With the quickness it will. Not really good for concrete either.
Ep henry is just formed and colored concrete. It looks good if it's fine right but I won't use it. I use real stone and brick and shape it myself with a hammer. Unless it's blue stone. That comes shaped already.
Also, the grain in real stone adds such a nice detail if it's nice stone

The grain in real stone looks so nice.
Those 3 are my favorite stone jobs I've done. That retaining wall was serious, shaping all those stones was super time consuming. Also hand picked every stone from the quarry.

Was an insane amount of work and didn't use a helper on that one

If this bait doesn't draw him back in, I think we have lost him!

I'm back.

It's been a very mean week.

I shoveled/blew snow repeatedly. My back, hip, big toe and arms hurt. I tweaked my back a couple times, so I took a flexerill and marched onward.

My 2 houses are on a hill, with a winding river at the bottom. There is a severe ice jam there right now, water rising rapidly.

I have been assisting my friends below the flood line.

This is my buddy's back yard where we sit and get high in the summer. You can't tell from the pic, but the water is rising quick and could reach that bench by 5PM.
0118181250a_HDR.jpg
I now have an Indian and a Harley in my garage. (why can't it be summer, I have a license!)
Friends below flood level put them in my garage.
There are choppers flying over non stop.

It's nice to live on a hill. I'm still alive but pretty busy. I have to help evacuate a couple others, back later.

It is good to see you're basically OK! I was thinking car crash or something.

We knew you were busy with something but we didn't know what. Ohh and next time you mention Harley and chopper in the same paragraph, I'm gonna need to see some ape hangers lol. ( Nice bikes BTW )

Glad to see your ok, my wife said that shovels should be outlawed.

Brutal winter here, haven't seen this much snow since the '90's.

The water line at my buddy's place is a few feet below the bench. I think we're at the highest level it's going to get.

Another friend was evacuated from a bed & breakfast he's been renting...because his house caught fire last August and he set up temporary shop while it's being repaired. That's some pretty bad luck, burned out and now flooded out.

Driveway is clear. A lot of shoveling. I have a 21" Ariens blower at the other place, too heavy to lift into truck by myself.
At least I'm not worried about water in my living room like some guys are right now.

I lent out 6 submersible pumps, complements of my former employer, a multimillion dollar corporation who doesn't miss them. Lol.

There is a 5 mile long ice jam on the Allegheny River right now, every tributary is backed up and flooding. And it's going up to 60° Monday.

Did I say I like living on a hill?
