In your Opinion, what would you do with 2000 pounds of free marble. Already cut.

In My Humble Opinion
1

The marble is textured exactly like this. I got it from a friend in Vermont who called a few days ago and said he had roughly 2000 pounds of cut green marble. In all lengths and widths. And he asked if I wanted it. He got it from an old forclosure he had just purchased.*

I said…Hell yeah! of course I wanted it.

But now that it’s all sitting in my barn out back…I have absolutely no clue what I am going to do with it. It’s very nice, I really like it, but I have no clue. There is nice terra cotta tile in my kitchen…I suppose I could make a patio or counter top…somewhere?

Any doper masons, backyard carpenters, real live carpenters…who have any ideas? I’m all ears.
*He buys up properties in VT and NH and fixes them up…he is not a collector of anything, and he always calls me if he finds something neat…good friend to have :slight_smile:

      • “Cut” you mean as in, “cut into flooring tiles”? Or just 2000 pounds of blocks of marble?.. (flooring tile in all lengths and widths?)

Sorry…Yes, flooring tile. Not blocks. Actually, not really tile at all. Long planks. They vary from 9 inches to 12 inches wide, and 5, 7,10 feet long, by about an inch and a quarter.

Sounds like a good bathroom floor to me. But then, maybe that just springs to mind because I have this heinous sorta-bathroom in my basement that needs to be completely rebuilt.

I don’t suppose you can squidge marble back together again like play-dough? If you can, then obviously a large statue of yourself is in order.

Really fancy picnic table! YAAAAYYY!

Or, buy some cheap, glass-topped furniture, & have it cut to fit.

7

It doesn’t quidge itself back together but hey a large Rodan-esque ‘thinker’ depiction of myself might be nice :slight_smile:

It is clean, meaning unused. looks like someon cut it and never used it. Most reconditioned marble and such still has the original mortar attached. this stuff is clean. I bought myself one of these a while back. It’ll cut the marble like it’s butta!

I second **Bosda’s ** suggestion. Go get some glass-topped tables, and substitute the marble. Then hit a flea market and sell them for a substantial profit! Or get a quantity of white marble and start making chess boards. If you have enough of it, use it as baseboard in your office. Accent your kitchen. Make your cat a really fancy catbox. :smiley:

Fireplace surround

If you have the space, it would make a great patio floor in a meditation garden gazbo.

11

It would look even better in a gazebo :smack:

12

datoad - Very good idea. It would be very cool in the summer time :slight_smile:

13

You could turn it into a couple thousand tombstones for Hamsters and gerbils and guinea pigs, sell it on ebay, and become the rodent headstone king of America.

14

You can slap it in a truck and bring it over to my house and install it?

:wink:

15

Countertops would be great. Also a dining room table or patio table or two would be cool. I like DaToad’s suggestion too.

16

A bigass cutting board.

A giant sacrificial table in the backyard for offerings to dark, evil gods.

17

Bad plan!

BAD, BAD PLAN! :eek:

Marble is slippery when wet!!!

18

Build yourself a half-pipe in your backyard for all the local sk8r bois.

Or just dump it on the highway right before the exit where you enter for your daily commute, so that you can have the whole highway for yourself.

19

Build a giant map of the world. I don’t know why, just do it.

Have kids? Make a paddle out of one of them. (The blocks of marble, I mean, not the kid.) Be sure to drill a couple holes so that it moves through the air better. (Again, I mean in the marble, not the kid.)
