Re: [papercreters] Re: Burlap-Crete (John Annesley's original post about it.)

Hi Jay

I saw his other post that had the links to the pictures,,,,,,,

Too bad they are gone now.

I took a look through the Photos on the group page but I did not find them there either.

It is a great explanation though.

In another thread, someone mentioned John Annesley's Burlap-Crete.

I knew John was a member of our group, and I knew he had posted about it previously, so I looked it up.  Instead of just posting a link to his post on the topic, I decided to reply to it so that my post would quote his words entirely.  So, here I am replying to a post that is over 5 years old.  Better late than never, right? 

The post below was written by John on March 4, 2008.
The url for a direct link to the page I got this from is:

Enjoy this trip through the way-back machine everyone.  I sure hope the Flux Capacitor in the Delorean holds together for the trip home.  Oh crap!... I better get a move-on.  I see Biff headed for me.
