Marj3 Continues.

I continued to mosaic Marj3 today.  There should be about a week more of tile work, and then I can move on to grouting.  Feeling good about how everything is going!

Setting Up To Mosaic!

I cleaned the studio today, and moved in 2 of the Marj 3 pieces.


The 3rd one is set-up outside.  It was to big and heavy to bring into the studio.


Tomorrow morning I will be breaking tile, and if all goes well Thursday the mosaicing will start!

New Concrete Work Area


Today we put up a floor for my new concrete work area.  Now I can work in the shade.  Going to making some concrete planters next week and wrapping up non-recyclables in wire mesh.
 

Leon and Korbin making sure there are no mice under the new floor.

The Garbage is piling up.


 It has been more than a year since I last worked in concrete, and it is starting to show around the yard.  With the days getting warmer I am starting to think about encasing things in concrete again.

 
There are bags and boxes of non-recyclable garbage that are ready to be wrapped in wire, and covered with concrete.  Soon to look like this Garbage Wall that I started a few years ago.
