Michigan Heroes Museum in Frankenmuth Michigan is by far the best museum experience I have ever had!
Просмотров 70Месяц назад
Take a few minutes to walk through a small part of this museum and hear a few stories of these amazing men and women who fought to preserve democracy not only in our country but abroad… some of the stories I heard today are amazing, heartbreaking, and sad but most of all worthy of sharing and recognizing.
Construction adhesives are NOT the answer

Construction adhesives will hold for a very short period of time but are never long lasting… it’s better to use materials that are strong, bond well and have longevity.

      That technique is used on rough stone with deep lettering. You haven’t seen me use that technique because I haven’t needed to use that technique. Everything I have painted has been polished stone.

    The other cause of sunken markers is the mowers the use now are heavier than 20-30 years ago and they mash the headstones down into the ground. I noticed that the also knock the headstones off their bases and they never get straightened back. I spent many days straightening rows up once only to have them messed up the next time they mowed…city maintained cemeteries are the worst.
