Back in the 20th Century I worked as a mason in and around Bloomington, including a short stint working on the Sample Gates, where I cut limestone for the right arch, and laid much of the brick there as well (in December!) Kevin Enright and I laid limestone paths on the court house square during its renovation, and with the help of the Breeden family, tuckpointed the 2 story Adams houses (at 2nd and College). I moved from being a Brown County carpenter to masonry contractor when I realized there were many more carpenters than masons!
So I am back at it this summer, tuckpointing and rebuilding chimneys, steps, patios, basements, brick/stone/block walls, whatever needs a bit of care to keep the water out. Below are some of my recent masonry jobs: https://photos.app.goo.gl/JQLTef6UqLFbKcVG9
As it worked out, some folks need my carpentry skills as well as wallpaper scraping, plastering, painting, window/door repairs, and other small tasks requiring measuring tapes, drills, saws, etc. As I recently closed my ebike shop, I’ve had some requests for ebike assembly and repair, so several jobs have come my way since, I am always ready to help!
