Some lib would probably say "child labor"

I don't see a back brace, regulation safety glasses, chaps - inattentive worker with dangerous posture.


Other than that, great pics. Glad you got to spend some quality time together.

I didn't use child labor for mine, strictly slave labor. Red earning her keep!

Do either of you guys deliver? My smoker should be here tomorrow.

Mostly get them to burn but I have made some cool projects with them as well. This for instance......

If you stack 20 of them up and douse them with gasoline, don't do it close to the house, or the woods line...


Ask me how I know...LOL

That's an interesting picture of a kitchen. Kinda pop art style. Almost leaps out at you.

If you spent less time with the pallets Swampy you'd have more time for other wood.

Bonfires are a good place to meet people...From the sheriff's office and the Lake Patrol. :-)


I wasn't fire marshall on this one I'm thinking about, but I have to plead guilty to enjoying it.

Bingo! I knew there was something. It's the lighting and the look through to the kitchen that grabs your attention and gives it an interesting dimension.


The other thing I thought of was a painting I think I have in my mind. Dutch, probably, of a woman at a wooden table looking out an open window. 17th century or so...all about light and dimension.

While I was looking for it, I found some pictures of other forum members and their homes:


Bullz-i's house:



Crookedeye's, after he got his smoker, but before he gave up on chicken:




The last dinner party I threw. We had lobster:

But I've moved on. Recently, my sister and her husband invited me over to their house for a family portrait:

19.) bluecat - 09/15/2016

What are you holding in your hand? Looks like her tail or you're trying to start a syphon.

And by old you really mean she is not young. Even the cat is embarrased by that pic.

21.) Swamp Fox - 09/15/2016

I'm glad I don't have to explain my own jokes...:wink


I have a bad-enough habit of laughing at them as it is. :-)


Here you go:


[I]It has recently been suggested that this painting serves as a warning against foolish and mischievous behaviour. The boy has used the small eel to entice the cat into his grasp and then withholds the bait, while the girl teases the cat further by pulling its tail. Judging by its extended claws, the cat is about to scratch the boy. The picture thus seems to allude to the Dutch saying: 'He who plays with cats gets scratched', meaning he who looks for trouble will get it. It was common in Dutch 17th-century painting to use children in order to point out the foolish behaviour of adults.

Judith Leyster, a painter of genre scenes, portraits and still lifes, was mainly active in Haarlem and Amsterdam. In 1636 she married the painter Jan Miense Molenaer, whose work is also represented in the collection. The broad brushstrokes, the cropped composition and the depiction of youthful happiness all show Frans Hals’ influence on Leyster.

This is why I never got good grades. I like my syphon theory better. Just sayin.

He just started a syphon to finish off his wine and he knows she'll be drunk soon without any clothes. And the cat is saying, "Here we go again. Can't a brother get some sleep around here."

24.) Swamp Fox - 09/15/2016

That looks like [I]Holy Grail's [/I]dragon meets the Beetles' Mr. Nowhere Man.... If I'm remembering my Beetles psychedelia correctly, the characters at the top of that are not Mr. Nowhere Man, but are -or look a little like--some other characters in one of those animations.

25.) bluecat - 09/15/2016

Thinking the same thing.

26.) bluecat - 09/15/2016

To be fair I reviewed through some of the different art styles.

Medieval Art, Minimalism, Mixed Media, Modern Art, Mosaic Art, Neoclassicism, Pointillism, Pop Art, Portrait Art, Post Impressionism, Pre Raphaelites, Primitivism, Psychedelic Art, Realism, Romanesque Art, Romanticism, Surrealism

Then I thought, it's closer to Monty Python.

27.) Swamp Fox - 09/15/2016

I'm almost positive the upper portion of that are Beetles characters. The lower left I can't put my finger on, but it's in the style of Python, except for all the squigglies or roots and branches or whatever they are. But the green monster with the horn definitely looks familiar.

Check with Hillary. I think she's got a program to make them free.

31.) Jon - 09/15/2016

I normally only have one or two stacks of pallets but I'm having a big party this Saturday and a bonfire is always planned at these things. I get them from the local newspaper, they put old pallets out every other day or so for people like me to take and I've been stockpiling them. I would assume most if not all will be gone come Sunday morning.
Here's looking from the kitchen into the living room, opposite view. Not so spectacular or art inspiring though.....

The tile you have in your kitchen looks like the exact same pattern we just put in our house. Aspen I believe was the name.

That looks like the same layout as our kitchen, including the placement of all cabinets, the island, the dishwasher (that is a dishwasher on the lower-right, isn't it?) and the window (except that our window is an outside one). Hell, we even have our paper towel dispenser in the exact same spot. The biggest difference is that we have a gas cook-top above the two lower cabinets on the left, and so no drawers there.

What is it that gizmo with the green light that you have plugged in above the glass canisters?

36.) bluecat - 09/15/2016

I'm guessing your caulk is smaller though.

Yes, dishwasher in lower right.
The gizmo is the electric company's "energy saving module" that turns red when we should be turning heat/ac back during times of extreme energy use.

bluecat, I have a box of some spare tiles in the basement, I'll check the pattern.

38.) bluecat - 09/15/2016

Here is a pic after we got done grouting. Tile is still pretty dirty. Tiling is some damn work.

39.) Swamp Fox - 09/15/2016

You realize you mixed up the small tiles with the big ones, right?

I don't know of anything you can do about that except start over.

Your wife should have supervised you closer.

40.) bluecat - 09/15/2016

Damn, I knew something was kind of strange about that.

41.) DParker - 09/15/2016

You just got the procedural order backwards. It's a common mistake. The correct sequence us:

1) Install tile.

2) Drink beer.

You just need more practice.

42.) bluecat - 09/15/2016

Wise guys

43.) Jon - 09/16/2016

Same pattern on the tile but mine isn't drunk
