Beautiful! I love stone, and would use it more if it was’nt soo expensive 😉 I must admit to carrying home stones everytime I’m hiking in the mountains….cheap and good exercise!
Hey Rick how is the poker playing going? LOL.
I met you in Vegas at the stone conference a few years ago. My projects are progressively growing along with my crew. I am currently in chicago putting on a garden show where I have a 10 by 40 foot booth showcasing the stone that I quarry and salvage. I am interested to talk to you. I have a pond/waterfeature by a pool that I am going need to your help on. Please call or email me asap. I also want to show you a castle that I worked on in Cincinnati for 13 months. The home itself is a real masterpiece built in 1881 by master Italien carvers and of course some german masons. I am hoping to talk to you soon, and yes I am ready for it to stop raining and snowing in Ohio!
Thank you, good blog

I could use some of those stones, that’s for sure. I’m jealous of your supply.
