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.:D

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??
