Friday's Before & After Shots
2 of us did this in 6 hours. Including loading the truck in the morning and unloading at the end of the day. If I could only get 5 of these jobs a week, I'd be all set.

Indiana Limestone risers with bluestone treads. Built in 1957. For it's age and our New England weather it wasn't in bad shape. There is a mate to it on the other side of the house that still is in great shape....AND there was still a small pile of extra veneer out in the woods from when the house was built 52 years ago. Notice the lighter colored stone.
