Re: My Wood fired Redux

No garlic, only because it's easy to get good stuff.

Try this for your deer problem....

String fishing line across entry points the deer use to your garden, and attach some tags along the line so you can see it. Painters tape works too. Then take dryer sheets and place them here and there. What happens is the smell of the sheets screws up their sense of smell, and when that happens they are really nervous. The fishing line freaks them out when the walk into it, because they can't see it.

These techniques worked wonders at our home in CT, were we had 4 acres backed up by hundreds of acres of forest. Never had deer trouble after that.

Nixed the concrete? ...................I'm elbow deep into my counters and now you tell me,
Can't wait to see it.

Lol. I just couldn't pass this up. It's a 2" slab 3'x7' and it has great veining, with a very unique formation right in the center...it looks like a galaxy. My wife actually found it while I was in another part of the quarry...she does have a great eye. It's a beautiful piece, and looks stunning as it is...and it's not even polished yet! I'll be doing that, and some kind of edge treatment. Our relocation plans have changed, and since we are staying the slab replaced the crete. Can't wait to get the footing in, this is going to be a masonry cabinet with a stone veneer.

Oh and wait until you guys see what I have for my counter. Nixed the concrete, this is way better.

Thanks V. The cedar is another compromise, I really wanted to do the stone slabs.....I just have no time.

The stone would have looked great as well, but i think the cedar provides contrast/change from all the stone.

I'm still going to use the granite ridge cap, but I'm going to cut and carve a flat base plate out of granite for the cap to sit on. The flashing is going to be lead.

Finished up the cedar on one side and prepped the other for Monday.

Side shot. Still learning the iPhone and iPad stuff...haven't figured out how to post normal pics. Stone work is a whole lot easier for me....
