This work was selected for the MC&MCA's Annual Excellence in Concrete and Masonry Design & Construction Award... funny, why doesn't it look like this in their pictures?

Not since Pharaoh denied the Hebrews straw for bricks has such work received such note. Ironically, 'Pharaoh' means 'Great House'. And they say satire is dead.

I worked on this building start to finish.


There wasnt enough money in the budget to replace the stone so it was caulked to try to prevent further decay.

Rounded brick could not be readily found.

As for the other picture I'm not sure what the problem is. I dont see anything.
