Deciding between blown-in or spray foam attic insulation
I live in a 1945 brick colonial in Northern Virginia. As soon as the temps go down, you can really feel the cold in our upstairs. We've started looking into improving the attic insulation and now I'm totally confused. This house is small with minimal storage space. The attic is floored and is one of our main storage spaces, and there is already insulated under the attic floorboards, but it is only about 5-6 inches high. Best guess is that our current R-value is around 10.
We've had a few insulation companies give us estimates. The main question is how do we keep the storage space and raise the R-value of the insulation???
One way seems to be to make the attic a conditioned space and spray foam along the slope. The attic will then be conditioned and completely closed and unvented (oh yeah, old home with just one vent at one end and an attic fan at the other. No soffits or ridge vents).
The other alternative we've gotten is to blow in insulation to build up the insulation around the edges of the attic that are not floored in and then just leave the floored area as it is.
The price difference is significant. Spray foaming is 3x the blown in. But what about the attic being unvented? What about air sealing? The spray foam guy explicitly included air sealing in the estimate and discussed it as an issue.
At this point we don't know how to make a decision. Make the attic a conditioned space w/spray foam or just improve what insulation we can?
Any advice greatly appreciated!!!!
If money were no object, I would get the sprayed-in. But, since money is tight for me right now, I have been recently looking into the price of adding more blown-in cellulose. At Home Depot you get a free blower rental with 20 bags, which would cost around $200. I would say spring for the $200 this winter and blow in more insulation, and see how effective it is. You would probably at LEAST get your $200 back in reduced heating bills.
But, if it doesn't do much, next year get the spray foam.

It seems to me that you should answer two questions. Do you want conditioned space in your attic? How much money are you willing to spend?
Our story: In our 1/2 story remodel we have conditioned living space. It had always been living space (at least for 70 or more years of our home's 97 years). During the depression there had been vermiculite in the space above the ceiling. In the 1950's parts of it got fiberglass bats in the space above the ceiling. (It had always been finished like an after thought, pressboard walls, and even cardboard over 1xs during the depression!) When we gutted the poorly finished space, we decided to have cathedral or loft type ceilings. Our roof does not have any vented soffits, nor a ridge vent either, so we had to have spray foam insulation in order to do the cathedral ceilings and have some kind of insulation. It did cost a small fortune (in our estimation), but it is highly effective. Between that and foam backed roof sheathing we have a cold deck roof. Unless the snow load is wet/heavy, we don't have to shovel it; the entire roof melts evenly with virtually zero icicles and no ice dams. The 1/2 story space needs very little heat, there is more sound proofing to the outside than before, and this will sound odd, but the foam literally glues your house together. Kind of hard to describe. Our space has been inspected by structural engineers, don't worry! But before the foam was sprayed you'd arrive at the top of the stairs and walking in certain spots created "creaking". After the foam was installed, no more creaking. We are very satisfied with spray foam. YMMV
Others who will post here clearly prefer blown in cellulose. Since I have no experience with that type of insulation, I hope they will post about it. Hope you get the information you need and end up with a space that meets your needs.

Katy Perry's Promotional Truck Hit By Drunk Driver
The gold truck that Katy Perry hired to promote her upcoming album, 'Prism,' was hit by a drunk semi-truck driver.
The gold truck that Katy Perry hired to promote her upcoming album, 'Prism,' was hit by a drunk semi-truck driver.
That cat lover Katy Perry has dropped the third teaser from her new single 'ROAR,' out Aug. 12. While the first saw her ignite her 'California Gurl' image and its wig, and the second found her laying that persona to rest at a funeral, Perry isn't even in this clip. But some music is!
This teaser, dubbed 'From a Meow to a Roar,' features a fluffy, cranky and curious white cat who
Who needs a velvet Elvis painting when you can have a gold-coated Katy Perry 'Prism' semi traveling across this great nation of ours announcing the singer's new album? Right?
Both Katy Perry and her ex husband, comedian Russell Brand, are hard at work promoting their respective projects. While Perry is working on shilling the first single, 'Roar,' from her upcoming album 'Prism,' Brand is taking his comedy on tour -- and he has some jokes about their marriage that may not sit well with the singer.
Katy Perry will release her third fragrance, Killer Queen, this year.
Katy Perry might normally spend two hours putting on makeup, but she's rocking a classic and clean look for the new cover of Elle UK.
Katy Perry is promoting 'Smurfs 2,' in which she reprised her not-exactly-Oscar-baiting role of Smurfette. As a result, she's been prancing (and speeding in a new Maserati) all around in blue to talk about how she got the gig, and her explanation on 'The Tonight Show' was actually pretty surprising!
This year's 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival lineup has been announced -- and if you're smart, you're already booking your ticket and hotel room for Vegas on Sept. 20-21!
What the what? These two lovebirds are moving at lightning speed!
Not only have Katy Perry and John Mayer reunited (and it feels so good!), but there are now reports circulating that they are moving in together. *Gasp!*
Katy Perry is gonna wash those legal problems right outta her hair. The pop diva settled her lawsuit with British hair care line GHD. The two sides were embroiled in a dispute over the singer's claim that the company verbally agreed to extend her contract. It became a real "he said, she said" headache for both sides.
Now that Katy Perry and John Mayer are back on again, the 'Fireworks' songstress is laying down some ground rules for the 'Paper Doll' singer-songwriter. If he wants to date Perry again, he's got to follow some dang guidelines!
Katy Perry is a relatively new celeb, having achieved her massive measure of fame in the past five years or so. But that isn't stopping the council (that decides who gets a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame) from giving Perry her own! The singer has been confirmed as a future recipient of a star.

PHOTOS OF THE DAY: Liver Transplants
In this photo taken Feb. 12, 2011, Matthew Rosiello, 21, is aided by his mother Randy as she checks his surgically placed catheter at their home in New York. Matthew is waiting for a liver transplant and is connected to port-a cath throughout the day. Soon after telling him it was time for a liver transplant, doctors gave Matthew more tough news: he wasn't likely to get one any time soon in his home state of New York. Consider traveling to Ohio, they advised, where the wait's a lot shorter. (AP Photo/Craig Ruttle)

Randy Rosiello arranges her son Matthew's medical supplies at their home on New York's Staten Island. Matthew is a waiting list in New York for a liver transplant. But doctors advised the family to put him on a list in Ohio as well, where the wait is much shorter. "I'll go anywhere for my son. This is his life," said Randy. But she doesn't think her son should have to change doctors after a lifetime of complex care at New York's Mount Sinai Medical Center, or undergo the stress of travel. Plus, she worries, "if I have to go, I'm putting my family into financial ruin." (AP Photo/Craig Ruttle)

Graphene used to rust-proof steel
Hexavalent chromium compounds are a key ingredient in coatings used to rust-proof steel. They also happen to be carcinogenic. Researchers, therefore, have been looking for non-toxic alternatives that could be used to keep steel items from corroding. Recently, scientists from the University at Buffalo announced that they have developed such a substance. It's a varnish that incorporates graphene, the one-atom-thick carbon sheeting material that is the thinnest and strongest substance known to exist. Read More
Graphene could find use as world's thinnest anti-corrosion coating
It seems like the uses for graphene just won't stop coming. The ultra-strong sheet material, made from bonded carbon atoms, has so far shown promise for use in transistors, computer chips, DNA sequencing, and batteries ... just to name a few possibilities. Now, scientists have discovered that it can also be used as a very effective anti-corrosion coating – and at just one atom in thickness, it's thinner than any of the alternatives. Read More

I miss her already. When she's not in the later rounds, it seems like she wasn't even there to begin with. I can't believe how quickly this year went downhill for her after great early success. I really hope she has some encouraging results and SOON. I'd love to see her play the YEC again in her beloved middle east. It's almost surely not happening, however, as she'd need to make up 500 pts on the #8 player (unless there are pullouts). Barring a miracle at the US Open (where she really has a lot to gain), a HOT indoors season (not impossible), and a pullout or two, Hingis will not make the YEC and will not end the year in the top 10.
Will she continue? What's next for her. Fans weigh in.

Third time's a charm? Not so much! Update on counters!
Thought I'd start a new thread. OP is linked below.
Update on the NEW job: Found another contractor/fabricator - a well respected and reputable one. Visited the showroom (twice), was given refernences and had extensive discussions regarding craftsmanship, my prior experiences (including pictures) and my concerns.
They templated a few weeks ago and installed yesterday. While they "appear " fine, there are a few things that disappoint me a bit:
1) At templating, I had talked with them about the projection past the face frame and we agreed on 1.25". However, some areas are 1.25" and others are 1.5":
- The short ends of the sink counter (to the left and right of the sink ) - the projection is 1.25"
- The sink edge is 1.5"
- The counter to the right of the range projects past the face frame 1.25" while the projection of the counter (peninsula) to the left of the range is 1.5" (My cabinet maker and I did check and the cabinets are plane so the variance was not to accommodate for unevenness of the cabinets.) Hopefully with the range in between the variance won't be noticed.
2) The peninsula overhang over the bookcase end varies by almost .25" from end to end. And about .25" of the subtop at the range opening is exposed.
3) We also discussed the thickness of my tile backsplash (with a sample on hand), however, the gaps between the wall and counter are almost twice the thickness of the tile. I'm hoping that this will be a non-issue once the thinset is factored in.
(see pic for general layout: The large piece is shaped like such '[' and the counter in the lower left is the peninsula and is bascially a big square piece)
Not sure why the variances if the template was done accurately and followed during fabrication.
As I said, it "appears" okay ... but WHY is it so difficult to get something done right?!
I REALLY REALLY don't want to go through another tearout and redo ... is it justifiable to ask for a discount?
Advice? Thoughts?
Here is a link that might be useful: Help! My perfectionistic tendencies ... (OP)
jellytoast - I agree. And when the guys came out to template they themselves were checking to ensure the cabinets were plane Iwhich they are) for this very reason - so they would know if they had to compensate for any variances ... yet they still got it wrong.
Since this is your third time around I will ask you this: if you had not taken a measuring tape to the overhang would you have noticed?
Not everyone is like me, but if it were me I would just say screw it, good enough. A quarter inch is hardly anything, and given your extensive experience with shoddy workmanship it seems unlikely you will get any better than that. Unfortunately.
Black Chamois:
It appears from your picture that you have no filler on the right side of your dishwasher opening. I'm hoping it just hasn't been installed yet and that you will have 24" when it is. If not and especially since your cabinet doors are overlay, the overhang and gap problems are going to be the least of your worries.
There is no way I would ever notice that and I have decided after reading this that I will NOT be taking a tape measure to the overhang when my new counters are installed in a few weeks. If it looks fine...if you wouldn't have known had you not actually measured...if the counters function as they are supposed to...then what is the problem really?
Green - yes you are very right. I'm sure I am hypersensitive based on my past bad experiences. And, yes, had I not measured I probably would not know however without the doors and drawers on it's hard to tell so I wanted to make sure I wouldn't have an issue.
Tre - yes there will be a filler currently the opening measures 28 inches.
dc - One of the reasons that I was measuring in the first place is because I have a slide in range and wanted to ensure it was going to fit properly on both sides. Also, when they took the template they made a point to explain how if the cabinets were not plane then they would have to compensate somehow in the overhang. The fact that the cabinets ARE plane and there are variances in the overhang I just thought was odd.
Thanks for the feedback all!
Black Chamois:
Whew. I was sweating that opening for a minute.
I've noticed that you repeatedly say what you discussed with your fabricator, unfortunately you don't say what is written down, contract or email. This is important because it gives you leverage. They may have no memory of your showing them the tile, but they can't deny an email stating the tile thickness.
"Hopefully with the range in between the variance won't be noticed."
Unfortunately it will be more noticeable, because a range, especially a slide-in, connects the two sides. The installed range will provide a visual reference point on each side. The reveals will be off 1/4".
You may gain 1/8" from the thin set, but no where near another tile thickness. There are several ways to compensate; you'll have to pick your poison or have another do-over.
If you'll indulge me please, pull a string tight from the left inside cabinet corner to the end of the peninsula and watch for any bows or gaps along the way. This is a much more accurate way to check for plane than a 4' level over the appliance opening.
Tre - I will do the string thing :) as soon as I can. I am getting ready to head out of town and in a bit of a rush.
re: "Unfortunately it will be more noticeable, because a range, especially a slide-in, connects the two sides. The installed range will provide a visual reference point on each side. The reveals will be off 1/4"."
Totally true. In my case the right side of the range will be where a gap would show and it's in a corner so at least it's not on the side that one would see entering the kitchen. (Just trying to find the silver lining.) :)
Thanks so much for all the feedback and advice!
Tre - "If you'll indulge me please, pull a string tight from the left inside cabinet corner to the end of the peninsula and watch for any bows or gaps along the way. This is a much more accurate way to check for plane than a 4' level over the appliance opening."
I taped a string to the left end of the inside cabinet (the cabinet to the right of the range), pulled it past the range opening and to the end* of the peninsula cabinet. (*I could not pull it totally to the end as there is a panel installed on part of the cabinet/bookcase the thickness of the drawer/doors, so I pulled it to right where the panels start.) And the string is touching the cab face frame and is straight (no bowing).
Also, Tre - "I've noticed that you repeatedly say what you discussed with your fabricator, unfortunately you don't say what is written down, contract or email. This is important because it gives you leverage. They may have no memory of your showing them the tile, but they can't deny an email stating the tile thickness."
I do not have an email or anything written down by me other than the notes I took on my checklist of questions. When the fabricators came to template, they asked me what my backsplash would be. I had a tile on hand and gave that to them. They put it up against the wall and marked it on the template.
I did not think to follow up in email regarding the overhang or the tile thickness as I figured they had it in their notes which I observed them writing these things down. I know that does me no good, but lesson learned on my part.
I hope it's not inappropriate that I share this (if so please tell me and I will edit out), but this is the response back from them yesterday when I emailed about my concerns:
"We do in fact not only pride ourselves on the quality of the work we do I can guarantee if there are variations in the edge overhang the cabinets are likely out of square.
As far as the gap between the top and the wall, you have to keep in mind that the top has to have somewhat of a gap in order to be installed especially as one piece as you requested. You also need to keep in mind that it is not just the thickness of the tile to consider but the mastic used to adhere the tile that covers that gap. I assure you that xxx has extensive experience in tile installation and would not intentionally leave a gap that the tile would not cover.
Between xxx and xxx they have a combined 30 plus years of fabrication and installation experience. You will not find better in our field. Part of their job as installers is to take imperfections like bowed walls, cabinets that are out of level or installed unevenly, floors that are uneven, etc and make all of those components come together to make a nice coutertop. Sometimes in order to make that happen without having to have homeowners have to adjust cabinets, floors and walls we have to make adjustments to things like the edge overhang.
It has also been my experience that people that have had something go wrong with another contractor are looking for something to be wrong when there in fact is nothing wrong, and I mean absolutely no disrespect in saying that. It just seems to be the nature of the situation.
Having said that, I will speak to xxx and xxx on Tuesday. They are both on an out of town job until then. I will relay all of your concerns so they can address them after Thursday per your request."

Well, I would say that the note sounds a bit condescending, but it is often hard to judge the tone of a letter. This part seems entirely unnecessary:
"It has also been my experience that people that have had something go wrong with another contractor are looking for something to be wrong when there in fact is nothing wrong, and I mean absolutely no disrespect in saying that. It just seems to be the nature of the situation."
Don't you wish he had shared his philosophy with you BEFORE you gave him the job?
In all fairness, it has been YOUR experience that things ARE going wrong. Who ever wrote the note clearly has some preconceived notions ... that you are wrong and his installers never make mistakes and any "unintentional" mistakes that they do make are due to someone else's craftsmanship. Honestly, he should have come out and looked at the job before making any such statements.
jellytoast - Thank you! I agree 100%. "I can guarantee if there are variations in the edge overhang the cabinets are likely out of square." Really? You can guarntee without even coming to check yourself? Just assume the customer is wrong and/or the other trade? So much for customer focus :)
You have my sympathies, BlackChamois. Instead of arguing with you, telling you that you are imagining things, and laying the blame on everyone but himself, he should just come over and see what can be done to resolve the issue. He has a lot to learn about customer service.
In all fairness, if as a potential client you want to set off my double-secret probation alarms, tell me I'm the second/third/whatever guy to tackle this project.
I instantly begin assessing whether or not the potential is a nut or a victim, and I'm pretty good at figuring it out quickly.
Several years ago I had a customer bash her previous contractor and ask me for a material and labor breakdown, another serious warning. I choose to ignore both and it cost me almost a thousand dollars.
On the other hand, the customers for the jobs I've taken over or fixed are some of the most appreciative.
blackchamois- i may it be understanding you correctly but it sounds like there is a gap between wall and counter that is noticeable? if it helps at all, i talked to two fabricators in depth about the template following the wall because i already knew my wall had a bow in it. one guys said they cut the counter straight and i would have to spackle the wall to fit the counter after install. the owner of the place i went with said that they have a certain kind of saw that lets them do curves but many places can only do straight cuts. my counter is very snug to the wall even in the wonky places.
Tre - "You may gain 1/8" from the thin set, but no where near another tile thickness. There are several ways to compensate; you'll have to pick your poison or have another do-over."
What are some of my "poison" options? I would like to avoid a do-over. Hoping my tile installer can come by to give me his assessment before I speak with the countertop folks again.
You say you'd not have noticed it . . . if you hadn't measured it. If it takes a measuring tape to notice a problem, it isn't much of a problem!
Your real problem is your dishwasher's placement. When the door is opened, you're not going to be able to reach the upper cabinets.
MrsPete - That may be true re the overhang, however there are other concerns such as the gap and the exposed subtop that are visibly noticeable. Provided the variance in overhang doesn't make the range look askew, you're right ... that will be the least of my worries.
The dishwasher placement isn't an issue. It's been in that same spot for over 20 years and it's never been a problem for me.
"If it takes a measuring tape to notice a problem, it isn't much of a problem!"
It's a problem when you try to fit something into a space and find out it won't go. It's a problem when you put your slide-in range into place and find out that the front edges don't fit properly.
Putting the tape measure to my overhangs prompted me to buy a different range that wouldn't show the differences. I did notice the difference (and it's less of a difference than BlackChamois is dealing with) which is why I bought out a tape measure in the first place.
Measuring things and discovering problems now is a way to avoid more problems in the future.
BTW, that exposed sub-top and cabinet at the range cut-out is ridiculous. What if you decide to change your range down the road? That really limits your options.
That looks a little short of the end of cabinet. Do you have the appliance on site? My countertop templating is in a couple of weeks and they requested stove on site. I wasn't going to do that since I didn't want stove marred in the process plus had no where to store the stove. Had 2nd thoughts and now trying to arrange and guess they'll need to install it too. I'm getting nervous now. I think I would have a hard time accepting some of the really 'less-than' things I've read. My DH says stay off GW. Ha! Won't happen.

Live Blog, Live Stream: 12-12-12 Concert for Hurricane Sandy Relief
|By: Lisa Derrick Wednesday December 12, 2012 7:14 pm
IT'S EVERYWHERE! OMG! The 12-12-12 Concert for Hurricane Sandy Relief, benefiting the Robin Hood Fund, the largest independent poverty fighting organization in the New York area, is being broadcast and streamed on almost every major website and TV channel in the US, and is accessible to over 2 billion worldwide. Heck it's even on the Cooking Channel! And the Military History Channel. Maybe Israelis and Palestinians will bond over Billy Joel and Kanye West, and we'll have world peace as well as raising fund to help Hurricane Sandy relief efforts!
And we're here liveblogging it with you, from the opening (rumored to be Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band) to the close (PaulMcCartney takes on Kurt Cobain's role in Nirvana. Please no one introduce him to Courtney Love!).

FDL Movie Night: The People Speak
|By: Lisa Derrick Monday March 8, 2010 5:00 pm
Howard Zinn's monumental book, A People's History of the United States lifted the curtain on the traditional American narrative, revealing class struggles, dissent and the efforts of everyday Americans, people of color, women, day laborers, migrant workers to gain and live with the rights promised in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
In The People Speak, Zinn is joined by a group of talented actors and musicians in bringing these people's stories to life. Morgan Freeman, Viggo Mortensen, Marisa Tomei, Sean Penn, Rosario Dawson, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, David Starthairn, Danny Glover, Kerry Washington, Benjamin Bratt, Sandra Oh, Jasmine Guy, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Pink, Eddie Vedder, John Legend, DMC, Chris Robinson and Rich Robinson are among the stars lending their voices to The People Speak, a documentary based on A People's History of the United States and Voices of a People's History of the United States, the companion volume of 200 primary sources, co-created with Anthony Arnove.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Easy to work with!
Appreciated having the opportunity to review samples! Order shipped so fast!
We really wanted an invitation that wasn't overly fancy. This was perfect. It came in our wedding colors, and was easy to design, and was exactly what we were looking for. The only downfall was that, because the invites are square, they do cost more to send. Our's were $0.70 each. Overall, we loved them.
Wonderful Quality
Received my invitations last week and I am so impressed. They are great quality. They were so easy to customize online, shipped very quickly and I am thoroughly pleased with them. I chose the Luxe Pearl paper and was not disappointed, the quality was well worth the price.
I knew what type of invitation I wanted & when I found Magnet Street it brought my vision to life! PERFECTION!!!!
Great price and quality.
Entire process was so easy and fast. They were quick in sending me proofs and making changes as requested! Our wedding invites are simple and beautiful. I'm excited to send them out!

Closer Look: Serafina Waterfront Trattoria in Fort Lauderdale
Tuesday, February 4, 2014 | 1 year ago
Down an unremarkable street, beside a row of unremarkable storefronts, is a remarkable restaurant. Attentive, Italian-speaking staff will help you navigate the menu and owner/chef Michele Viscosi (from Napoli) will work the stoves. Reasonably priced bottles of wine (most $30 to $50) harmonize with Serafina's Mediterranean selection of pastas, soups, fish, veal, and lamb. Top off a lovely night with a shared slice of ricotta cheesecake or shots of limoncello. Or both.

a kaleidoscope
of looking out
a mute response

what i see what i hear
makes me paint a fear
dipping my colors
in ducts of tear
as you retract
as i draw near
In the gallery
a portrait speaks
through the cracks
the truth it leaks
Through my eyes
a goal I seek
to paint the modest
and the meek
awake aware alive
Into this pool
so honest dive
there on canvas
I stretch my frame
look me straight

Letter: Rep. Cramer, showing up for votes is part of job
On July 22, Democratic U.S. House candidate George Sinner held a press conference calling out Kevin Cramer for missing 11 percent of his votes over the past three months. Cramer responded by saying there is more to the job than showing up for votes.

55 Percent of United Kingdom May Be Vegan by 2020
Vegfest UK Predicts that more than half the population across the pond will turn to a cruelty-free lifestyle in less than 10 years.
As veganism moves from a fringe lifestyle to a mainstream movement, Vegfest UK predicts that nearly 55 percent of the population will be cruelty-free by 2020. Vegfest has experienced a surge in traffic on its social media outlets and the last Brighton fest had record-breaking attendance of nearly 7,500 visitors. According to the source, there has also been a 100 percent increase in vegan book sales on eBay and Amazon. Fueling the vegan trend is the rising number of affordable animal-free alternatives as well as the recent horsemeat scandal, which prompted many omnivores to choose meat-free options. "Many kids have a natural instinct that eating animals is something they'd rather not do and struggle with the concept that … some animals are pets and some are food." says nutritionist Harley Street Yvonne Bishop-Weston.

Forlorn Dreams of Immortality
This is a piece on the self preservation instinct and its eventual futility due to the inescapable nature of death.
A bird reaches towards a key to unlock a padlock on its leg. As the bird flies towards the key, the chain is pulled and the key moves further away.
There is a bit of slack in the part of the chain resting on the floor, giving hope that the key might be reachable after all.
Unfortunately, even if the bird could ever reach the key, it is stuck in a room with neither doors nor windows. Other than the chain, the lock and the key, the room is empty.
No matter what the creature attempts to achieve, it would eventually die of starvation or thirst.
The true message of the piece is intentionally unclear and left open to your interpretation. I'd love to hear what you think of it and thank you for reading!
Pocket-sized Paintings
You might have seen photocopies of these paintings from my last post, stuck into my sketchbook. In these paintings, I've tried to further develop my painting skills on a small scale. The canvases used for these paintings are approximately 10 x 10 cm, with a depth of 2.5 cm. Below is my very first self portrait using acrylics, loosely inspired by Oscar Wilde's 'The Portrait of Dorian Gray'. Following that painting is a small scene that takes inspiration from a German legend about a man called Faust who sold his soul.
I may be good at landscapes and abstract paintings on such a size, but I haven't had much practice with portraiture and figurative drawing until now. I'd love to know what you think of my recent paintings. Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for reading!
The Time has Come to Talk of Many Things…
"Of shoes and ships and sealing-wax, of cabbages and kings…"
- the Walrus from 'Through the Looking-Glass' by Lewis Carroll.
A lot has happened in the last month.
- In my fine art course, I've been studying and memorizing about 60 images (which means learning the works of art, their artists and the image's backgrounds) for a slide test, working hard to meet assessment deadlines and completed an essay on AWN Pugin and his views on architecture.
- I've met an amazingly wonderful girl called Eve, who is also an aspiring artist. :-) <3
- The kittens now have names; 'Millie' and 'Sebastian' and are growing into very happy, hyper cats.
- As a result of having cats in the house my whole family (myself included) has contracted ringworm, which is very itchy!
Most of the work we have done as students at the college are exploratory, and that there are very few finished works of art. There's a lot of stuff involving sketchbooks and note taking. I've found it strange that for all the work we do as students, it seems to amount to very little actual art, although that will probably change in the second semester. Anyhow, assessments are taking place next week, so I won't be able to show you most of my works until next Friday or the Monday that follows it. However, I do have a few scanned images of pages from one of my sketchbooks before I handed it up, which you can see below:
During my first semester, I believe that I'm already starting to develop my ideas and I'm much more sure and confident about the sort of artwork I want to produce. In my personal artwork, I think I am forming two main subject matters:
- the first being work concerning my Tweedles,
- the second being an exploration of themes, including immortality, demons, angels and the supernatural.
It's been an insightful and illuminating few months and I'm really enjoying myself at art college! As we now approach the middle of December, I want to wish all of you the happiest of holidays as Christmas approaches! Thank you for reading!
Happy Halloween!
This year I improved the costume I had last year and went as the Mad Hatter (again).
Below; the hat is the finished version of the one I posted a while ago and there is also my own attempt at making a tailcoat.
I tried to take a photo of myself in costume using a mirror, but the lighting in the photo below wasn't very good. I tried to fix it when I uploaded it but couldn't fix it properly, however I kept the resulting picture because it looked fairly spooky anyway!
Hope you had a Happy Halloween!
And Now for Something Completely Different…
In college over the last few weeks we've been experimenting with techniques, without focusing on creating a finished product. I would post them… but they are under assessment now, so when I get the chance, I'll put them up on this blog. With Halloween approaching, I've been working on a costume… which will also appear on this blog soon. (Probably around the time of Halloween) But today, I wanted to show you some pictures of the two newest members of the family:
The kitten on the left is called Millie, but the grey doesn't have a name yet.
What do you think this cat's name should be?
Multimedia – My Second Short Film
Here is the other film for my multimedia class using Final Cut Pro 10. Like the last film, the footage, frames and music is all my own. Unfortunately it has come up much lighter than it was originally. Everything else seems to be the same as when I made it.
This piece is titled "Birth of a Tweedle" and is about 2 to 3 minutes long. Enjoy!
Multimedia – My First Short Film
It took me a while to get this film up here. My college uses Mac while my laptop is PC. And I'm completely new to Mac computers!
I made this film in college using Final Cut Pro 10. It took about 5 hours to make. I'd like to thank my friend Bartorz for starring as the man in the film. The music is my own and can be found here.
This is my first short film, made as part of my multimedia elective in Crawford. I'm fairly new to video editing, so please let me know if you thought; was it good or bad, what could be improved upon and what worked. I hope you liked it!!
Drawing Class 101
I've just had my first few days of college. It's all a bit scary and new to me, but I think I'll be fine here after a while. On Monday and Tuesday we had an introduction to our theory classes. The remainder of the week is for studio work, and for that we've been doing some observational drawing.
The drawings below are from today and yesterday; the first one is a charcoal and pencil drawing, and the second is a pen and ink drawing with graphite pencils. Both pictures were created on A1 sheets.
Below is the watch featured in the drawings. For a sense of scale, I traced around my hand in the second picture.
I also drew a view of the watch through a pocket microscope in the second sheet, although I'm not sure how visible it is on the computer screen. I hope you like my drawings and stay tuned for more artwork next week!
The 100th Post
I've just finished moving into Cork now and have now got wifi access so I can finally post this post!
I thought that, since I'm beginning a new art course, I'd look at the evolution of my artwork on this blog from the beginning of its creation up until now.
My very first post was about a stencil I made of the local church, which I sponged watercolour paints onto. The finishing touches were painted by hand without the stencil.
I continued to use watercolours, using scraps of card to make bookmarks that I used to practice and improve my skills…
Below are a few of these bookmarks I created with watercolours:
When I was more confident in my skills, I started painting with acrylics on small canvas:
During the Leaving Cert. Exam years, when I had a break from studying I started to doodle. These doodles quickly turned into drawings, and they resulted in a series of A4 pencil drawings.
From one of those pencil drawings came the idea for a mechanical creature that has stuck with me up to the present day – Tweedles. I focuses mainly on them and, virtually obsessed with them, made a lot of artwork that featured Tweedles.
They were the main subject for my PLC course artwork as I converted them from pencil to print, from print to painting and even began to make physical life-sized Tweedle sculptures:
Although I do intend to keep making Tweedle-orientated artwork, I think during my 4 year Fine Art course at Crawford I will experiment with new ideas and techniques, moving away from Tweedles a bit to explore new themes.
I'd like to thank everyone who's viewed, commented, followed or liked anything on this blog as we celebrate 100 posts.
Keeping this blog has allowed me to keep track of my artwork and its progress, and all the support I've had from you guys has been very beneficial in my creative process, and has helped me understand my own artwork from new perspectives.
Thank you very much for reading!
The 17th Tweedle
Now that I've secured a place in Crawford College of Art and Design, I'm busy getting ready to move to Cork, finding art supplies and sorting out all the stuff associated with college life. Since I'm currently focused on the move back into Cork, I won't be posting much artwork until I'm settled into my new college. I will try to post something each week, but my schedule might be a little more erratic.
Anyhow, today I thought I'd share with you a photo of the 17th Tweedle.
When I make my Tweedle sculptures, I always make them in 'generations' of 8 Tweedles each. This one, however, I created a while ago for a dear friend's birthday.
It's the only one to date that has not belonged to a generation. It's also the only one to possess a miniature metal fan and have it's own personalized blue-jay feather.
When I was creating it, I perceived it as an experimentation into how Tweedles might decorate themselves, mimicking the way their human masters cloth themselves. I also wanted to capture the sort of playfulness that Tweedles develop over time.
I hope you like this sculpture, and thanks for reading!
Burnt Drawings and Needle-Felt Cogs
Apart from commissions, I've been taking more of a break from art as I'll be going onto Crawford College of Art and Design in September. I've received the acceptance email from the CAO a few days ago, so I know for certain that they've accepted me into the college!
I did these Tweedle pictures a few days ago. They are quick pen and ink drawings about the size of playing cards, framed messily by their burnt edges. Below that, I've also posted some needle-felt cogs that I made in my combined materials class in the early stages of my PLC course (which I completely forgot to post about until now!). Enjoy!
Pyro Commission – Pen and Ink Drawing
A few days ago I was commissioned by a new local cafe called Pyro to put up some decorative sculptures and to create a piece for their wall.
After putting up some sculptures (you can see them in my last post) I was asked to create a piece for their wall. With the Tweedle sculptures put up, I decided that something that combined the Tweedles and the cafe would be good. The following drawing was the result:
The work is based on the unique lights the cafe has (seen below), and was created in a similar way to my skulls, digitally creating the image then using manga pens to trace the image.
Pyro is a small cafe/takeaway that sells pizzas, pasta and desserts. I'd definitely recommend the place if you're in the Kenmare locality. The owners are very friendly, and the pizzas are all freshly baked almost entirely in front of you.
This concludes my dual posts for today. I hope you've enjoyed my latest artwork and thanks for reading!

Help! Hot pot in copper sink..
Any ideas or advice to help out, I don't know what to try!
It looks to me like your sink was pre-patinaed and then lacquered to preserve that look. Is that right?
If so, you have to decide if you are willing to go down to raw copper, and then live with the advantages and disadvantages of a living finish of raw copper.
If I am wrong, and your sink has no lacquer finish, you just have to clean up the stain. I little Barkeeper's Friend would be my first choice to scrub that area down.
It looks like an inexpensive Mexican or Chinese sink.
The copper underneath is unlikely to be close to pure.
It is probably recycled and has other metals in it.
If you remove the artificial patina it is unlikely to look good, at least not like pure virgin copper.
That is why they hammer and put artificial patina on the sink in the first place.
They will probably say it is natural patina on a natural material. What kind of a warranty does it have?
Does this have a protective coating on it? Does the documentation say anything about not placing hot items in the sink?
All you can do is to contact them immediately with a photo. I would not want a replacement though as I wouldn't trust their products and one plumbing cost would be enough.
Have you tried copper cleaner on it? They make creams and powders. The first time I used my copper pots, I was appalled at how dark and splotchy the bottoms looked - but then I used a copper cleaner on them and they returned to their original color and shine.

If you put a little lemon juice on the sink and let it sit for awhile, then rinse away. What did that do to the finish? If it the sink has a natural patina, you will likely see a brighter copper color. If it is a lacquered finish, you probably will not see a change.
Our copper farmhouse sink has a natural patina, so at times where the patina gets stripped away, like from something acidic, the patina will return after a few weeks. That's why they call it a "living finish".
If your sink has a lacquered finish, I'm not sure how you'd rectify that other than trying to strip all of the lacquer to get down to bare metal. But, if the metal is as deeageaux indicates, then you'd be left with replacing the sink.
Is this an under mount or farmhouse sink?
Thanks for the advice - I will try copper cleaner.
I contacted the company and haven't heard back yet.
Yes, it's an undermount farmhouse sink. We just finished kitchen recently
and started using it. I have noticed little stains and lightening of copper on occasion and it does appear to fade back with a little time.
Mix together salt and vinegar and rub it on the heat tint with a paper towel sink and see if it removes the oxidation. That is homemade "copper cleaner" -- what I have always used to clean my copper cookware. You don't need to buy a special product.
If the sink isn't coated it will create a shiny spot and you can then clean the rest of the sink to shiny and let it repatina naturally. However, copper oxide is not good to ingest. Sink grid is a good idea.

Looks like heat tarnish to me...I grew up cooking with my mom's Revere copper-bottomed saucepans and your tarnish looks just like the bottom of those pots. Wouldn't be worrying about it. Any copper cleaner & a bit of elbow grease will clean it...but you're going to have shiny raw copper for a minute or two/ day or two. But that's the nature of copper so best to get used to it! :-)
The thing about copper is that even if the sink was pre-patina-ed and lacquered, eventually or sooner, that lacquer layer is going to wear off and the copper will respond to anything that it's reactive to...acids, bleach, ammonia, etc. anyway.

It takes 2 reboots for a gpo to take place on windows xp machines. You can force the policy by using the following command:
gpupdate /force
you can check to see if your policy is being applied by using the following command
gpresult /r
you can graphically see what policies are being applied by using this at a run prompt
If you do not see your policy being applied, you will never be able to map drives using the method laid out.

On topic: A Linux based NAS with a Windows domain and its permissions is a hellhole...
If your NAS runs Linux it almost certainly uses SAMBA, which supports Windows domains very well. If you are referring to problems you are having setting up user accounts or syncing permissions for AD, I recommend that you join the NAS to your domain. At my workplace we have a Windows domain with almost exclusively Windows 7 clients, but all of our network storage servers are either RHEL-based or Debian-based. We have them all joined to the domain and configured to allow login from users in specific AD groups. The key is keeping those servers in a separate OU so the GP for clients doesn't apply to them. For more detailed information read the Domain Membership chapter of the SAMBA Manual.
