Yeah, why not? I like it.

I also love the use of the manhole covers as pavers.
I was gonna ask, “why so many manhole covers?”

Kinda cool.

Was thinking there’s some serious plumbing going on under there. A friend of my younger brother lives in GA and he literally created a flowing stream down the hill behind his house; with waterfalls and a nice sized catch basin that looks like a natural pond. A significant investment into that property, but it was cool as hell. Huge pumps and pipes, with manhole covers like those spread across the area if you knew where to look.

Was thinking it was something along those lines, and never even considered their use as pavers! LoL



edit: pic thread rules: After three years in this house, we’re finally (!) getting around to painting the exterior. The previous owners wound up painting it some weird taupe-mauve color that we can’t stand; building the detached garage was the impetus we needed to get the house painted too.

Very motivational to us!

We just submitted the colors to the HOA (yeah, yeah, I know…), but curious what the hide thinks of these three options for the main color on the stucco; can pick only one. Maybe I’ll start a poll, LoL.

Trim and soffit boards are staying the same color; a kind of dark brown…this was the closest we could find for a paint chip (scrap board is painted with actual trim color):

One more time. Douglass Mackie was convicted of voter fraud for making a meme saying you could send a text to a certain number to vote for Hillary, instead of going to the polls, essentially tricking voters.
How is it not equal trickery when most media outlets reported Russian collusion as factual, with no supporting evidence, and the FBI saying the crackhead's laptop was Russian disinformation, when they knew it wasn't?


Can't be a lefty w/o being a hypocrite.

Is there some reason you can't defend your ideology, when tasked to support your positions past what the talking heads told you to believe?

That thing is sold on BudK for about $120 or so. Seen it in their catalog. Nonfunctional except for the machete blade. Even if it is a live fire capable piece, loading and disassembly would be a PITA. With that knife blade there, the loading lever is completely useless and you would have to load the cylinder on a table or a rock with a dowel and a mallet. And as Colt open-tops are held together by the threads at the rear of the central pin (arbor) alone, with no solid topstraps or frame hinges, if one was to actually use the "bayonet" in combat, ONE good smack on that blade will bend the arbor or dislocate it just enough that the cylinder will be locked up and unable to turn once the hammer is attempted to be worked again.
 
This reminds me: do any of you remember the little pieces of wood you could put in the end of a cigarette and they would explode when lit? I did that to a pack of my dad’s Lucky Strikes. Got my little ass busted too.

If I could find those today I’m telling you I would sabotage a couple/dozen cigars in my buddy’s humidor and let nature take its course.
Here you go...........google it, lots of options..........
