Tight clean work. I like the rock and brick used tgether like that. Did he let you lay it or did the designer/architect draw the pattern?

I like the brick and stone combo. I am finishing a job this week that I have been working on for the last two and a half months. It has 15,000 brick and 940sqft of cultured stone if you all would like to see some pics of it I can post some when I get it finished.

"and one more pic to show how you can put a 10 dollar saddle on a 100 dollar horse."

But after watching you lay it, it looks so easy!!!

That is really nice work, Stacker, thanks for the pics.

Who's the guy in the banker's window with the shotgun pointed at you?

BTW, I think that dog was about to critique your work.

Nice work ^^

Re: Pix Of My Work


Looks Good Stacker,

I too like the brick and stone look. As far as the steps I gues he got what he paid for....now he can pay to have someone do them right. Reminds me of the tagline one of the members of this forum has...."cheapest prices in town, you only pay once."

It looks to me in the picture of the gothic arch over the window that the point of it is a little off center right. It might be the ghostly figure in the window throwing me off.

Good Job
Tim

Re: Pix Of My Work


that ghostly figure in the window is me.
and yes the arch is a little off center.i didnt make a rough buck for the arch and just free handed stone inside the arch with my brick hammer,and followed that with the bats.

Re: Pix Of My Work


looks like the joint on your bay window is off. And also on your column with the arch your saw cuts need a little work......but over all it wasnt that bad. I have seen worse....but I have also seen a alot better.

THANKS FOR POSTING
