Re: DIY Mason


If you stand back 5-600 feet and squint your eyes real hard you barely notice.

He is a hell of a landscaper too! If they are happy that is all that matters, hope they never try to sell!

I'm sure he will be collecting bids shortly to just "polish it up a bit, I already did all the major work".

Re: DIY Mason
