To whom it may concern:
Through the techniques taught at
Bill Child's Stonemasonry course,
my brother and I gained the
knowledge and confidence to tackle
my backyard.
With the information I learned about
footing design, correct mortar mixing
masonry tools and building, we were
able to transformed my steep,
unusable backyard into a terraced
yard with curved granite walls, steps
and planters.
This work was completed for less
than half the cost of a rock wall
contractor, and the final project has
conservatively added $50,000 to
the value of my home.

I appreciated the way you organized and presented all the basic techniques of working with stone.
Your artistry with stone is an inspiration, I was truly impressed. While I will never come close to your
skill and expertise, I enjoy trying to do as much as I can.
Thank you for a rewarding two days.
Sincerely,
Hubert Bruns, Duncan, BC
