          O.K. I'll do it the first chance I get. We are leaving for 'home' in New England tomorrow, but I'll ask around and PM you with anything I get.

              Or you could just get some rocks and put them where they belong.

                I did think that too, but you can watch someone all day long and still not get the finer points, so a little tuition would help.

                  Al,

                  I have someone in South Australia that runs dry walling workshops. Contact me via email for details.

                        Great looking door! You have an excellent eye for what looks good! While Im waiting on a roofer I may have to jump on the door thing. I have several pieces of 1" CFB left over.

                          Thank you Garner. The door was a filler project, I need to pick up the stone for my roof but I'm not sure when I can get to it.

                          I am looking forward to seeing your roof material

                            Another filler project done, the granite ridge caps. These are the last of my usable granite, the rest are small blocks..maybe I'll make some pavers or something.

                            I just dry set them for now.

                            After the stone roof goes on, I'll make some sort of cap for the gable end....not sure exactly yet, but I have a couple ideas.

                            The small piece will probably be set close to the chimney when it's time.

                            They will be elevated on the ridge with durock, then flashed with two layers of 30# felt or ice & water...whatever I have kicking around.

                            Aside from cutting the granite into a rectangle, all the shaping was done by hand....again, I tried not to fuss too much, I want these things to look old.

                                Looks good.

                                Curious what the retail price would be on all that if you were doing it for a customer...
