And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

Is that a bucket of glue to help keep it in place?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is it's a bucket of some kind of acid etching solution to clean the limestone piece once it's set in place. It looks to be pretty dirty.
DeleteWhy wouldn't they etch/clean it before hoisting it up? Now that's life on the edge right there. OSHA? We don't need no stinking OSHA!
ReplyDeleteSure it's stone? Those supports don't look like they are holding up something that heavy.
ReplyDeleteIt's scaffolding. Columns are self supporting. Yes, it probably Indiana limestone.
DeleteAnd they're not the least bit concerned about their hats blowing off...
ReplyDeleteI'd be worried about kicking that bucket off. Not to mention just kicking off.
DeletePity we don't build things that nice any more. Courthouse or museum?
