the walls are 16" thick but only the center is adobe. the inside and outside wall surface has been covered with another surface and the inside corners are crumbling near the bottom. can i resurface and save the walls?
lake-
There are some folks that read here at Breaktime that can help you with this.
Let's get some more info to help them see what they are dealing with.
I'm guessing the southwest USA, but what part of the country the house is in can be helpful to know for climate concerns.
If it is at all possible to get a photo of the crumbling wall to post on here it would be to your advantage to do so. A picture will paint the thousand words and make a more exact analysis possible.
Until we get more data on here to help decipher, what you have said so far makes me think it is just your surface coats that are in need of attention and probably not the inner walls.
Hopefully that helps to ease the thought that the house walls are not repairable.
Perhaps some others here reading this can ask a few pointed questions to lake that will help him direct his information about the house. "Live Free, not Die"

"rez, why you not tell him how to fill out profile info"Yeah, rez. You complained that no one was helping you get the profiles filled out and as soon as someone starts helping you stop!What's with that??

Let it be said that a few laughs were garnered and a good time was had by all.
It seems someone is always trying to do something to make this forum conform. Be it to the directive of an old pre-existing structure or the idea of a dictated guideline set in pursuit of a website nirvana.
My tiny attempt to popularize the inclusion of a poster's general location in their profile did carry a hidden air of seriousness although clothed in the guise of humor.
The ease of use and better flow of communication on the site was the aim. All with a listening ear was the target.
Seeing the continually increasing number of newbies arriving daily, it seemed in good stead to present a certain mindset for the newcomers to adopt to that would reap great dividends in the future for the better functioning of the forum whole.
To really bring something to fruitition of this magnitude in the wild west mentality of the cyberworld would require the patronage of the greater part of the already assembled cast to pull it off. The established forum members leading by example.
Unfortunately, not enough of the said personnel that stand in the ranks here thought enough of the idea to value the pursuit.
It definitely is not a one man job. bwaa!
The amount of time and involvement one spends on the Breaktime forum will always be subject to change, whether it be from the constant ebb and flow of one's lifeline or the increase and decrease of time in respect to the seasons.
Older members that have come and gone bought to mind.
Having introspection of my own increase of time and involvement spent here of late, questioning if am I becoming a troll, and realizing that all cannot remain as it is, it seemed good to try to implement something of a lasting influence for the well being of the forum is all it was, hence my meager attempt. Maybe in hopes to leave a mark or an expression of thanks, I don't know.
Be it for shids and giggles or answers and data, go forth brethren of the written page, in laughs and vents, thru up times and down. Fill the airwaves with good news and words akin to fine wines and quality cheeses. Live life like a holiday and above all, have fun.
Anyhow,
now you all know,
the rest of the story.

No, I'll have to disagree with Phill on this one. Gutters should be up there, not cattle feeders. And if there's any country that has a problem with where we feed our cows...we'll be done with Afghanistan soon and we'll all fired up and looking for someplace new to go. <!---->

Ah, Keith. Now you're getting close to the real meaning and use of the word gutter. To be described as 'guttered' where I'm from simply means that you are completely, utterly, bonelessly, vowel only speakingly, ####-faced, stinking, blootered, or rat-arsed, and fell out of the door of the bar comatose,....into the gutter. That's what the gutter is for. It prevents horizontally orientated drunks from accidentally rolling into the line of any traffic that's passing, and the 'guttered' drunks provide a comparatively soft landing for drunks that get drunk later, if you get my drift. The boys in blue usually come along later and offer all those 'guttered' people a nice warm bed to sleep it off, in a room with bars on the window.... and a bucket into which they may earnestly commune with God. Glad we got that sorted<!---->

so it appears i may have had some involvement
depends on your definition of may
like may as in did at one time or may as in will at some future time
hmmm
also seems the beginning of the thread is gone missing
lets have an intervention:"Rez.." "if it werent for you, i wouldnt have any profile info filled out, even though you diddnt spacifically ask me to fill it out.. I saw you rez-ing others""do you really want to give that up rez?"... "REZ.." ... "Im talking to you!"______________________________________________
--> measure once / scribble several lines / spend some time figuring out wich scribble / cut the wrong line / get mad
Ok, what invention do you want to talk about?
Is it a special stair tool?
Is it bigger than a breadbasket?
be a tool"Live Free, not Die"
yes.. the bigger breadbasket. I think you allready know what you havto do.. (im not quite sure what that means but hopfully it will make me sound like im one step ahead of you)______________________________________________
--> measure once / scribble several lines / spend some time figuring out wich scribble / cut the wrong line / get mad
You still carrying your tools in that crate with an apron deal you posted a pic of awhile back?
I got a couple of those crates for when moving tools on to a more involved job.
be creatively crated"Live Free, not Die"
good memory, actually dieselpig gave me a fancy irwin bag for X-mas(BT-white santa.. err whater its called). I'll post a pic.. Its a pretty nice toolbag.. easy on the back.I like those crate bosses too but i like this irwin bag better because its eisier on the back; the weight can be held lower, not out in front.. and with just 1 hand. plus its got a false bottom that fits two tackle boxes in it (i keep my clip-board it in) How you likin those crate bosses? I tended to overload mine.. it was even worse with the bucket bosses.. I dislocated my rib twice(previous injury) just picking the damn things up______________________________________________
--> measure once / scribble several lines / spend some time figuring out wich scribble / cut the wrong line / get mad
Crate bosses is what they're called, aye?
Valuable mostly just to keep stuff from scattering. I don't overload them cause then I'll never find what I need in there.

Rez mate,
Much as I like you I am still not going to fill in my profile. Most here know where I am and those that dont will likely find out soon enough.
and.............I mean this in the nicest possible way,

Everything, 100% of it, depends on how you look at it.

That's ok.
I don't drink Budweiser anyhow.
be beered"Live Free, not Die"
Just wanted to add
It was your crusade for location that finally prompted me to fill in the location on my profile after 4 years of posting
one by one it will get done
Well, that and $2 might be able to get you a decent cup of coffee down at the corner. bwaa!
be wishing it was still a quarter"Live Free, not Die"
lake,
Welcome to Breaktime!!
If you click on your name above (where it says "To: lake"), you will open your profile.
We would appreciate it if you could fill some of that in, especially where you are located!!
Thanks!
