Thank you. The "man of this house" fell in love with this header stone. He kept saying 2 things to me while I was on the project; 1 - He said this over and over, "You know the best thing about your work?........ I get to sit here and stair at it all I want, because it is in my house!" and 2 - He came in one day and said, "Dion you know, you kind of piss me off!    :(       I put all this time and $ into the cabinets, granite, huge trim pack, hardwood floors and nobody even looks at it! All they talk about is your artwork!"

 That, is the greatest compliment you could ever hear!!!

Dion-tell him for a little more $$, you can get rid of that wimpy granite and give him a REAL man's countertop that people will look at just like the header up there!!   Or maybe not.

Kenny did you work on this project?

Kenny, what is a "goe a lock on the stock"? And Nathan, no he didn't work on my project! I am wondering why people put stupid comments like that on the forum?

You know, my momma always told me I needed to let a sleeping dog lie, and I think I'll follow her advice for the very first time in my life. I hope you know how hard this is for me!!! I do so love that header up there. Glad I thought of it!
