This is over 8 foot long granite Memorial for 9-11, including 3,000+ names & original artwork. I can't even calculation the number of hours I have in this project. I'm donating my services... However there are 2 news crews & at least 1 newspaper covering it's dedication on the Anniversary.

That's embarrassing: The title should read: Latest GRANITE Project. I think, I've been working too many hours.

This is really incredible and a great gesture Tim. It's giving me a cold rush to see that. I also still remember watching it in the internet at work when it happened. At that time my uncle, who workes in the Pentagon, and my aunt where over here in Germany at my mom's house. I rushed over there to them, they didn't know about it at the time. We all were horrified. They could not go back to the US for the first time and my uncle could not reach anybody by phone to find out about his friends an colleagues.
I'm absolutely with that statement - I will never forget

Brace yourself work is coming!!!!
Someone said long ago (not sure who)
So many of us quit without ever realizing how close they were to success.
I know how good if feels when you work is finally realized, just a note of
caution NEVER mention "Donated" in an interview! ;-)

Well... I didn't charge anything, but when I delivered it last night the owners of the pub where so excited, they gave me a chit for unlimited meals - the only stipulation is I must tip the waitress. So I guess this turned into a barter arrangement.Originally Posted by Martin Boekers

Heading should read "Latest Greatest Granite Project"
That had to be a major pain, you would have to donate, could never get $ out of it for the time spent.
Paid or not, the end result is very impressive.

Very nice Tim. I'm sure you'll receive compliments for quite some time. You should leave business cards beside it. Your name will certainly get out there!

Nicely designed, Tim, it's one of those things that looks good from a distance and then takes on more meaning the closer you get to it. Glad to see you signed it too.
cheers, dee

Very nice Tim. How is it going to be displayed? What size are the tiles?
I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and I think, "Well, that’s not going to happen."
