Your restoration projects are always so interesting. One of these days I will make to drive out to participate. Thanks for sharing.
Tidy, tidy work there J.P. I applaud your passion and your meticulous ways. We all should take note of your requirement for detail.
Very impressive.
We love your work, and your writeups too. Thank you.

Always very cool to see, especially considering how many others would just as soon roll over it with a dozer.
Admiration. I aspire to do this type of work someday.
What type of glue do you use for stone?

I used a high grade construction adhesive Liquid Nails. The weight of the top stone provided a lot of pressure to bond them together. Then used a high grade silicone around the outside cracks after placing the angle irons on the sides.
Beautiful work.
How well did the elevation of the stone match when you did the 3-wire run?
The original mark is now technically destroyed. Will you be filing a RESET on it to get a new PID, or does that process even work nowadays?

Two thoughts about stability - Is packed sand sufficiently stable against settling? Will the concrete around the stone lift it up when water freezes under the concrete?
