Hi Rich,
I snap the horseshoes in half to get them out of my way. A full horseshoe sticks out too much and I'm always bumping or hooking it. I keep tubs of fulls and halves.
Speaking of halves, here's what I did on the other side of the room. We used the molding element from the picture frame and I split them to make a base liner and a half-round to cap the narrow splash.
Gueuze, who eats lunch?

I love the crackled glaze pools of the Tantrum series.

Recently did a thing w/ a chair rail and chopped the bottom off of some. Well done, Shaughn.

Suddenly, when you create two elements out of one they become a much better bargain. I don't think it would have worked as well with a glossy ceramic.

Heres one we started last week, a small master bath that just keeps going and going. We reframed the shower to make it as big as possible in a small area, new plumbing and fixtures etc. We should finish it out on Tuesday.

Looks great Steve. What's that polished stone? It looks like Jerusalem?? All of the Jerusalem in my area has dried up and no body seems to be stocking it anymore.

Job I did several weeks ago for a graphics artist. It turned out,he has same brand"Nikon" camera as I,and he has a 12 24 mm lenses for his camera,which I've been interested in. He let me put the lense on my camera,so I could see/compare the difference with the lense I've been using(18 55mm)

It does allow me to get in more,esp when constricted cause of space.
Still on the fence as far as buying it,as it's almost 1G.

Standard 18 55mm lense........
