Operation cap stone. Tennessee lime stones for pillars: 20"x20"x6" - it comes to about 200 pounds. I bought them as Christmas present for my wife, she loves stones.

So far so good - but we shall see what my back will have to say tomorrow.

Two days later, the second cap stone is up. It takes four steps to get it six feet high.

I used water level and found out one column is shorter 1.5". I used thin bricks to build it up and I will just stucco over it.

Czech,
How did you lift the stone from one level to the next.

Making progress. Slowly. I bought these hinges in Czech, but they are Made In Italy. Adjustable as needed. It was needed

Gates look perfectly aligned. Will you add a diagonal brace across each gate to keep them square?

You do quality work. I'd consider you a Craftsman in this endeavor.

Being a Jeep freak, got a pic of yours??
