Oh man! That is really horrible. I bet after he picks all that up he will be more careful next time. You should have posted a picture of the offender  Make sure I dont get him to work for me.

Sorry about the stone, I'm sure it's going to cost a few bucks to replace considering where you are. (once sent 3 containers of carved Texas limestone over there)
I did want to compliment you on the crazywork floor though, That is some mighty nice work. :Thumbs:

I remember when I first started driving a forklift. I thought I was doing real good. After a couple of weeks I started getting a little cocky, by the end of the day the boss wasn't to happy about the tire tracks on the back of his new van. I was lucky to still have a job to come back to.
Another guy on the crew saw it that done bodywork on th side, all he could think about was how much hes was going to charge to fix it.
