My Dad is elderly, why wouldn't he be--I am myself, but he is beginning to lose it mentally. So, we--husband, son and I, are moving into my ancestral home to live with Dad. It is an interesting experience. My great grandfather and great great grandfather built this house in 1870 and the family has lived there continually since. Before that the family lived in another house on the same property which was moved and joined to the "new" house. That was torn down in 1960s because it was in such sorry condition. I hated to see it go and knowing what I do now would have probably insisted on trying to save it. As I go about the house cleaning and getting things moved around to make way for 3 more packrats I am finding mementos of my childhood and wonder if I think I can go back. I tell my 14 yo son of all the wonderful things to do there--he is less than impressed. All he is concerned about is what's on cable and his computer access. So, wish me luck. If things go as I hope they will we will be meeting Ralph this weekend and he may get to see this wonder of Vermont architecture.

No petite fors and pink lemonade here; this is hard hat UsA ,New York dressed in a terrifying collection of saftey harness; muscle shirts, tatoos , utility belts and alot of neck gold coming from every nationality imaginable.

So my french crew ; a hearty group of bad boy romeos fit like an old shoe, in as well they work hard and are not afraid of anybody or anything.. There are 3 grills going with bare chested brawny youth in American flag do rags and bandolier utility belts turning mountains of chicken ,"brats" and "burglers" as Mick Jager belts out "You can't always get what you want" The men laugh like pirates and dance with one another cradeling cold beverages waving burgers as they go from ad hoc dice games , pitched cards,and feats of strength on this sun blasted heliocopter pad over a thousand feat in the air. Lost is the geenteel conversation of the conservator and architect.The air is now peppered with bravado and the colorfull lexicon of tough guys , dead end kids, and ex cons as they brawl over pots of cash from their crap games and the side bets from arm wrestling ,and pitched cards. The temperature climbs again to 97 deg ; and the view is a spectacular sweep of all of lower Manhattan .Boats and ferrys ply the East ad Huson rivers. Our massive steel out-riggers bristle the sides of the building like so many cannon on a galleon;which create pockets of welcomed shade. Suddenly an an inpromtu game of football erupts with a rolled shirt as the ball and everyone joined in . With so many bare chested tatooed men in head scarfs dodging and running about the deck as grills smoking "brats" in full blast attracted the instant attention of police and military heliocopters who came in to closely monitor the situation with their sniper crews . Our men ;patriotic to the core ; promptly unveiled a large american flag they had brought for the occaison..

The school where I do the bulk of my work is not an old place but there is one rather historic building which they chose not to keep in very good repair I can't seem to interest them in doing so. Money mostly, it is faculty housing, not student related so the parents don't see it. Whenever any work is done, for instance this summer a new floor was put in dining room, I always ask those who install what the proper cleaning and maintenance should be. Most times they don't know but can usually get me some pamphlet from the mfgr. We try but if the ones doing the work have no clue how can we maintain?

I came across one the other day. The flooring was installed in a 1920s colonial revival home as part of a high-end 1960s Modern style interior renovation. The leather is 3/8" thick sole leather, in 3"x9" "tiles" (the owner managed a shoe factory), and is in good condition with the "top grain" still mostly intact. The past maintenance routine for the flooring is unknown (probably a lot of loving care from the owner who obviously knew his leathers and loved his floors). Dispite knowing a little about leather (apprenticed to an old-time harnessmaker for a year and a half when I was a kid in Nebraska) I'm at a loss to make a solid recommendation for the maintenance of leather flooring.

I won't have time this trip to get over to Paris, but I'll try and call Jean anyway. We're actually running a one day masonry cleaning seminar in Sydney on 5 August - and the boys from FG in Melbourne are supposedly coming up to do a demonstration. Don't know whether I'll get down to the Royal Guardsmen, but Ralph can remain assured that I'm avoiding the boiled cardboard. IMHO the majority of that stuff comes from the fastfood chains (didn't they originate in the US of A?). Thus far I've had some good Indian, some very average pasta, some great (Australian) home cooking, and hopefully tomorrow night some good Thai. Most importantly, I've made it to the first three nights of the BBC Prom concerts ... thus partially fulfilling a long-held dream (the other part is the Last Night of course). It has been great to stand in the Arena at the Royal Albert Hall amongst all these other people and listen to fantastic music from orchestras and conductors that previously had just been oft-heard names on the radio or recordings. Sir Charles Mackerras, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, BBC Symphony, BBC Philharmonic ... Would love to get up to the ceiling of the RAH to see the repair works they're doing to the roof at the moment ... maybe I should make some phonecalls! They've got an amazing mobile scaffold supported from two permanent monorails they've put in place ... really impressive. Oh, and it has been great weather. I left Sydney after three weeks of clear blue skies ... and the past eight days here in London have been much the same. Rain is forecast tomorrow, but it has been pretty wonderful. Sat in the park yesterday afternoon watching a colleague's one year old son running around ... then played Aussie Rules with a gridiron ball and scared all those round ball enthusiasts away!!

Ruth Ruth, You REALLY know how to hurt a guy. Maybe I should move in with your son, husband and father, and send you down to Joisey to hone Mrs. Ralph's torture skills. Not that she needs it. I already have plenty of tools that I didn't know existed, or that I needed them, until I saw them. Not that I couldn't use a few more, though.

Empty cabs ;like fireflys in a dirty fog; jitterbug over pot holes and nibbling at shadows that scurry east to West near the famous cross roads. Their tired tire treads pull at the sticky asphalt delivering a cadence of guttural "clicks" to the tires movement as they cruise Park and Madison Its hot; at 1 am on a weekday ;most people drift over to the west side where the resturants ; diners and clubs tend to stay open longer; as do the hookers , grifters and street people who follow like floatsum off a barge. Not me; I head for a little bistro off Grand Central where the bartender suffers from the gift of sports gab and a case of the heavy pour. We worked hard on our stone tonight and got alot done . The card game at 11 pm break went well too ; I took a "Grant and a "jefferson " with three "old men" in seven card draw ;We played atop the Old Pan Am by the lights of our rigs "Read and weep " .... I answered ; when I was called on my cards . The union steward who held 3 tens was taciturn; ...a lighting storm reflected from far off on Brooklyns breezy point; I could see it in his eyes. The cash felt good in the pocket ; the two notes giggled like kissing cousins under blankets as I steer clear the taxis towards the bistro. The bartender is a friend of mine; we talk British Open and the demise of the Sox (red sox ) by the Yankees. I order a Ceaser; and he pours me a large glass of chilled Graves. The Graves cuts the nights heat like a knife. Like a rouge wave the second taste crashes the dust of the gates at the back of the palate and sets them ardrift in a bite of freshness. We contemplate Elles victory at Muirfield in The Open ; and the tragic performance of Sox pitching up in the Bronx.The wine is heady; and sooths the beast of frustration of a Sox fan in New York The only other patron on this gloomy night is an old Roue' who tottered in with an ancient overnight bag wearing a Red Book suit with matching hat from the salvation army. She sits at a table facing the street and staring to the night. Her skin is parchment white and is drawn tight over cracked lips ; slashed broadly with cosmetic red. Pancake rouge settles round and clownlike on her cheeks as she orders her a glass through watery blue eyes. Its odd to see the old at this hour in this city . They wander the streets as if in a time warp; the vibrantcy of the city dismisses them like so much passing litter.You wonder where they go ; and who cares for them. I pay for her glass; and she smiles at us with parched lips and stained teeth as she raises it to our health. Her watery blue eyes clearly thankfull for some small communal kindness from strangers. We resume our dialouge as the smokey fog closes in; she stares off into it as a distant mirror to some by gone age when her blood was young and the only stares she got were for her stylish poise and good looks With memory and body fading ; they hold on to the physical in bizzare ways appearing like wreckage with bows tied atop them. Broadway bijous (Jewles) waiting for trains that never come; talking to people long gone. The weather outside is cruel; the distant storm opens up a cloud burst;pouring hard ; I turn towards the lady and discover she has gone . Only her empty glass suggesting her presnce. The porter mops up as its time to close..I stare vacantly into the empty streets and pouring gloom..not a cab to be seen ....I stare way up to Grand Central and see a lone shadow with suit case hobbling unsteady to its golden light.

Dear Sir, I have been instructed by my colleague to look for a foreign partner who can assist us to execute an urgent business involving huge profit and international cooperation. We are interested in the importation of Solar Panels, Agricultural equipment and Computer accessories from overseas and we need a foreign partner who can assist us with a bank account for the transfer of ($15 million US dollars). We have resolved that 20% will be your commission for nominating a new bank account and a company that will receive this fund on our behalf and any other assistance you may give in this deal. 10% of the entire sum has been mapped out to settle any outstanding expenses we may incur. In the cause on this funds transfer, while 70% of our share will be used for the importation. My colleagues and I are civil servants and as members of the contract review panel. It is against the (code of conduct bureau) for us to operate a foreign account; hence we are soliciting your firm support. We can finalize the transaction in ten working days. If this deal is accepted please respond to us via e-mail to enable us provide you with the detailed modalities for the successful completion of the project.

However, history has shown us thus far that solar panels are not great investments, and hence my alter ego (of which there are many, I hasten to assure you) has clearly failed to appreciate the most important aspect of business. I wish him the best of luck, because he will probably need it, and I wish you all the best of fortune, which will probably be achieved by avoiding opportunities which come uncanvassed via the mass media.

Michael, I love your writing. The smoke reminds me of the bushfires in Sydney 18 months ago. Horrendous hazes over the harbour; container ships disappearing from view as they slid under the bridge; the city buildings gone as if the world had suddenly split in two; everything takes on a new perspective in that mysterious light. The great English writers really knew how to weave spells with the London fogs ... now we have to wait for fires to bring some of that magic into our lives.

Empty cabs ;like fireflys in a dirty fog; jitterbug over pot holes and nibbling at shadows that scurry east to West near the famous cross roads. Their tired tire treads pull at the sticky asphalt delivering a cadence of guttural "clicks" to the tires movement as they cruise Park and Madison Its hot; at 1 am on a weekday ;most people drift over to the west side where the resturants ; diners and clubs tend to stay open longer; as do the hookers , grifters and street people who follow like floatsum off a barge. Not me; I head for a little bistro off Grand Central where the bartender suffers from the gift of sports gab and a case of the heavy pour. We worked hard on our stone tonight and got alot done . The card game at 11 pm break went well too ; I took a "Grant and a "jefferson " with three "old men" in seven card draw ;We played atop the Old Pan Am by the lights of our rigs "Read and weep " .... I answered ; when I was called on my cards . The union steward who held 3 tens was taciturn; ...a lighting storm reflected from far off on Brooklyns breezy point; I could see it in his eyes. The cash felt good in the pocket ; the two notes giggled like kissing cousins under blankets as I steer clear the taxis towards the bistro. The bartender is a friend of mine; we talk British Open and the demise of the Sox (red sox ) by the Yankees. I order a Ceaser; and he pours me a large glass of chilled Graves. The Graves cuts the nights heat like a knife. Like a rouge wave the second taste crashes the dust of the gates at the back of the palate and sets them ardrift in a bite of freshness. We contemplate Elles victory at Muirfield in The Open ; and the tragic performance of Sox pitching up in the Bronx.The wine is heady; and sooths the beast of frustration of a Sox fan in New York The only other patron on this gloomy night is an old Roue' who tottered in with an ancient overnight bag wearing a Red Book suit with matching hat from the salvation army. She sits at a table facing the street and staring to the night. Her skin is parchment white and is drawn tight over cracked lips ; slashed broadly with cosmetic red. Pancake rouge settles round and clownlike on her cheeks as she orders her a glass through watery blue eyes. Its odd to see the old at this hour in this city . They wander the streets as if in a time warp; the vibrantcy of the city dismisses them like so much passing litter.You wonder where they go ; and who cares for them. I pay for her glass; and she smiles at us with parched lips and stained teeth as she raises it to our health. Her watery blue eyes clearly thankfull for some small communal kindness from strangers. We resume our dialouge as the smokey fog closes in; she stares off into it as a distant mirror to some by gone age when her blood was young and the only stares she got were for her stylish poise and good looks With memory and body fading ; they hold on to the physical in bizzare ways appearing like wreckage with bows tied atop them. Broadway bijous (Jewles) waiting for trains that never come; talking to people long gone. The weather outside is cruel; the distant storm opens up a cloud burst;pouring hard ; I turn towards the lady and discover she has gone . Only her empty glass suggesting her presnce. The porter mops up as its time to close..I stare vacantly into the empty streets and pouring gloom..not a cab to be seen ....I stare way up to Grand Central and see a lone shadow with suit case hobbling unsteady to its golden light.

I have forgotten: do you burn out the pum= p if its 110 and you plug it into a 220 outlet, or do you burn it out if you have a 220 pump and you plug it into 110? Or both? Sign me, Third Rail< Depending on the nature of the device, 220 devices run on 110 will either= run at 1/2 speed or not at all. You may try out the pump and see if it works well enough to use. Electronic devices which convert the AC input t= o DC with an internal transformer probably won't do anything, but if they work at all, they are probably OK. = The danger is in plugging 110 devices into 220 where the higher voltage will cause damage. Voltage converters cut the higher voltage to lower. Mo= st of them are too wimpy to use with anything that takes a lot of power. I don't know how well it works turning 110 into 220. It would I think doubl= e the amperage demand (Ohm's law). Computers now usually have dual voltage capability built in and only need the appropriate cord with plug for the country you are in. As they all use one of two kinds of attachment to the= power supply, any electronics store could sell you one. 12 years ago, I h= ad an old laptop which did not have a dual voltage power supply, and my trav= el converter failed while in Egypt, passing 220 volts back to the computer. Its power supply burned out but I didn't know that until the battery died= . Even then I did not attribute it to the travel converter. I had assumed that a properly designed converter would stop passing current if it faile= d. If you use a converter which is not up to the demand, however, it may jus= t give up and let all the juice go through. The dual voltage supplies used = in most computers now (saving the manufacturers from having to make differen= t models for us than for most of the world) simply block voltage greater th= an 110 from going through, then convert the 110 to their operating DC voltag= e (usually 12). Consumer electronics such as radios, TVs, stereos, are usually not dual voltage although these are available. Since there are usually other regional differences as well (radio frquencies, TV scanning= systems) presumably the mfgrs don't find it cost-effective. = Sign me, Not Off My Trolley -- To terminate puerile preservation prattling among pals and the uncoffee-ed, or to change your settings, go to: <http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/bullamanka-pinheads.html> ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 27 Jul 2002 11:27:51 -0400 Reply-To: "Darling, all I want is that you should be a pinhead -- Arlene Croce" <[log in to unmask]> Sender: "Darling, all I want is that you should be a pinhead -- Arlene Croce" <[log in to unmask]> From: deb bledsoe <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Yeah yeah yeah ... nice try, david MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0231_01C23560.A47B1EE0" This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0231_01C23560.A47B1EE0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Mary Krugman=20 Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 10:17 PM Subject: Re: Yeah yeah yeah ... nice try, david In a message dated 7/25/2002 5:27:56 PM Eastern Daylight Time, = [log in to unmask] writes:=20 You would be wise to provide refreshments at this meeting.=20 Yeah yeah yeah.

It makes a beautiful wood floor and is most often found in utilitarian rooms like kitchens and attics. I love the look but the splinters are nasty. I suggest that you try sanding an area and see what happens. I have always had success even when the floor looked bad. Let us know how it works out!

I have a situation here with the Uncle's parlour floor that I have a question about. It is some type of pine or fir, kind of orange colored, and dates to the 1870's. It had something over it at some point, like linoleum or something, and/or it was painted brown, but nothing is left but a residual bit of gunk, and most of that is worn away in the traffic areas, and the floor is splintering. The wood is all "dried out", even in this humidity. I doubt I could even sand it, at this point. The surface comes up in big splinters when I just walk across it in socks in a lot of places. I want to refinish it in some way that is very low maintenance, but my only experience with wood floors has been with jobs where the flooring itself was still in real good shape and just needed sanding etc, and then we cleaned up stains, matched patches for old register cutouts, and put down multiple coats of polyurethane. Nothing complicated. Where should I look for information to get started on deciding a course of action? deb -- To terminate puerile preservation prattling among pals and the uncoffee-ed, or to change your settings, go to: <http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/bullamanka-pinheads.html> ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2002 12:42:26 EDT Reply-To: "Darling, all I want is that you should be a pinhead -- Arlene Croce" <[log in to unmask]> Sender: "Darling, all I want is that you should be a pinhead -- Arlene Croce" <[log in to unmask]> From: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Wow, cutting it kind of fine now, aren't we...

The Pan Am had been rough for me ; there were alot of crass micro managers there who didn't give a crap about restoration plus they thought they owned you. I bristled up against them like a porcupine to a maundering bear...it wasn't pretty Id come home at night worn out from fighting and the double dealing of palace politics that made Machivelli look like Clara Barton.. ..Doug was there; and over refreshment he would tell me about Enron; as capo du tuti capo of the New York office... he hadn't an idea about what was going on in Texas ; like me he had no uncles or "beards" in the Texas office ; his communication was icy....he felt out of the loop ..and it was getting worse.. He just didn't understand; he would say he was delivering for them yet he was getting iced .We both took our jobs personally Many a late summer and early sept night passed like this until 911 when we saw the incoming planes over the Pan Am; And as the towers collapsed the world changed ...so did the infrastructure of Enron begin its list to starboard. . Doug said he spent the nest few months literally re arranging the deck chairs in futile attempts of unexplained directives from Texas. When the great ship finally went down . .. Doug lost $250,000 in retirement; unlike older employees he is now back on his feet doing investment banking .

What options can be considered aside from skinning a brick building if it is determined during an otherwise logical process of grinding and tuckpointing , that the mortar beyond the 3/4" deep joint is dead, and actually all the mortar of the backup masonry is quite finished (soft, powdery, no bond, nice continuous sandy stream when tapped)? In the areas of distress - displaced brick at step cracks, cracked bricks, loose bricks, settled arches, the brick is called for rebuild which will now include multi-wythe reconstruction. At what point do I stop - If I go until sound mortar is found, the building will be gone. So, the next question is if the exterior wythe is not showing distress, the previously pointed mortar is intact, yet I can assume everything behind it is 'dead', - do I bother with grinding and pointing if it is visually 'not broken,' should I consider consolidating the backup with something injectable, or can I just leave it as is?

First as usual a few questions cause I am not sure I want to suggest anything less than rebuilding but know that that is not what you are really looking for I will take a poke at something less than that to start... What type of structure is it? (brick with wood framed floors?) How thick are the walls? (3-wythe?) How tall? (6-stories or less?) What kind of forces do you realistically expect on the facade? Could you expect a dry laid back-up wall with 1-inch of the outer brick mortared in place be expected to stand up? What caused the deterioration? That's enough for now........

Hello, here is a new topic of discussion. What options can be considered aside from skinning a brick building if it is determined during an otherwise logical process of grinding and tuckpointing , that the mortar beyond the 3/4" deep joint is dead, and actually all the mortar of the backup masonry is quite finished (soft, powdery, no bond, nice continuous sandy stream when tapped)? In the areas of distress - displaced brick at step cracks, cracked bricks, loose bricks, settled arches, the brick is called for rebuild which will now include multi-wythe reconstruction. At what point do I stop - If I go until sound mortar is found, the building will be gone. So, the next question is if the exterior wythe is not showing distress, the previously pointed mortar is intact, yet I can assume everything behind it is 'dead', - do I bother with grinding and pointing if it is visually 'not broken,' should I consider consolidating the backup with something injectable, or can I just leave it as is?

You may be able to do some sort of cutting and grout injection on a piecemeal basis until it's all done; you'd have to talk to a engineer and/or one of the grout manufacturers to see whether it's even doable. It would be wise to do sample areas using various methods, to establish whether each option is doable, what it will cost, and whether the results are satisfactory. Under no circumstances should you leave your client with a building consisting of dead mortar without making it clear in writing that this is the situation, and that you cannot be responsible for the condition and specifically the structural stability of the building in its current condition. You need to spell out the repair options and associated costs and let (i.e., force) him to decide how to proceed. Let us know how this works out. Sounds like a potentially great horror story.
