Well, the poison should work the fastest. It might stink the place up for a bit, though!
they had 2 wherehouse cats when they where at No Ho and they LOVED being thereThey’d love it until they got squashed under a pallet or a garage door. Or poisoned from eating a poisoned mouse. >.>
February 7, 2009 at 1:41 am #751131It’s winter here as well but last week we saw a big black snake on the road..figured the rain and water from melting snow drove it out…I don’t know how old your building site is, but if there was a snake hibernating in or around the building, cranking up the heat will bring it out after those mice.. 😉
Non-venomous species aren’t that bad..they don’t usually knock things over or break stuff from crawling around..so better than a cat actually..lol
So the gypsum was mixed wrong at the place it came from…it didn’t go bad it was just a bad batch… makes sense now. :yes:
February 7, 2009 at 2:13 am #751132Well, if I order a Windstone and it starts squeaking, I’ll know why! 🙂

BUT – today I managed to make the first decent castings that we’ve seen up here in Corvallis – HOORAY!! Things are looking up! 🙂Interested in buying or trading for: GB Pebble Sitting Red Fox in dark grey, Lap Dragon Test Paints (Water Sprite, Glacial Pearl, Opulence, Pastel Rainbow, and many others - see my Classifieds ad), Blue Morpho OW, GB Pebble Loaf dragons in blue/aqua/teal, and Griffin Test Paints (Black Rainbow or Frosted Jade).

😆 those would be some funny shaped sprinkles…
February 7, 2009 at 5:37 am #751136Well as cute as mice can be (they are) They can make and leave some nasty messes….

You obviously never saw the factory down in Hollywood. Cats everywhere! And birds and lizards and, well, dragons, but those don’t do a whole lot of wandering…

I love mice. But unfortunately I can’t tell them not to make icky nests in my clean molds… and more unfortunately I can’t tell them not to chew on my molds, which is tragic really because we as yet have no one to make more molds. NO CHEWING, MICE!! Who speaks mouseese?? We need a translater…
WE HAVE CAST… not a lot of variety. A few mother dragons, a few father dragons, some leaf cat sconces, some wolf councils and a mess of circle of cats candlelamps. Oh, and one PYO griffin. 🙂 I really need to find the molds to the PYO ki-rins… And the keeper PYO, though I’m just not sure a mold actually got made…

Poor Susie finds chocolate sprinkles on her desk all the time.
Well, today was pretty good. I got a lovely lady named Wendy to train a little bit. She spent most of the day scraping things – ugh, scraping!!! 😛 …Though I got to use the stone texture tool today, and that was lots of fun. Melody calls it a ‘pecker’. …Leave it to her…

Ha ha, I shot seltzer out my nose 😆 It hurts XD
February 7, 2009 at 7:53 pm #751139Nope, never saw it (the factory in CA). It was already being packed up by the time I remembered Windstones existed. But we’ve had a cat killed when it tried to slip out of the garage at the last minute, too low and too late for the sensors to stop the door in time.
So…I didn’t think having animals underfoot at a factory/warehouse sounded very safe (for them).
Personally, I wouldn’t feel bad about killing the mice. They’re destructive little pests. It’s funny how when something is cute and furry it immediately garners sympathy by virtue of its appearance…while something uncute, like a termite, is killed without remorse. Whatever the case, even if you poison mice, it’s not like you’re ever entirely rid of them. They keep coming back, like cockroaches.
That said, everyone enjoy this fine video :
February 8, 2009 at 4:31 am #751140I’ve seen that video before and it still freaks me out 😮 . ICK!!
February 10, 2009 at 4:20 am #751141I have people to train!! 😀 I made them do a lot of grunt work today. They are two very nice ladies named Wendy and Chris. And of course I have John (Susie’s son, not boss John) to help out, too. Tomorrow… I think we will be bold and I will have everyone try and pour.
Everything I’m pouring is turning out very well except the male dragons!!!! Arrrgh!!!
I made a perfect Female griffin today, though, on my first try with that mold. Maybe the male snow leopard griff can have a mate!

-J R R TolkienFebruary 13, 2009 at 5:42 am #751142I made a few oriental dragons today. 😀 I don’t know if they’ll actually get painted or go beyond the casting department, but it was sure exciting to see those come out of the mold.
