stupid wall

posted from iPhoneSlide.com

Just got a call that this wall is the wrong color. I’m heading up to Novato to paint it gray. I kinda hate this thing. It looks like it belongs in the haunted house of a traveling carny. The corners of the stones have lips that seem unnatural and they line up to well… Sorry. This was my first attempt and I didn’t take Stagecraft 401 in college…

  3. I think it looks pretty good. Your observations are sound, though. Lots of pointy corners and the mortar is uniform in width throughout the wall. Is that something you can touch up?

  4. The grout line! That’s what the problem is. I couldn’t figure that out. Sean and I used tape to mask off areas, so of course it came out pretty even…lesson for next time.

  6. Oh, I gotta say kudos to you for remembering that remedial classes at UNH started in the 400′s and not the 100′s.
