A little more explanation so you appreciate the final result:

They have something here called sarro. It's REALLY, REALLY, hard water. Before I used the muriatic acid and sandpaper, I was chipping away at it with a knife.

It took me about 2 hours to achieve these results.

Good job, Lynette!
Kamron just walked in and was looking over my shoulder and he saw the pics and asked: "What are you looking at?!" It was funny.

You're brave and a greater woman than I. I might have been tempted like Emily to get a new one. :) Hugs, A
