3 Crows and 1200 Bricks

  Finished up the brickwork at 3 Crow and everyone seemed satisfied with the results, including ourselves. It was a nice project and I hate to leave. I say it again and again, but it's always a pleasure working with Endeavour, with the Masseys, and Tom Potter and Donny. Looking forward to going back this weekend to address some floor drains.

The Ice Palaces of Rock City

  I first noticed this a few weeks ago, when we started the 3 Crow brick job. I saw what looked like the top of an ice tower sticking up over the trees and I pointed it out to Damon. "What the hell is that?" he asked, but we just kind of forgot about it. Then, yesterday, Mr. Don Savarese and I took a walk down the street to check it out. Pretty impressive up close. It appears to be some kind of steam exhaust chimney from the water treatment plant. Steam is still shooting out the top, then condensing in the cold and freezing upon impact with the other ice. A kind of living, growing, ice sculpture. I wonder if it will take over the entire town?
