Awsome work. She should write a book on how to do stone restoration.

The latest. I think she's done.

Wow... Compare those shots to the ones at the beginning of the thread, and you can really see how her skill has improved. What a cool project.

I really must share this thread with my bro. He builds dry stone walls for a living. I think he'd really like what your peeps have been up to.

This is brilliant HM. I am in awe of your Mom.

Wow, Happy Monkey, those steps came out great!

so your Mom is a Stone Mason, and your Dad is a Master Carpenter. And you chose Scotch Tape as your medium!?!

deja vu

Where's the ADA-compliant ramp!?! Just kidding, great work.

D'OH

Seriously? I thought that was on purpose.

Did your brain really come up with the same response 6 years later? I think that's pretty cool if it did.

i guess it did. I don't know how cool that is. seems more like my sense of humor is in a serious rut.

I suppose you could look at it that way. But, I think it's cool that when given a certain stimulus, your brain fires in the same way. I say "your," but I bet it's true of all of us. Better to be tried and true than some fickle flibbertigibbet.

Yeah, I think it shows sincerity. Your gut reaction wasn't significantly altered by what was going on in your life then vs. now, or what your relationship was to HM then vs. now. It proves that you are the same person that you present yourself to be.

Damn, HM, that'll make you think twice before you give her any lip. :haha:
