Here is my latest project.
Looks like after so many years, I could still lay some stones :). I'm guessing some things you'll never forget:

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Some may not recognize this fact -- but we are looking at a lifetime of experience and talent.

Beautiful work, Sal.

That's really great Sal. It takes a lot of trial and error to get the stones just right. The grout really sets them off.

Nice work, all of my work is with dirt or greasy old machinery.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Quote...medical gas installations....

Funny you should mention that. I was once involved with installation projects in the beverage industry aimed at the USA. They said we needed to use medical grade or food grade CO2. Which struck me as kinda peculiar, since gas is gas. So I asked around a lot, and nobody had an answer until i got ahold of an old friend who once worked at a gas bottle depot. "oh, sure," he said-- "the gas is the same; we just washed the bottles off in the driveway with a garden hose, and then it was medical grade." Or food grade, I don't remember now.

Still wondering about that. What say you?

Beautiful work Sal!

Are those engineered stones?

Please show the finished slabs. Are these natural?

So,
Click the link above and look at the picture. Notice you see no submarine? That's because I'm doing my job. Either that or I'm listening to shrimp.

Sal, amazing work. I'm happy when I can actually fill a post hole with concrete, your skill in ll things you do is humbling.
