No, not a stripper, she has on a stylish So CA swimsuit, a bit more than a thong. Hey I have GSs that are 9, 9 1/2 and 10 1/2. Gotta be good here. Yes I will say that I paid $4 for it, thanks to Linda for giving the guy the eye to give me a good deal. I thought about using as separate pieces...table legs for a plant stand. I looked at the picture and saw one of those older types of street lamp shades, the ones that were pleated circles. That would make a great tutu. I am thinking about hypertufa quiltglo to make her a garden statue and maybe grow vines up her, lol. Hmm, wonder if either piece would make a good birdhouse, lol. I should be brave and mosaic it.

This is the off-topic area, so it's all good, Baci. :) I found the link below with a listing of salvage yards. Is it in there? Brenda Here is a link that might be useful: Yucca Valley Wreckage & Salvage Yards

Try looking in the yellow pages of the phone book for 'salvage yards' or 'auto parts, used'. Locate several likely listings, then call before going to see if they have what you are looking for. Many junk yards, these days, do not keep car bodies much older than 7 years. They crush and sell for scrap metal older automotive bodies.

budge1, the taps are pretty, aren't they? Fortunately the taps weren't TOO expensive....what is really killing me is the stupid shower/bath faucet sets. Not only am I totally baffled by all the pressure balance blah blah blah options...but they are all so friggen expensive! vondab--I got lucky and found a salvage sink that was already in pretty good condition. I know what you mean, though, I saw plenty of sinks that would have been very nice if it hadn't been for all the rust. I think my sink is porcelain...a lot of the salvage sinks are cast iron, which I believe can be resurfaced more or less successfully. I really have no experience with that process, though, so I can't offer any words of wisdom. I did, however, buy a product that was recommended on the deabath.com website, called 'Zud'. It was quite effective in removing a minor rust colored area on the sink (not visible in the pictures I posted above) as well as some rust stains on my tile floor. Might be worth a try....
