gtblum Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 This place was built in 86. The stone is a mix of granite and other real stone. Is this meteorite bleeding, or do you think it's coming from behind? It's a junk installation, but no visible cracks around this rock.

Mark P Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 I'd guess it is the iron leaching out of the rock. I've never heard the term "meteorite bleeding" sounds like a good name for a band. "The Bleeding Meteorites" The plywood by the steps is water stained - from watering plants?

John Kogel Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Unless there is some serious leakage around the top in that area, it pretty much has to be the rock itself is bleeding. Wrong rock, you said it. They could try a clear epoxy coating on it, but there's no easy fix for that one, and that rust stain will be tough to clean. Some people would be inclined to paint over the rust and hide it with something equally ugly like lattice and a rose bush. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtblum Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 The plywood by the steps is water stained - from watering plants? It faces north and never has a prayer of drying. The whole front of the house is a shroom factory. Click to Enlarge 55.91 KB Thanks for the correction. I'm tryn to edgikate my self more gooder at englsh.

Tom Raymond Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 The rust is the least of their problems, don't you know there's radon in that granite?[:-monkeyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 There's lots of iron and lead in the strata in New York State, that's for sure. You can clean it with an acid solution but the stain will eventually return. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
