  1. The Last Days of the Loretto Extension

    The ugly monstrosity that was an extension to the Loretto School in Youghal, in 2023. It was finally demolished in January this year.

  3. Here's 'Chicken Legs', I won't bother you how it got its name.
    But for 420 US bucks it can be yours!
    Yess in 🤑US, but Trumpy made me not 🚢 shipping to the US at the moment.
    You may be thinking 420 is a lot but this includes shipping this 4 and a quart kilo thing to your doorstep. Completely handmade and only one.

  5. This evening Chico dropped a fruit stem on the concrete slab and gave me the shot of the year — the happy curb!

  7. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧱🛠️ A 1,900 year old latrine at Hadrian’s Villa in #Tivoli, #Italy, may hold the key to #Roman concrete’s enduring strength.

    Researchers from UC #Berkeley discovered that #carbonation, not just the well known pozzolanic reaction, allows calcite to fill cracks and heal the material over time. The findings could guide efforts to reduce #concrete’s massive #carbon footprint.

  12. Take a path

    From Ragtag Daily Prompt, the prompt today is: Concrete Jungle

    In the Concrete Jungle of downtown Minneapolis, where tall buildings and dark shadows reign, where strangers fear the intimacy of eye contact with others, where a phone demands attention to provide comfort, the trees need to reach out and introduce themselves.

    Leave the jungle and step off the concrete path for just a moment.

    Follow another path.

    Look up.

    Look around.

    Breath.

  14. Back at Jubilee Hospital. Today, it's for work. At RJH for next 2 hours with a client.

    I think these concrete exterior walls would look better, and feel warmer, if they had pretty art murals painted on. It feels so cold & unwelcoming, as it is - gives off prison vibes.

  16. Concrete CMS: 42 CVEs, all unpatched (100%). 0 critical—but CSRF (CWE-352) tops weaknesses. Trust Score: C. Open source doesn't mean neglect. Patch now. #Concrete #CMS #cybersecurity

  17. After two weeks of Monsoon, summer is back, so I can finally continue on the foundation.

    The south side had some work done by a previous owner, badly. They laid down one of his famous concrete pylons on top of soil and vegetation and poured concrete on it, against the stones, above ground only.

    No reinforcement, nothing underneath, no connection to the stones, not even pre-wetting. The pylon sagged away, detaching from the concrete and the pour cracked in several places. It's not like they didn't have rebar, I found lots of that in the garden!

    It all has to come off. Luckily it isn't adhered well. I stuck in my prybar and a big chunk fell off.

    I dug the pylon out, rolled it away from the house and dragged it to the backyard.

  19. Located near the entrance to the #Nazi Underground City complex at Osówka (Podziemne Miasto Osówka) in the Owl Mountains, #Poland.

    Most likely, a foundation for a heavy equipment or service infrastructure supplying the #underground #tunnels.

  22. You might be surprised by the amount of car-centric infrastructure baked into this mid-sized Midwestern city. That's a lot of concrete baking in the sun.

    Further, if Eden Prairie doesn't have an apple orchard, or a reptile shop, it's missing an opportunity.

    Looking forward to the Farmers Market stop and the Micro Center (Wooddale Ave.) stop, near the manufacturing home of the Bundt pan. You'd rather not have to drive there if you can help it.
