He is originally from TX and now living down in Fayetteville, so his girlfriend can go to school. Comes up here all the time, for work and play. **I know, cuz I'm his Mom.**
Both my Sons are masons, as were Dad, Grandpa and Gr. Grandpa. The boys grew up in the sand pile and Josh has been a mason since age 17. (12 years!) He has worked on many historical buildings and remodelling is his specialty. Does fireplaces, BBQ pits, patios, brick, block or stone...
He really does good work and has a lot of pictures you could look at.

(So you would know I'm not just prejudiced!)
Hope it works out for you...
