Re: My Facetruck thread.
Looks great! Good move on 5-6” and good control joints. Should be really robust.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Hey Craig,
Those lawn pavers work very well, we use them under lawn in ares the fire trucks need to be able to turn around. There are different brands. Many of them, the grass grows over and you don’t even know they are there. |

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I've been curious about those grass pavers too. It seems in some applications that the little indentations eventually fill up with turf and the grass grows over the concrete part. Kind of like you're describing. Doesn't the grass then get all torn up when it is driven on? I think those pavers with grass look really good and allow water to absorb which is environmentally sound. I just don't know if it stays looking like that long-term.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I don't ever kill a black snake because if you have them around you won't have poisonous snakes.
I haven't heard of one coming in a house in years. Nothing to eat.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Black snakes love old houses and outbuildings because where there are rodents you will find a black snake hunting. This old place had them, mostly in the cellar. You'd see skins down there. During the restoration (log house) I had all the exterior walls built but across the front. While I was redoing the chinking we had one slip into our living room. That was exciting!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
When's the last time you ever rode a train? Have you ever ridden on a train? When I was a kid we still used trains a lot for passenger travel. My mom never drove and every summer we would ride the train up home to Grandma and Grandpa's with her. I guess that's some history now, but not as old or as exciting as this

Re: My Facetruck thread.
My first train ride was in 1966. I was 14 years old and I rode the train from Granby, CO to Hot Sulphur Springs to get my learners permit to drive.
I've done a couple of train rides since. I have wanted to do an Amtrak tour but don't seem to get the time. I love to learn about the history of railroads in America.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Until the last few years, my mom would take the train from here in Maryland to visit my sister in Santa Fe. My next older sister went with her the last trip. I'd like to do that trip sometime.
Back in '89 when we took the '71 camper truck on a vacation to NM/AZ we took a surprise train ride. We headed up to Chama, NM after leaving my sister's in Taos on our way to Mesa Verde. We got a campsite in Chama and people would ask if we were there to take the train ride. They had just opened the Cumbres-Toltec railroad for tourism. If you don't know about this train ride, it's a joint effort between NM and CO. What a great experience for my family! I hear it soon became necessary to get a reservation the year before. And we just fell into it. I call that a lucky day. You've seen the picture before, most likely. But I took this on our drive up to Chama the day before the train ride. No train ride pics on the 'puter

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Mildred, the church gossip and self-appointed monitor of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business. Several members did not approve of her extra-curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence. She made a mistake, however, when she accused Frank, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon. She emphatically told Frank (and several others) that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing! Frank, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny. He said nothing. Later that evening, Frank quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred's house and walked home..

Re: My Facetruck thread.
At Friday night services, Morris went to his friend Irving and said,
"Irving, I need a favor - I'm sleeping with the rabbi's wife. Can you hold him in temple for an hour after services for me?" Irving was not very fond of the idea, but being Morris' lifelong friend, he reluctantly agreed. After services, he struck up a conversation with the rabbi asking him all sorts of stupid questions in an effort to keep him occupied. After some time, the wise rabbi became suspicious and asked, " Irving what are you really up to with all this?" Irving , filled with feelings of guilt and remorse, confessed to the rabbi "I'm sorry Rabbi, my friend Morris is sleeping with your wife right now and asked me to keep you occupied." The rabbi smiled and, putting a brotherly hand on Irving 's shoulder, said " Irving I think you'd better hurry home, my wife died two years ago."
