I realize I am treading on dangerous ground here, but can't you carve stone with a hammer drill?

Absolutely awesome! I know life will be back to normal in no time at all. There is no medicine like home sweet home. Give Maddie a hug, kiss, and a little tickle from me!!



I, on the other hand, have no such aversion. I think I will make this tomorrow, I just happen to have a roast in the freezer............

You'll probably make it first. Let us know.

Its entirely possible to carve stone with a sand blaster too. Just throwing power tools out there....

my place is covered with granite boulders.... They are so soft and flaky you can drive a nail into them with a hammer. Yet below that six inch depth they are the same as granite countertops...

on this lg 9300 the heating element is 4"x4" square positioned off center toward the north end. I noticed that the eggs directly under the element hatched early. The eggs on the far south end were either late or didnt hatch. The temp varies 2-4 degrees from the north end to the south end. I was hoping to just wrap a computer fan with screen and lay it inside somewhere. Idk if it would help or not.

Low tech solution: Rotate the eggs around to even up the hatching times.

Well, I don't know. That woman looking back at me isn't the happy, bubbly girl from my 20's. I don't even have a happy face, I look like a sour puss all the time. I try looking in the mirror and smiling to soften my look but it doesn't look right. I know that when I do smile at people, it feels like I am smiling bigger than I really am, according to the mirror. LOL

I dunno.... I look in the mirror and I think I'm looking pretty good. Of course, my eyes are going and I'm too vain to get glasses. I think all my friends look pretty terrific, too!

Right, nothing looks quite like a White Faced Black Spanish and like all other white lobed Med breeds (other than the aforementioned) lay a white egg. I've probably had as many Med breeds as any other class.

You can.

The key to finding good carving stone is to find those without fissures and cracks. Otherwise you can carve for weeks and all of a sudden it falls apart. Look them over really well before you start. Unless you start with a very large stone, you need to ask the stone what it wants to become. With most smaller stones, you may want to create a stork but it wants to become a quail.

i spun the lid around 180 degrees every day during my last hatch. I think the element is so small it needs some moving air.
