Stone Slinger

The stone slinger came to town, and when the dust had settled the job was done.


This machine can throw the stone 50 feet and the operator can direct the chute 180*

Looking down the south wall. Note the dimpled waterproof membrane attached to the wall.

Up close.

Sometimes we just need to sit and enjoy what is happening.

This was a bit tricky, a very tight turn on a slope, but he managed and got the job done.

Once the inspector has approved this work I will use the bobcat to backfill around the foundation. The boxes are forms for the concrete piers which will support the cedar deck.

Enjoy your weekend and I'll have new photos on Monday.
