Stone work on entry

Last Friday, the stone masons began trimming the entry and front of the house with stone. Brother Bill tells me they can only do a few feet per day so that the lower courses don't sag under the weight of the top layers. Makes sense. So this pic was taken on Saturday:

It's painstaking work, they chip away at each stone until it fits correctly. Here are some of the pieces they broke off:

We took this picture yesterday (Sunday) with no one blocking the view:

Today, they nearly finished the entry. We had some rain today (needed it!), so they may not have been able to work all day.

We saw some rocks piled up by the back patio, they'll probably start that tomorrow.
