Hi All, thanks for the nice comments.
Scott – The families doing well, our oldest & his wife have been down in Guyana for a month now and will be for another 8 months helping w/ ASL.
RickL – It was very difficult not having you there to get us through but somehow we managed. In spite of grinding the living day lights out of the floor there was even still a few areas where the grout was lower than the stone surface and had a different appearance. Just makes it all the more challenging to cut out the grout after all of your diamond work is done. To bad I had to leave two of the guys to do the regrout while I got set up for our last class. Its nice to be the boss . . . sometimes.
Tim – You’d be surprised, once you know how to do the work and start telling people all the things you can do for them will you’ll get the work. Today alone I’ve gotten calls from N.C. and one from Virginia pertaining to work in Pensacola.
Bill – Thanks for the nice comment. One thing I really enjoy about stone is that it keeps you guessing. I figured on this job I might be able to get everything down stairs done in hopefully two days (That was before we needed to regrout) possible three. Outside of the regrout it did take 3 for downstairs but we tried something knew in the shower upstairs and it added a day to that part of it. ‘Course unless you try new things you’ll never learn new things – its all part of the fun.
Albert – Pedro told me all about you and how he was gonna go home and whoop up on you now that he’d been to school. No obviously I’m kidding. Pedro was great, I’m really looking forward to seeing how he does. Very intelligent and articulate guy, I’m sure he’ll do well – it was great having him here for the class. I told him to make sure he keeps in touch so I can help him out as he needs it. These pics are of a job we did just before the school of a Crema Marfil floor. There are some pics of the trav floor we did for the school but I don’t have them here right now, I’ll post them when I get them.
Thanks again for all the nice comments, please let me know if I can ever help any of you out stone or any other hard surface.
