Summers had been successful in having slips of paper substituted for the chips of wood that had been used for generations. Because so much of the ritual had been forgotten or discarded, Mr. Summers had stirred the papers thoroughly with his hand. Martin and his oldest son, Baxter, held the black box securely on the stool until Mr. The black box grew shabbier each year by now it was no longer completely black but splintered badly along one side to show the original wood color, and in some places faded or stained. Summers began talking again about a new box, but every year the subject was allowed to fade off without anything’s being done. There was a story that the present box had been made with some pieces of the box that had preceded it, the one that had been constructed when the first people settled down to make a village here. Summers spoke frequently to the villagers about making a new box, but no one liked to upset even as much tradition as was represented by the black box. The original paraphernalia for the lottery had been lost long ago, and the black box now resting on the stool had been put into use even before Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, was born. ![]() Martin and his oldest son, Baxter, came forward to hold the box steady on the stool while Mr. Summers said, “Some of you fellows want to give me a hand?,” there was a hesitation before two men, Mr. ![]() The villagers kept their distance, leaving a space between themselves and the stool, and when Mr. Graves, followed him, carrying a three-legged stool, and the stool was put in the center of the square and Mr. When he arrived in the square, carrying the black wooden box, there was a murmur of conversation among the villagers, and he waved and called, “Little late today, folks.” The postmaster, Mr. He was a round-faced, jovial man and he ran the coal business, and people were sorry for him, because he had no children and his wife was a scold.

Bobby Martin ducked under his mother’s grasping hand and ran, laughing, back to the pile of stones. Soon the women, standing by their husbands, began to call to their children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be called four or five times. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed. Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. ![]() The girls stood aside, talking among themselves, looking over their shoulders at the boys, and the very small children rolled in the dust or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters.

The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took only about two hours, so it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner. The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() If the shading remains, I'm going to rule it as the marble absorbing dye from the grout. If the shading fades, I'm going to conclude it is water absorption from the wet grout through the sides of the tiles which are not sealed (to allow for grout installation). I have scraped out all the grout and am currently waiting to see what happens to these marks. I only did a 6 foot section before I realized what was going on. and I immediately got a "picture - frame" effect where the outside of my gorgeous and understated white tiles became deeply shadowed all around the edges. Tile with spacing lugs can be stacked on top of one another. Small, ceramic tile are OK with tight grout lines. Today, I grouted with Platinum unsanded grout. The minimum grout line is 1/16 (2mm) wide. I used white thinset, I let it cure for 6 weeks then sealed it twice with 511 sealer and it looks absolutely stunning. /rebates/2fn2fbuying-guide2fchoosing-grout-and-mortar&252fn252fbuying-guide252fchoosing-grout-and-mortar26tc3dbing-&idlowes&namelowes&ra3. I have done 9 tile jobs to date including two other backsplashes but this was my first go around with marble. Sanding and painting followed as well as a furious round of caulking.I found this thread because I just personally installed an Asian Statuary white marble tile for my kitchen backsplash. Now that my tile was haze free, I had to seal it again with that green bottle of goodness up above, as well as address the angry spots on the drywall. Leaving it SO HAPPY! (Who knew tiling was such an emotional situation?) The difference is unreal. You basically spray it on as a foam and miraculously, 30 seconds later, using a microfiber cloth, you wipe it AND the grout haze off of your marble. Lift the excess cleaner with a mop, then rinse the surface with clean water. For example, the white marble tile color grout looks like a classic marble slab. Use a nylon scrub pad to swirl the cleaner over the surface and loosen the grout haze. Pairing grout colors with a marble tile make a bit of an impact on a marble tile’s looks. The Grout colors for marble tiles are classic and on-trend right. After some snooping around on the interwebs, I found this miracle stuff: The black grout color is a modern farmhouse look at the white tile. It is a 4 step process where a vendor will remove part of the existing grout, fill it with marble gum floor grout glue, grind the tiles to the same level and apply a layering of wax before polish/buffing to create a glossy marble-like finish. Water will not cut it, and normal grout haze remover will leave it scratched to all get out. This is a process which converts normal flooring tiles into a glossy marble-like finish. Anytime you tile and grout, a mysterious grout-y haze will be left behind. If your marble tile is stained by an organic material, such as food, coffee, or tea, hydrogen peroxide is usually the most effective. Sealing marble protects it from stains caused by dirt or liquids that can penetrate the grout. It will scratch the ISH out of your marble and you'll be sad.īut how to address the grout haze? Ahhh haze. Yes, marble tile should be sealed before grouting. REGROUTING ONLY Commonly used as a grout filler, cementitious grout absorbs dirt and. Tip #2: don't try to use a normal grout haze remover product. Homogeneous tiles are a popular flooring alternative to marble and vinyl. Wet your fingertip and smooth the caulked line (Image 2), wiping excess off caulk on a paper towel. While applying even pressure, slowly move caulk gun along seam, leaving a line of caulk (Image 1). With your finger, apply the paste to the grout stripes. ![]() However, Vinegar is harmful to some natural stones such as marble. These acidic cleaners work with all grout colors. Mix 4 parts baking soda with 2-part water to make a thick paste. ![]() Position tip in the gap between countertop and tile. Make a paste of baking soda and toilet water. If you don't seal, the grout will discolor your marble and you'll be angry. Load caulk into caulking gun and cut off the tip at a slight angle. Do this by using a tile sponge, a roller, or simply wipe the tiles with a coat of sealant and allow to dry for 24 hours. Mixing grout in a bucket (Image credit: Shutterstock) Once you’ve chosen the grout color to suit your space, pour a little water in a bucket before. Namely, seal that stuff once you've got it up on the walls PRIOR to grouting. Apply a tile sealant over the surface of your tiles if they have become porous so the grout does not sink underneath the surface when regrouting your tile.

The question is, how does it connect solidly into the car’s frame? Just like the back door, ball joints are used to attach this section of the car’s outer paneling. Below the fin and break lights at the back, the car’s body tapers down toward the really large tail light. Speaking of main structure, on the sides of the vehicle at back are some slopes tilted at a very odd angle. The end result is a way to make angled hinges without angling a whole section of the main structure. In fact, the door itself places the ball-joints at more of an angle. The tilt of these ball-joints doesn’t seem to matter all that much. ![]() The answer to this problem turns out to be the aforementioned small ball-joints.Īs long as you have two sockets in a row that are open in the same direction – in this case left and right – then you automatically can form an angled door hinge. Unfortunately, there’s just not enough room for that type of solution here. Ordinarily, we’d have to rely on a solution that the angles of standard LEGO hinges provide. It is set at an odd angle that naturally won’t sit flush. However, the Ecto-1 gives us two great uses for these handy little pieces.įirst up is the back door of the car. Having been popularized by LEGO Mixels, small ball-joints have been associated with action figure style posing rather than mundane connection points. Instead, they took up the challenge and managed to make it all work using ball-joints. LEGO could have made a few specialty curved parts and call it a day, but they didn’t. The back of the car is especially notable with its tapered body, fins, and curved back windows. BALL JOINT MOUNTING & HINGE WORKĪs you can see, on the pictures and in the video above, the Ecto-1 features some rather challenging angles. So, to see if you’ll want to rush out and get it, let’s take a look at some of the more interesting building techniques. I expect that the Ecto-1 will be one of those sets that will go out of stock within the first couple of days. ![]() In the video below, I will show you the various play-features and functions of the Ecto-1, and also share some more of my general thoughts on the set. Though with over 2,300 pieces, there are areas of the model that can be a tad challenging, even for experienced fans. This does make the build a bit more accessible for novice builders. The Ecto-1 also features quite a few stickers (all the various warning labels and rust spots are stickers), although it’s worth noting that the bricks with the Ghostbusters logo are all printed, as are some of the more basic gauges and control panels inside the car.Īs far as the building experience, the set is broken down into 12 numbered bags with one un-numbered bag. I must admit, this set makes me want to really see the new film! Among the features are moving instruments on the roof, a surprise release ghost trap, and a pop-out swiveling seat complete with proton pack!Īs for features fans may not be happy with, one is that you don’t get any minifigures with this set, unlike so many other models done in the Ultimate Collector Series style. This is because the vehicle is based on the upcoming Ghostbusters: Afterlife film. Speaking of special features, the #10274 LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 comes with some functions that I have never seen in an Ecto-1 before. (You can read my review of the Batmobile via the link at the end of this post.) ![]() First of all, because these two vehicles are much larger than the typical LEGO Creator expert vehicles, they have plenty of room for some extra special features. Those who have built the #76139 LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile released last year will have some idea what to expect from the Ecto-1. Below, we will discuss the general features of the set, and then also discuss some of the interesting building techniques and play-features. This is reflected by the 18+ age category printed on the box, as well as the box art. So, when I heard LEGO was going to release a large version of the Ecto-1 and that I would get my hands on an early review copy, well let’s just say, this has been the hardest thing to keep under wraps.Īs you can read in the press-release that was published yesterday, the #10274 LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1, is made specifically for adult LEGO fans. I may have missed one of the LEGO Dimensions Ghostbusters sets, but I made sure to get at least all the major releases.
