Thats Great David, That is the Master in the photo. Hands like a Grizzly Bear. I lifted ALL of those stones into place and hand mixed the mortar. The stones are all from the shore of Lake Ontario. To see this giant gent build from his head this structure following only what the stone tells him using only a level. I watched him place every stone. What a craftsman. Humble Quiet Honest as the North Wind.

Frank is surely as the kids say, old school. But perhaps we should order our jackets/suits from him before he drops a stone on his hands. :)

Regards,
