Perforated metal 32 gauge; made by 1/8 " holes with buck shot ....
.Pirate will be performing said test ; first with the 410 then with
the black powder dbl barrel Belgian before upping the ante and
 migrating to the 12 ga.....wife will be kept in the dark until test passes
or husband will be kept in the dark longer depending on the success of pin
head specs

Skool house is 1940 gov't spec (Mo-dern ? ).....heavy Poured concrete outer
walls
heavy plaster on lath interior walls
7 class rooms ; 6 large 10 ft windows with 24 panes of glass in  ea
Rooms are 12 ft high ; picture frame molding seperates the wall space at
about 8ft.
white washed the walls with my own putty mix and colors
 T&G oak  floor with 21/2 "leafs in rooms and auditorium
4 large main baths (boys and girls) have converted one into a steam bath so I
can walk around in my toga and oak laurel.

Hallways -poured concrete floor  hallways walls- the same
The concrete floors which Im leaning towards to  acid stain; but it has a
nice old polished green concrete look  that is worth considering
I did  acid stained the steam bath (Roman bronze)  and  matte sealed it
Auditorium 80x 40 with dropped ceiling in wood (at 11ft 6) to hold ceiling
tile
plain jane Stage 25x18  with same at 11ft .6"
Wife looking to heat and cool with in ground system;
I like the old daze so Im handing out the fans .....Next month Im putting in
my shop 40x60 open air with two secured rooms ; open air to move fork lifts
around in and out

The school building is U shaped with nice old trees and planting s from the
40's ; the auditorium is at the bottom  of the U but faces the main road and
circular drive.
Building is very rural and sits on 6 acres with its own well of exceptional
water
and 2  acres of vegie garden has a swimming creek nearby

Future plans are to cut doors from auditorium to large outdoor deck(Wife
wants "jib"
doors ) then from deck to walk down to a landscape pool that will run  the
length of the building walls and beyond into gardens and old growth trees.

Drifted down to the Delta last night ; seems the wife got a gig doing an
addition to the Delta Blues Museum ;and as part of the perks she 's got 15 hrs in
a recording studio in Clarksdale caterwauling blues.
part of the addition  includes restoring log cabin whre Muddy was born)..I

It was foggy out on the delta last night; pea soup....so when you look out
the car window you see unatural shadows and ghostly shapes race across the land.
   Nobody is out at this hour ; the little juke joints  loom through the dark
sea like some garish lite time  capsule; tin roofed and fly blown they beckon
like sirens on coastal rocks ; promising salvation from the dark of the
night.
Inside however dey is serving up Cajun duck gumbo, tammales, .$2 beers and
blues
walking and drivin., crying and cussing  Thanks Py ....
