In your cabin...

[Jack Taylor]

Hello, Dick:

Had to laugh at your interaction with the person in Raleigh-Durham!  Sometimes we Americans can be pretty hard to figure out,  As a local talk show host once said, it, "sort of leaves you scratchin' your head!"

Anyway, in a recent photo of you holding a bird in your cabin I noticed a stone wall area in the background.  I need something like that for my palace on Sturgeon...can you tell me if you did that from scratch or was it a manufactured product?

Like it a lot!

Good morning, Jack.

Thanks for the comment on my stone wall. It's the first time I've tried anything like that. I have a lot of finishing work to do, but thought I'd wait a year and make sure everything stays stuck before doing any more. So far, so good.

The stones are manufactured - sorta like chicken nuggets, I guess. They start out as rocks, get all crushed up, then molded back together to look like real stones. I'm happy with them.

When you get yours done send me a picture.

Good wishes.

Dick

Where did you find your materials?

Home Hardware here in Sioux Lookout.

Ah yes, know them well.  Thanks.  Will send along photos...probably this fall.
