Watch out! My brother spent $20 Thousand fixing up a late 1950s Ford pickup (belonged to our Grandpa) and the people (professionals) who did the work were very very unhappy that he would not spend more - he finally had to tell them to quickly get it to a point where it would be driveable, presentable and run with no problems. My brother and the shop people had different ideas, for sure, despite the fact that they had talked about it (a lot) in advance.

We used to have "sidewalk Sam" here in Boston [ for 4 decades]

Sidewalk Sam, artist who turned streets into canvas, dies at 75
By Bryan Marquard Globe Staff,January 27, 2015, 12:00 a.m.
Leaning down from his wheelchair, Bob Guillemin dipped a brush into a yogurt cup filled with purple paint late one October afternoon in 1995 and highlighted the chalked words “For the Homeless” to complete a painting spanning a Government Center sidewalk.
Those brushstrokes marked the return of one of Boston’s best-known artists to his museum of choice: the city’s streets. Mr. Guillemin, who was 75 when he died in his sleep in his Newton home Monday morning, was Sidewalk Sam to the thousands who had watched him work since the early 1970s and uncounted others who encountered the chalk and painted art he created throughout Boston. On that October day, he completed his first public drawing since falling 21 months earlier while working atop the roof of his home, an accident that paralyzed his legs.

Just kidding about the "agree" but that painting looks MS70 sure you didn't just pull that from the net???
Haha, no I started watching Bob Ross video's and told the wife I think I can do this she started laughing at me so it was on I had to do it. This is my 1st painting it was not so hot but after the 3rd week or so it looked a bit better.
This was my 1st one not easy on the eyes but I had to try.

We didn't specifically plan to visit the 911 memorial but we were in the area and decided we'd always regret it if we didn't see it and we owed it to those directly affected that tragic day.
I was not prepared for the powerful emotion of this Memorial.
I'm not kidding when I say it took my breath away as I approached the edge and looked in. I could not speak for quite a while.
Pictures don't do it justice.
You need to see it live... in motion.

An artist who trained at Boston University and in Paris, he was rising through the traditional ranks of galleries and museums until the night he escaped a crowded reception for his one-man show at the Institute of Contemporary Art. “I went out on the streets and swept aside cigarette butts and bubble gum, and drew, in chalk, a copy of the ‘Mona Lisa,’ ” he told the Globe in 2007
