Titled WOW Stonework

Description of Work: Dry-laid bluestone steps were built for my newly restored porch on my house built ~1901. Harry first came to the unfinshed porch worksite late last fall, took measurements and discussed with me the kind of stone steps I was looking for. We reviewed photos of work he had done for other customers - many of whom had much larger projects than mine, but it gave me a very good idea of the kind of detailed work that he does. We came to an understanding of what I needed from the project. It was important to me that the treads not look too new or crisp or have sharp corners of newly cut stone -- that they look older and suited to the age and era of the house. Harry returned this spring with hand selected stones for the risers and importantly - perfectly sized treads that had been conditioned to reflect the level of wear I was looking for. Over the course of a half day, the steps were carefully constructed, made perfectly square the porch, square to each other and perfectly pitched and leveled.
