do share my guy. I spent 4 hours (thanks to the hacksaw) sitting on my patio with a moving blanket. Neighbors kiddos peeked over the fence to see why I was hammering away lol

Really though. I’m happy with the pieces I got. I see what you mean about following the rock. Looked at each piece, had a hunch where to apply chisel, got great useable pieces and rubble.

played around with the pieces while taking a smoke break, eerie how they fit together when you don’t think about it.

Busted up 2 buckets worth... ill post pics in a bit

Ok picture time....
I did not get into the cured stuff... its still in my totes...

Here is all the rock, the bag of mid and small rubble, and the powder from busting up this rock... this is about 60 pounds or so of rock...

nice. Makes me feel even better about my pieces. Overall they’re not as round as yours. But overall size is similar. Makes me feel better about my end result lol

not sure I even know how to start with the actual scaping beyond just putting things together that seem to fit and running with it.

That's all I will be doing. Each peice has its own personality.... I usually fit 3 or 4 together before actually gluing them...

Non reefing update so it's in my journal....

Car pulled out in front of me todsy on my motorcycle. Had to jam on the brakes and laid it down at like 35 or 40 mph to avoid hitting her... she stopped long enough to ask if I was ok then left. Another motorist called 911 for me...
I am beat up but I'm fine. Nothing major broken or internal injuries.

PSA: always wear your helmet please. I was going only .15 miles from the park where I had dinner with my son to the storage unit I keep my bike in... this could have been so much worse.

So glad it wasn't worse, obviously wish it hadn't happened at all. Wishing you a speedy recovery !

Holy heck, that looks painful. Asphalt doesn’t forgive! You need some leather... one of my buddies did the same thing about a year ago and lost his front teeth because he had a bowler on. Glad you’re okay! Hope they get you patched up and packing soon.

I was in a hurry when I left the house... thought oh its not that far. Normally have leather jacket and gloves on... would have saved me a lot of pain...

@F i s h y Glad it was just skin, dude. Plus side- if you save the pants, you can be Bruce Banner for Halloween!

 

[Lost in the Sauce]
