And the google earth thing is unbelieveably impressive in a geekizoid kinda way -- it would appear that your home is quite safe from the Huns, Mongols and Turks! It’s beautiful!

I do have a sense of satisfaction, especially since I sit on my butt most of the day. Your mountain stone project sounds like it has a good basis, whatever you decide to do with the materials. After I finished the wall in front, I had not enough stone to do anything reasonable with, so my wife asked me to put up a couple of short walls on either side of a path between the trees in the back of our house. They're not really walls; both are three or four feet tall, but only two feet wide and maybe four feet long. I arranged one to look as if it was in the process of falling to pieces, which was fun. (It actually looks more like it was simply not completed, but, oh well.) Thanks! I do have a sense of satisfaction, especially since I sit on my butt most of the day.

We had a stone porch pulled down a couple of years back and big plans on what to do with mountain stones that came from it - very nice, mostly very large rocks. Today, they still sit in a pile in the back. I did use some river rock to make a nice flower bed on the slope around the mailbox, but nothing on this scale. Judging by the amount of work that went into that, and the satisfaction from seeing it done, I expect the work and satisfaction from the projects you've photographed above were enormous. Very good work. Very worthwhile. We had a stone porch pulled down a couple of years back and big plans on what to do with mountain stones that came from it - very nice, mostly very large rocks.
