Post by: ToTheSummit on July 13, 2015, 07:05:16 PM: I received a nice group of slabs from Gina for my cab contest win also, but work has been taking front-n-center lately. The slabs sit on my bench with some preforms drawn out on them but I have had no time to work on anything since the beginning of June. I'm doing a big money job, but its out of town. I drive 75 miles each way every day and work 10-11 hours on site. Makes for very long days and no time for rocks. By the weekend I am bushed and get little else done but few honey-dos. Project started 6 weeks ago and will most likely run through mid September. The plus side is it is a prevailing wage job so I am making stupid money. I will most likely make more money in these few months than I will make the rest of the year put together. After this job is over and life returns to normal I'm sure I will gorge myself on some rock cutting. And the slabs from Gina will be some of the first on the list.
