    Another what's it.

    Thanks guys. That makes total sense. My dad had described one to me a few times over my life but he had never produced one for me to see. I was amazed at how ornate it was made complete with a name plate spot but not a single stamp except the hash marks on the depth guage.

    Fire Extinguisher Info

    I've got 10 of the water ones that were retired from fire safety at work. They came home to arm my kids. They make great long range super soakers in the summer.

    Painting cinderblock

    I side with BC - work with what has color on it and leave the bricks. I wouldn't want to add to my never ending todo list. If you paint it and have access to an airless -rent beg or borrow. Seal the blocks and spray them and while it is still wet back roll with big fuzzy roller. So in sections...
