Chit Chat in VOLTVILLE Thread #2 :)

Great idea, Sandy. Fill the front yard with pornographic statues.

That's a famous statue in Brussels, Belgium, I'll have you know!

A funny story: My landlord got a replica of it out of the basement, chuckling evilly. When I told him it was a famous statue, he was puzzled. I doubt he knew where the idea came from.

 

[JerryRM]

Famous statue or not, Sandy, it's still a naked boy urinating in a fountain. LOL

 

[tmcase]

Gez, where did the time go?

My sore shoulder was hurtin pretty bad this morning so I've been just puttering around the house trying to take it easy.

You guys are too funny about the front yard and the door. I'm with Rave about the front yard. I wish it looked like the back yard.

The door was painted with some kind of what looks like plastic. It looks like someone kicked it. Burgler or domestic violence, IDK. Anyway, since the paint has been gouged and peeling off I can't repaint it. I doubt it will all just peel off. This stuff is thick and flexible, not like paint. I don't know what it is and don't know how to remove it so I can paint. I was hoping that maybe one of you might know what this crap is and how to remove it without having to sand the whole door.

 

[tmcase]

Well ....! Double post and my connection is verrrrrry slow.

 

[JerryRM]

Sorry Terry, I don't have a clue.

 

[rave]

If you're getting into statuary in the fountain, what about this? Manneken Pis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Actually, that would be great for Terry's front yard. It would jibe with her rebelliousness, and would make a great social statement! Just sayin'.

Right !!!!! Like the milk bar in Clockwork Orange.

Tonight's good-night photo. Well, it's sort of a fall theme, even though today felt like spring.

 

[3mg Meniere]

23 deg F. feels like 11. Wind 14 mph from NW, gusts to 28 mph. Winter has begun. Swept snow off my car today.

 

[rave]

Yeah. Felt more like winter here too. Just wait, Sandy. It'll turn on you - probably tomorrow. Nice picture though!

 

[SandySu]

Don't say that! It might come true. I'm pretending winter's over. So is the forsythia in the yard.

 

[JerryRM]

It was 60 degrees here, today. I got most of the gutters cleaned.

 

[Tritium]

A real size statue of Keith Richards pissing on the lake would be true art....
Wuzz i sent technical details and plans via email



Terry that plastic might be easy to peel of with a heat gun. Heat and pull.

 

[tmcase]

I could try that but it might turn into a sliding streak og goo.[emoji13]

31 degrees here. High today a whopping 37.

Good morning

Yes we said warm it up not fry the door and burn the house
Just a little is ok, you will probably feel it loosen up and pull slowly as you go.

 

[tmcase]

Rave's coming for a visit. She's going to help me figure out where and how to setup my security camera's and check out my woods and show me what I should cut down to open up my view and push back my encroaching trees. I hope she dresses warm. Brrrrrr!

'moanin Volties.

I second the heat gun trick, Terry, but use it slowly and cautiously. I always end up burning my finger tips doing stuff like that, but it does work.

Hey Sandy, are you going to get any lake effect snow today or tonight? Looks like your "spring" has broken already, big time.

It was in the mid 70's here yesterday and will be in the upper 60's today. Tonight is another story though. I think we'll actually be turning the heat on before we go to bed.
