Stonemasons
Stonemasons often work from a set of drawings, in which each stone has been numbered for identification. Helpers may locate and carry these pre numbered stones to the masons. A derrick operator using a hoist may be needed to lift large stone pieces into place. When building a stone wall, masons set the first course of stones into a shallow bed of mortar. They then align the stones with wedges, plumb lines, and levels, and work them into position with a hard rubber mallet. Masons continue to build the wall by alternating layers of mortar and courses of stone. As the work progresses, masons remove the wedges, fill the joints between stones, and use a pointed metal tool, called a tuck pointer, to smooth the mortar to an attractive finish. To hold large stones in place, stonemasons attach brackets to the stone and weld or bolt these brackets to anchors in the wall. Finally, masons wash the stone with a cleansing solution to remove stains and dry mortar. When setting stone floors, which often consist of large and heavy pieces of stone, masons first use a trowel to spread a layer of damp mortar over the surface to be covered. Using crowbars and hard rubber mallets for aligning and leveling, they then set the stone in the mortar bed. To finish, workers fill the joints and clean the stone slabs. Masons use a special hammer and chisel to cut stone. They cut stone along the grain to make various shapes and sizes, and valuable pieces often are cut with a saw that has a diamond blade. Some masons specialize in setting marble, which, in many respects, is similar to setting large pieces of stone. Brick masons and stonemasons also repair imperfections and cracks, and replace broken or missing masonry units in walls and floors Because carpenters work on a wide variety of projects, from bridges to skyscrapers to tunnels, highways, and houses, the more things a carpenter knows how to do, the better. Rough Carpenters build scaffolds, frameworks, and forms for concrete, bridges, and other large structures. Finish Carpenters build stairs, lay floorings, put on moldings and paneling, and do other detailed work.
Veneer –
thin stone commonly used for facing block foundations, shows
mortar, available for most applications where block has already been laid. This
type of stonework is one of the most common stone applications.
Building Stone-
Thick stone, 6 inches and thicker, shows mortar. This stone
application is used primarily in retaining walls, fireplaces, chimneys, columns,
and exteriors of homes.
Dry Stack-
All size stone cut to match, does not show mortar. A labor
intensive process, dry stack is used in higher end projects. Perfect for
Residential and Commercial applications. Dry Stack looks great on retaining
walls, fireplaces, columns, exteriors of homes, chimneys, mailboxes, subdivision
signs, and more.
Custom Dry Stack-
A variation of the dry stack technique utilizing different sizes
and types of stone. Unique patterns and a truly one of a kind appearance are
trademarks of this style of stonework. Great for foundations, columns,
fireplaces, mailboxes, gated entrances and more.
Patio/Walkway-
Flat surfaces easy to walk on, ideal for transitions from
driveway to front door or to a main entrance. Also, its a great application for
entertaining areas.
