Real Estate Collapse

I'm actually a pretty good drywall man and when I first lost my last job I did that for a while to make ends meet. I also helped one of my old co-workers to finish an addition he had done.

i've always wanted to learn how to build dry stone walls, she said, wistfully.

Uhm ...
That's something different. You're talking about dry stacked rock walls made without mortar, right? LOVE 'em!

We call papered gypsum board, "drywall" over here. I worked with "plaster,"  but I have made fake brick, fake adobe and fake field stone walls for photo sets in the past. Painting them to authenticity by layers of washing, drybrushing, highlighting is one of my talents.

The last "outdoor brick wall" I made on a flat wall of a photo studio was only twelve feet wide, but I forced the perspective and you would swear that it was fifty or more feet wide in the background of a portrait.

There are a few of those in northern Indiana, built as the Amish cleared the land for farming.

hey, dawg, let's get together with your music collection, my singing (and i'll even play guitar with my navel showing - yes i have a very good memory), my cooking (and some of yours, cos i want to try it), and we'll make baeutiful music and dry stone walls together. 

sound like a plan?

Sounds like the start of a good plan, but quite a few details need to be worked over, yet.

Proximity pops to mind, along with a possible instance of The Eyebrow Guy's wrath and the same from a very accomplished Eyebrow Gal who I know quite well. There is also the set of major complications associated with Thing 1 and Thing 2, who live at my present address. (they would steal your heart, for sure, despite your resistance)

This plan may need some more work.


(the sentiment is warmly welcomed, though)

Damn, my practical side!

What a burden.

Thanks.  Amy has a part time job, and I'm still looking to get my next job.  I applied at a great place this morning which supposedly uses a lot of sustainable building practices.  I really hope to get that.

did i mention anything untoward?  i was planning on a nice, friendly dry-stone-wall-building adventure, you rudely minded chap, you. 

mind you, given it's me doing the planning, i don't blame you for thinking something filthy must be involved somewhere.

Good luck

The road I'm on is lined with rocks people dragged out of the feilds hundreds of years ago, not much field left, mostly woods now.

Somebody did some nice landscaping at my house using the stone around here. That is one bust ass job and looks good.

housing mess has many causes, all put together it turned into a total mess.

[Parts]

I am jealous.   I need space
