Found Dreaming

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!! What on earth caused that? You said an "explosion"!! What could have exploded??? My prayers are with you as well, brother. Hope and pray you recover use of that hand. I did something similar when I was about 11 yrs of age. The two middle fingers were flat against the b...

Truth is, Jammer, the lending companies seriously desire these inspectors "DO THEIR JOB" as those inspections protect not just the lender but the buyer as well. While looking for another home to buy I've performed my own inspections and rejected three homes for a variety of defects, two ho...

On another note: I was offered a job at "Deep In The Heart Art Foundry" in San Antonio, Tx when I drove there just before Christmas to attend my son's wedding the day after Christmas. Stopped by the foundry and chatted them up (second time I've visited them, first was last August). They ma...

FINALLY... sold my home/property; bought me a new truck (so I'm back to have'n 4 wheels and a truck bed for use); paid off the ex; paid off a shit ton of bills; still got 28K in the bank (6K committed to down payment on new digs in a nice part of town); then another 4K slotted for home inspection tr...

That bear (full scale) may very well be over and done with. I purely hate to say it. What I'll have available to move into, has only a small garage attached... which will serve to store a shit load of personal belongings till I can find another place to buy that has a shop. Likely, that could take a...

Well... the house I put an offer on didn't pass inspection. I did the inspection, myself, because from what I've seen other inspectors do (more like fail to do), I felt it in my best interest to do the inspection because I fully understand and know what it is I'm looking for with regard to a home's ...

Years ago a good friend of mine (ceramic artist) assisted me with a bronze pour. First time he ever poured metal turns out a spider crawled into the sand mold when we weren't looking just prior to make'n the pour. As the metal went in we heard a loud "POP" and out the vent riser come a squ...

WOW!!! What an AMAZING collection!! I recently come across some cast iron collectibles, i.e., cookie molds that are cool I'd love to have. They wanted over 60 bucks per mold. I've waited, now, for a couple months during which time it was revealed the place is closing and up for sale... it's a small ...

I was being sarcastic, Jerry... LOL... As for the bear, that's still up in the air as to what I'll do with it. Will depend on what's available to move into whether or not it'll be feasible to get set back up to finish it. I won't give up on it till it becomes painfully obvious I need to let go and d...

I've had glitches in selling this place, too, Jerry. First buyer we negotiated back and forth for a few weeks, then when we settled on price he went to the bank and didn't qualify. Second batter up came along rather quickly. I gave them the price I was willing to sell to the first guy, he tried to n...
