Rock Project Day Two

Test of adhesive... New tube of Liquid Nails: never set up, the test rock fell off. Old tube of Nail Pro (next two rocks): held on pretty well, but still soft, can't find in the store. Polyurethane Premium from Lowes: looks like a solid winner.

We rented a grinder and used a masonary cutter to try cutting the rocks. Three hours (and $20) later, one corner piece is done:

It looks nice, but clearly, we need better technology if this is ever going to get done.

Rock Project Day One

We brought a load of rocks back with us from Utah. (In an unrelated news item, we've replaced the transmission in the Caravan since coming back.)

Here is our rock cleaning station.

Seems like enough, doesn't it?

Here is one of two unsuspecting endtables that we bought at Big Lots.

Take the top off and turn it around. The front is the back and the back is the front.

The old back gets a new front. (Hey, Dave, there's your blood donation card.)

A little chicken wire, and we are ready to rock.
