I don't think we are very good at choosing houses.  We have fallen out of escrow again do to major foundation/drainage issues.  Again we would have to pay for the fixes leaving no $$$ for a shop for sphering.  Doesn't help that Alan has decided he does not want to stay in LA alone.  At least the landlord here is willing to extend our lease until 2019.  

The weather has finally cooled.  Still high humidity (for us) but I have been able to work in the garage.   Various things in the rough grind stage, pinolith, some Wolfe flame, blood stone, a Wolfe Noreena.  I am even trying to figure out why I can't get the scratches out of a Rainbow Pet wood.  

In the saws, there is Marra Mamba, jade, an unusual obsidian with orange flowers and Coquina.  The house is humming.  Have to decide what to cube next.........

Thanks for reading...
