Stone Work in Cold Weather (Brookhaven, Pennsylvania)

Stone Work in Cold Weather (Brookhaven, Pennsylvania)

Larry Shoemaker - Stone WorkerIt was the first day after a long stretch of cold days earlier this month, when the weather was finally above freezing and the sun was offering warmth for those who had to be outdoors.  Larry Shoemaker and Adam Keys were workers who had to be outdoors in order to do a job for their company RockSolid Installations.  They were taking advantage of the warmer weather to do their puzzle work of placing a stone veneer over brick on a marquee for the Borough of Brookhaven. 


In the photos you can see that Larry and Adam had already completed a bit of the puzzle.  Larry told meAdam Keys - Stone Worker that if he gets to a spot and he does not have a stone that fits, then it is necessary to shave a stone to make it fit.  To me this work takes an eye for detail and a sense of balance.  Wonderful work guys!

I absolutely love stone work like that. We see too little of it here in San Diego, preference being given to stucco, stucco, stucco, and stucco.

 What a nice job on the cultured stone wall! Looks great.

Hi Gloria, it is always great to see real craftsmen at work. They are doing a wonderful job.

Jim, Stucco is less expensive and quicker for sure. 

Amy, I agree with you they did a nice job!

Frank,  I was lucky to catch these craftsmen at their work and on a very busy street.
