We call them the ROCKERS.........



They started stone casing the house on the west side, each stone had to be carried from down on the drive or from the top along with their mortar mix.


Everyday around 9:00am they showed up with a load of materials in their trailer. It only took them about 4 days to get over the hump on the west side.


With in 6 days, working up to about 7:30-8:00pm they had completed the west side and moved over to the other side and started right in.


Again working 12-14 hours days, they continue to climb the 35 foot walls...higher and higher.


About half the stones needed cut or trimmed as they are placed, a man, this wife and two brothers are the best rockers I have ever seen on a daily basis.


The garage doors are 10 feet high by 9 feet wide, even my mother in law can get thru this puppies. Over the arches we will have one row of red brick to break it up a little....but they have been working on the front and the back of the house at the same time......hoping to be done by Thanksgiving so they can move inside.
