As your "preferred" stone specialist, you would expect me to tell you the truth about any stone issue out there.

The most common misunderstanding about caulking is, “How do you pronounce it?” Now I don’t want to be improper here so here’s my best attempt without a voice recording for you to listen to, but It’s pronounced, Ca-ulk-ing.

You know the saying, "When you point your finger at someone, there are 3 pointing back at you."

I hope we get a grip on this soon because evidently there is an ammunition shortage in the US!
I may seem hypocritical because we are offering Covid Disinfecting and Sanitization for a virus that (I believe) is not so deadly. Read this Newsletter and discover why I think there is some bad math going on from the experts.
Have you found yourself not knowing what day of the week it is? Our routines are so upside down because of this Corona Virus Stay Vaca, I phase out sometimes not sure what the heck I’m doing. I’m not completely lost, it’s just that I find myself sitting around at home feeling like Bill Murray in the movie, 'Ground Hog Day'. Kerri and I truly are running out of new things to talk about.
