Thanks Nora,
Dave is a very nice guy and a talented artisan....He has a strong spiritual connection to his work and lives his life in a creative and ethical way...that much was clear from spending 10 minutes with him. I'm glad you enjoyed his story.

Rockwork masterpiece

I'm so glad to see your profile on Dave's work. Two months ago, Dave transformed my backyard from a nearly-unusable slope into a terraced sanctuary with dry-stack granite retaining walls and flagstone patio. If we still had the guild system, Dave surely would be deemed a master craftsman.

Not only did Dave create an amazing space with his rock work, he also handled the less magical requirements of construction (such as excavation and site cleanup) with professionalism and grace. And thanks to Dave, I now have a delightful place to sit outside with coffee and a good book. I can't recommend his work highly enough!
