needless to say the headstone DIDNT come in wednesday. but it DID come today! {friday 18}

i was so worried it wouldnt be delivered since it was snowing like crazy out here today. not mention the fact it was supposed to be delivered back in August...and they have rescheduled about ten times.

remember how i switched the stone to get it delivered sooner?...well we ended up with the stone i originally ordered....so who knows if it was just some excuse to take longer to deliver {which i'm sure they regretted when putting the stone in during a blizzard along with about 4 inches on the ground}

i was very upset with the business and how long they took to deliver. but now that it is here...it is perfect.

just getting there...
 digging the grass up, for the cement block to go into
 leveling it out
 lowering the cement block down
 they lowered the base, centered it, then put this putty stuff down and removed the sticks underneath it
 they put the stick on top of the base then lowered the top down onto it, centered it, put the calk around then removed the sticks
 removing the excess calk that was pushed out by the weight of the stone

the finished product...love it.
