studio sink

i just bought this 1930's farm sink for the studio on eBay... for $10!!! now i just have to find someone(s) to go to fall river to pick it up with me. it's supposed to weigh about 300lbs, yikes.

genu-INE I-talian sink

just picked myself up this sink i bought on eBay today, i drove very far to get it (because i am on a budget) the sink was very reasonable (read: cheap), but looks awesome and came straight from italy. and it must be italian, it says frah-gee-lay on the box. i also eBayed myself this nice little faucet for it that looks totally money (but wasn't). the whole shebang will look perfect-o with the fortunato (which isn't actually made in italy, but instead in china, oh well, who cares, it looks rockin').

hark...

what is that which i spy through the woods?....


why it's ryan and justin, and they are building things!!!!!

still waiting

in the meantime, i went over to the bay to try and find ryan and instead found a large box outside my door. i pushed it into the garage bay and started to open it. well, at first glance i thought i had indeed found ryan, and someone had encased him in a block of foam and shipped him to me in this box, so i was careful to cut the foam away....

but still no ryan, it's the fortunato though!

waiting

so i have been trying to do what i can around the lot. i brought a load of gravel up from the hole to the driveway. i am collecting smooth rocks and bringing them up by hand to the driveway to create a cobblestone type area. i am doing the same right in front of the house, t try and ward off erosion. i have raked a bunch of the hill and spread erosion control seed there. and tried to spread some wild flowers in front of the neighbors septic pipes to block my view. don't forget the 16 hours of troweling that went into the foundation exterior.
