Home a Week
Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 3rd Sep 2018
We have been home a week now. A busy week it has been. Two days to unload and clean the trailer. (We basically lived in it for 2 weeks in August.) Another day to unload the truck. Thursday was a pins and needles day. The home inspection was completed. We might not be able to afford to go through with this purchase. Issues with electrical, plumbing, gas lines, and an old septic system just might be more than we can afford. Asbestos too. Can you believe they put a new roof on and didn't bring the vents through? We are hoping to be able to get a contractor there before our decision time is up.
It appears that I will get 4 copper in matrix spheres out of the 2 purchases I made. It really eats up the diamond, both on the saw blades and the sphering cups. One is almost round. It was difficult to hand grind. The copper gets hung up and the grinder wants to rip it out of your hands. Another is waiting for hand grinding while a third is having the corners made. This one might not hold together. A fracture looks to be opening up.
Still grinding away on 2 Petrified Palm spheres. They are buggers to get the scratches out. I am thinking they may need to go on the shelf of shame for awhile.
Not much else new. Thanks for reading......
