RT FAN Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I broker US Treasuries & have been doing so since the early 90's. 30+ years on Wall Street, the Treasury market is pretty much all I know.

I built this a few weeks ago….photo 17.jpg hey now... what type mortar do you have to use if you are dealing with high heat like that so it does not crack longer term? All the interior masonry is built with fireproof mortar call Fireclay or Airset. The exterior in the pic is brown colored mortar. The deck is actually colored/stamped concrete with a wood pattern.

Thanks…the only code requirement around here for a freestanding fireplace is the footer depth. Attached to a house requires height codes also. The wind can have an affect in how well an outside fireplace works. I always make the firebox area taller on an exterior unit, less chance of puffing smoke out of the front.

cyto Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Cytotechnologist/molecular biologist, look at cell samples in a microscope and write a diagnosis. Samples from all over the body but a lot of Pap smears. The previous discussion on gynecology reminded me of my school days when watching a rather graphic film on how to collect a Pap smear. At the conclusion one of my female classmates turned to me and said: "Aren't you glad you are not a woman?" I replied: "No, I am glad I am not a Gynecologist" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 20 years of sawmill work, about 15 years as an RN before Dr. told me I can't work no more. That was last year. So now I just try to avoid migraines, or at least to reduce them. My wife has an adult care home in which the residents live with us. Kind of like having an extended family.
