The Cornerstone
August 2, 2008
Builder Scott was mentioning for quite some time that we should have some sort of cornerstone for the Recycled House. I was rather ambivalent, but he kept mentioning it. Then, one day, I get something in the mail from a company called W.A. Hartman. It’s a big piece of paper, with “401 B Hedge” on it. It’s a pattern of some sort.
I mention this to Scott. He’s pleased that I’ve got it. W.A. Hartman is the local tombstone company. He’s contracted with them to carve us a cornerstone. They’ve sent the proof. They want a grand total of $34 for it.
I happily agree. We make some modifications to the layout. They make it. We send it back a few times, because we want to background to be brown, not black. So it ends up costing like $100. It’s nice, though, don’t you think?

Considering the current reality of our economy your cornerstone if very prescient Debra. Hope you can keep the final tab under $100K when all is tallied but in any case you will have a $ pump in your backyard providing hedge protection against market vulgarities. Brava!
