I'm currently working on the facade of a building from my home town. I'm
working from pictures right now, but I have the feeling a trip back will
also be required. I find it very satisfying to work on a building that I've
actually been in.

All I can say is, "wow". Again, great work Gary. I think your patience
paid off. I just hope we don't have to wait two more years to see your next
project. :)
