<p> I spoke to a gentleman today about some advertising. He said that there was a radio station doing a live auction for projects. I would state how much it was and what I was willing to do and they would give me that much of radio advertisement. Then they sell it for half the amount of the job. My problem is I am having trouble thinking of what would best help me advertise the vertical concrete, now remember this is all free! I will have to pay for all the material and labor for the job.

<p>Hi All. I am a newb to the forum and industry as a whole. Can anyone tell me if I can use frozen or old product. I have 30 buckets of permacrete and 10 buckets of STO from when I did a resurface job. My furnace in the garage went out and I didnt notice. All of the product has been frozen and thawed several times now both Acrylic and topcoat.</p>
<p>Is it junk or can I use it on some small home outdoor projects to try and develope some sculpture chops?</p>

<p>Hello Nathan.</p>
<p>I’m sorry to chat and run yesterday. I am sitting here reflecting on the day. I am simply amazed at how fortunate I am.</p>

<p>Hello Nathan.</p>
<p>I’m sorry to chat and run yesterday. I am sitting here reflecting on the day. I am simply amazed at how fortunate I am.</p>

<p>When I use my 1 ton Dodge flat bed it is usually fully loaded and on a tight schedule.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yesterday while we were starting to chat, I ran the tuck down to our lower shop to load some things.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>While I was backing down the drive way, the spline between the shaft and the steering box let go. My truck had NO steering!</p>
<p>The last trip had a bed full of tool boxes and a skid steer on the trailer. Next week I was scheduled to take the truck and trailer on a 400 mile trip to help a friend move loaded waste oil tanks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thinking about the day, I feel like I have just won the lottery. Can you imagine the odds of loosing all steering on a heavy vehicle at the one time it is unloaded and in front of a shop with tools!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am only feeling humble and thankful at the moment.</p>
<p>Thank you for bringing this great group together and sharing knowledge about themed concrete.</p>
<p>Thank you for sharing our stucco sprayers with everyone. This is a great adventure and I have a renewd focus of savoring every moment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All my best, Happy Thanksgiving</p>

<p>Artisans,</p>
<p>I've based a successful +27 year career in this industry designing, building, and training others to fabricate very believable rock-work, trees, vines, etc.... based on a few simple disciplines. VERY BRIEFLY, among the main tenets I have emphasized to success are:</p>
<p>1. A close observation of nature; the seemingly random natural patterns, both in texture and in coloring. Observe the source and focus on the subtleties...there is much more going on than a quick look…</p>
<p>Artisans,</p>
<p>I've based a successful +27 year career in this industry designing, building, and training others to fabricate very believable rock-work, trees, vines, etc.... based on a few simple disciplines. VERY BRIEFLY, among the main tenets I have emphasized to success are:</p>
<p>1. A close observation of nature; the seemingly random natural patterns, both in texture and in coloring. Observe the source and focus on the subtleties...there is much more going on than a quick look would suggest. Many out of the viewing public get this, even if they can't put any words down as to why. Either something looks real and convincing, or it looks quickly produced, animated, or just badly conceived.</p>
<p>2. A very strong personal standard for producing high quality work, even when the job's pay or the bosses behavior just doesn't quite warrant it. In the end, this is about YOU and your potential word-of-mouth references which may lead on to future work.</p>
<p>3. NEVER burn professional bridges.....ever....because it WILL come back to haunt you!</p>
<p>4. If the work is for a zoo, aquarium, kids playground, or some other structure which has to be used by some "unofficial client" like exotic animals, zookeepers, or children, then keep their needs in mind with most everything you do. If they find your work uncomfortable, difficult to climb on, dangerous, or even boring, than you have begun to fail.</p>
<p>I could go on for a long time with a lot more detail, but hopefully any one out there who has concerns or ideas on this general matter will feel free to share their thoughts and experiences.</p>

<p>This may be a dumb question and if it is i'm gonna blame it on my son! Can anyone give me some advice on making rocks for a saltwater aquarium? Not so much how to create them but wether you can use these kinda mixes for it. I've heard of people using sacrete (regular concrete) but they say you have to let it sit about a month before you can use them. I guess my question really is " will it hold up being constantly submerged in saltwater?" I really feel like I'm asking a stupid question…</p>

I guess my question really is " will it hold up being constantly submerged in saltwater?" I really feel like I'm asking a stupid question because I know a lot of you guys build pools and ponds and evidently it holds up but will the salt make a difference or will it hurt the fish? My son has an aquarium and asked if I would make him some rock to put in it but I didn't know if this is possible. Any advice will definitely be much appreciated, thanks!</p>
