laundry tubs are really good work!

I like the infinity wall paper.

I own a sink like that. Triple bowl, about 7 feet long, from back in the day when people boiled their clothes and scrubbed them on the washboard formed into the side of the sink. Mine's got the cracks like all of them, and they slow leak.

Do you think I could soak the thing in epoxy and have it seal it up adequately? Or, get one of the bathtub electro-glaze operations to put a coating on it...(?).

I love the sink; couldn't ever get one as nice. Also, moving it is nearly impossible; it weighs about 500 lbs.

Raintight was a concrete sealant that worked really well. It was originally designed for cisrens. Google can't seem to find it.

Sorry Lamb. Cool pics.

Try some of that spray sealant that is advertised on TV. The type where they put put a screen in the bottom of a John boat, seal it up whh the spray and go fishing.

Fiberglass resin is easy to work with and might be cheaper than epoxy.

Sledgehammer.

Did that once. Discovered it's mostly expanded metal math. They don't go to chunks. You end up with a snarled mess of lathe and concrete. It ends up being an almost unmanageable mess; you can't separate the wire and concrete. We ended up having to take it apart with a cutting torch.

I want to save it. I like the idea of the spray sealant. I could make a boat out of it.

I like the wallpaper picture but it is too busy somehow. []

Leaky sinks are kind of sad.

I parged our concrete bird bath with a cup full of cement. Just Portland cement and water, no sand. Bird bath holds water now.

A day of fishing with you would be nothing short of awesome.

Bluegills are on the beds and biting like crazy. Lightweight fly rod and 6X tippet makes for great sport.
