The title.

Feel free to ask me stuff. I’m in Scotland, born in Canada. I’ve been a mason for coming on 15 years. And my favourite dinosaur is…not really a dinosaur…the Stenopterygius species. because they’re tubby not quite dolphin looking (apparently) reptiles.

    What’s the biggest thing you ever made? Which work are you the most proud of?

    And how are you received as a Canadian in Scotland? Do they treat you alright?

    Do you have midges in Canada?

      Biggest:

      This is one wall on a 7 tower site. If I remember right it was close to 75000m²(800ksq.ft-ish). Myself and 4 other masons rocked it.

      Proudest:

      The customer had to be talked out of going with 1mm joints. They settled for 5-10mm. This is cladding, pin and bracket mechanical. If it had been full depth stone, 200+mm, we probably could have done it. The stone was more in the range of 75mm+/- and we needed the room to accommodate the brackets.
