New hobby. (woodworking related on many levels: building a bar.)

Isn't that ridiculous? Given that only 10% of all asbestos ever produced was the nasty sort and that most people wear masks around anything dusty, the class action lawsuits (here, how about there?) and gov't regulation on these things just sicken me.

I wouldn't mind repointing decent brick 'n mortar, but this was like styrofoam in places. Coulda been limeless mortar back then. And someone may have cooked their own bricks, but the building is still standing. I wouldn't live there. Uh, uh!

Soooo, where's the pic of the sign, eh, hoser?

You mind if I design, cut, have it painted and hung first? LOL

What, you don't have a SketchUp rendering?

By the way, SketchUp is the best CAD program ever.

[Robatoy]

I only bite on wrong evaluations of The Holy Land (Canada).

SketchUp works. . . . . so does a crayon. g,d&r

[Larry Jaques]

After seeing that paint job, no. I don't mind a bit. Can you give us a hint, though? The building face is 90' square. Will your sign be the same size, with a cutout for floor-level doors and display windows, I hope?

Do they have good crayons in Canada?

[Swingman]

From someone who had to learn to read before he figured out how NOT to paint the sky green and the grass pink ... what's a "good" crayon to you?

I would say that the only good crayon is the one that has the color written on it. :)

LOL! Being colorblind myself I can relate to that.

Somewhere, I still have a picture of a Tennessee couple that crossed the border here in Sarnia, with skis on the roof of their station wagon .......in JULY!

We can actually grow vegetables here!

According to my artist friends and long ago memories, The more colors the better. But as you pointed out, if you can not tell what color is which, that wouldn't help you.

I guess this means that you were not meant to be a painter-artist type.

For the record, I was not a good color-er in school. Yep, in first grade we were graded on our crayon skills. I doubt if that is a part of the curriculum any more.

[Robatoy]

I had a radio, as a kid, that had a green light and a red light on the front panel. The dial lights no longer worked but at night, the red and green bulbs lit my ceiling jointly. When I closed one eye, the ceiling was red, when I closed the other, the ceiling was green. That was a hint of things to come. Reddish/greenish browns are still my nemesis, all other colours seem to be okay.

And Leamington, an hour and a bit south from here, calls itself the tomato capital of the WORLD, no less. Heinz has had a huge factory there since 1906. We also have world-class wineries in Niagara region and Pelee Island. Latitude: 41=B045' 18.424

Memories abound.

-------------------------------------- The individual catsup package was developed at Leamington.

The chief engineer who developed it took his bonus money and bought a

44 ft sailboat which he kept at the Leamington harbor for a couple of years before retiring and heading out to warmer climes for year around sailing.

Pelee island in L Erie is quite unique.

Has an extended growing season and is isolated enough to be used for growing seeds, primarily corn.

It's isolation eliminates cross pollination problems when producing seed corn.

THIS Niagara region?

Grape popsicles?

Soon the Monsanto Police will be patrolling the waters around Pelee in their speed boats.

Ice wine. Super sweet, stupid money, but a commercial success.
