Good night Allen.

Ya know, that second to last picture looks like a head with two eyes, a mouth and two braids sticking out the sides! Kinda reminds me of a Aztec statue with a mole

Looking good buddy!

BigAl07 · 02-26-2008, 12:24 AM

thanks buddy! Hope it's still NICE down your way. they issued a Winter Storm Watch for us for the next 48 hours. This is getting SILLY!

Frankie · 02-26-2008, 12:29 AM

Oh boy. Sorry Al. It was in the 70's today and sunny. Let me know when it warms up again so we can try again.
And good night

Hey allen, I know you have already been asked this, but how did you get your rock column to stay up?

BigAl07 · 02-26-2008, 07:53 AM

Good morning gang

Yeah it looks like Mother Nature is trying to see how MANY different weather conditions she can pack into ONE week for us. We almost hit 65 on Saturday after a brutally cold Friday night (was 28 Saturday morning). Then Sunday rain. Monday CLEAR sunny and 62. Over night severe thunderstorm and rain like crazy. Today's high was last night at midnight (45) and we are under a Heavy Snow Advisory for tonight with tomorrow's HIGH being 30. It's just too crazy! I don't know what coat to wear in the morning for the afternoon!!

Michael I have the rock columns "pegged & glued". The two on the right have short pegs between the rock work and in some places reef e[epoxy. The "Rock Tree" on the left is drilled continuously top to bottom with a 5/8's or 3/4 acrylic rod (can't remember.. I ordered one of each) which is firmly anchored into a hidden flat rock "plate" under the sand. I drilled through all of them one at a time and arranged/offset them as I went. When it was how I thought it should be I went back and put some small "gobs" of epoxy to maintain the structure and look.

I hope this sheds some light and my PM's are always open if you need anything.

Good Morning WORLD
