So I have been trying to go taller

So I have been working on the sculpture for the house on the side of the mountain.

First you beat it on the sandbag,

Sandbag work can be sooooo relaxing. Just cut it oversize and beat it in to shape,Beat it on the sandbag.: Sandbag work can be sooooo relaxing. Just cut it oversize and beat it in to shape,

Then you wheel it.

After awhile you look at it and wonder "Did I bend that backwards????

It's hot, I'm tired and I just messed up!Wait a second, the arrow points that way!!: It's hot, I'm tired and I just messed up!

But when you get all the cutting and welding and head scratching done, you get this,

7 foot 3 inchs tall. 16ga. steel. It is at the powdercoater now. Will pick it up in the morning and hope to install by noon. I will get some photos up mid week.Backflip: 7 foot 3 inchs tall. 16ga. steel. It is at the powdercoater now. Will pick it up in the morning and hope to install by noon.

Hi Kevin, the sculpture

Hi Kevin, the sculpture looks great, but I can't access the 1st three pictures. Every time i try it says I'm not authorized to view this page. Anybody know whats going on or what I'm doing wrong?

What color are you painting it?

Color?????

Oh Heck, I was supposed to pick a color!!!

Just a joke. We settled on a light red-ish. The front of the house is very dark so we wanted something to contrast. I will pick it up today and install in a day or two. I will get a photo up by Wensday.

Yup, I had the same problem as Jake- not allowed access. I guess you and me, Jake- we're just not on the in crowd...

You are not doing anything

You are not doing anything wrong! Kevin is the culprit. He unchecked the "Public" Group of the image so that no one can see the original. I went in and edited the images and turned on the public viewing so you should be able to see them now.
