It’s crazy what a couple of weeks and a couple of rainstorms can do. D/2 biological solution continues working weeks, months and even years after application.

Thinking about everyone that comments on my posts about rubbing chalk across the face of headstones to be able to read them easier… even when told that chalking headstones is frowned upon they continue to defend their position on the matter.

Some people truly will never change their ways. It is absolutely exhausting trying to explain it to people… these types of things discourage me the most.

Preservation continues long after restoration. This is a great example of why follow up visits are needed.

I’ve gotten a lot of question about this sign over the years. So I thought I would make a short video about it showing what it says.

If you are someone that can’t handle one post about an interesting topic that is just a bit outside of historic headstone preservation and repair… or if you don’t like what I do here… you don’t have to announce your disgust with the post… or the fact that you are “unfollowing”. You can just quietly make your way to the unfollow button in these two easy steps. I’m sure no one will even know you left.

I poured this large 19”x19” block last night. Unfortunately it was storming all afternoon yesterday so this had to be done in my garage… which is less than convenient.

Finished the pour at 9pm last night and had to wake up around 1am to put in the bevels and smooth things out. It will be ready to be installed tomorrow afternoon at Dickerson-Whitsell cemetery.

I can’t believe it’s been almost 5 years since this repair… almost seems like I just did this one yesterday. I included an update photo from this morning in the video. Still looking great!

Here is an interesting topic for the day!

Past life regression… has anyone done this? If you haven’t done one what are your thoughts on it? And if you have done one what were the signs that made you do it?

A descendant contacted me about repairing this monument in St. Patrick’s cemetery in Bay City Michigan. Hopefully the first of many I will work on there. The base was leveled, lead wedge and historic lime mortar between the pieces the cross reattached and joints pointed with a color match mortar. I think it turned out great! What do you think?
