To be clear nature did the waterfall, we just built the path. Seen some of your work with stacked stone and know how difficult it is to get something durable and permanent.

I've been a heavy smoker for 32 years

36 years, and went out to get skins and bread, thought "might go for a beer in the midday sun" so got weak and bought a pack of cigarettes. Good job I did, couldn't even smoke a whole one because of the taste, the perfect reminder of why I have to be stronger than that addiction because that cigarette, my usual brand, tasted fecking awful.

Ouch.

Doing some long procrastinated touch up work and my polyurethane appears to have glazed over.

I may have bent the lid tapping it on with a 5 lb. sledge. Oops.

pssst. anybody want to buy some polyurethane shatter?

Yesterday I had an "incident" with Locktite Gap & Crack expanding foam.

Let me just say that foam has changed since I used it last.

The old stuff didn't keep expanding forever, and it wasn't like gorilla glue that bonds to anything porous.

Good thing I kept the disk from the hole saw for paint matching. I need to do some touch up work... :wall:

Outside where it's pretty hot.

Expands you say? Let me think about this one a while.

That shit is super sticky and sets up fast.
And it bonds to paint -- permanently.

I highly recommend a few things for your project -- that I didn't use:
1) Rubber gloves. (I still had tiny spots of foam stuck to my skin this morning.)
2) Masking tape. (self explanatory)
3) Several pieces of cardboard to use as disposable scrapers.

Alcohol won't dissolve it, even when it's relatively fresh.
Goof off doesn't work either.

Be careful out there...

acetone is supposed to dissolve it, but acetone also dissolves most plastics and a lot of paint, so be careful if you try it. also says you can get it off your hands with vaseline, but i've found it just wears off in a day or two

My wife had her crv towed last night to have her rear diff fluid changed. Started making noises on the way home a known prob with the crv. When I called the garage this morning they said it was never dropped off. Called the tow company and they told me they don't know where it is. Got my insurance company involved and they finally found it still on the flatbed at the tow shop. still don't know what the fuck is going on. I normally change it myself but wasn't home so I said send it to the shop. Never again. Found out the owner of the tow shop is going to jail in 30 days for unpaid fines . Not sure if that has anything to do with it. Shady fucks.

How much does he charge you to put new fluid in your wife's rear?
