But if you don't have the means wait for a warm day and make the repair around 1:30 in the afternoon. Or take as many pieces as you can home and make the repairs, and then return and only have 1 or 2 pieces to finish. And, yes I have picked up my spoon and picked up the whole container with my mixed Epoxy with it. I was glad there was no one around but 2 Squirrels in a nearby tree. Jack

Ernie and Jack, Good to read from you guys again. This is the time a year I get to do the most stones, no grass to mow. But , I am fortunate to have a warm restoration workshop to work in.Makes all the difference. I reset three today and took three back in with me. What was so strange about the one stone that I reset today at Poplar Ridge cemetery, was that, when I get home I have an e-mail from a descendent of that cemetery asking if it was going to be restored, and by who. O.K. this is a cemetery that is in litigation over ownership and the Commission thought it would be better to leave it be until settled.The problem I had with that was that I found that stone last year while probing but left it at that time. The argument about ownership started two years ago when a tree fell in the yard, I cut it up and removed it. The adjacent land owner sated to the Commissioners that it was his tree and he was to sue the County.The Commissioners decided to pay him 500.00 for the tree.This was against the advise of the County Attorney. In the process of his argument about the tree it was found that the Cemetery was much larger than I use to maintain,in fact one acre larger.Come to find out his driveway runs through it. To make this long story short I could not leave the stone I found last year lay any longer .It is standing now while they still argue. Keep up the good work and Will keep you posted on the litigation of Poplar Ridge Cemetery.
