Tim,

My Maternal side of the family were good solid Sctch/Irish stone massons and did a lot of stone foundations (before concrete was readily available!) Emlington, PA has streets that look just like that, my Great, great, great (maybe 3-4 greats!) built the walls around the cemetary and many of the foundations and walls around town and they are all still there!

Moreover, I am glad some work has come your way!! The economy is ICKY and work is tough to come by, it was a year or two ago for you and is much worse I am sure now, glad it has come your way!! BTW you better gat a "BIG" ladder, that is a tall MOFO!! Thanks for the picts!!
