Re: Christopher Gray and, "A. Adami, whose bids and specifications have a
significant error"

Thanks for the head's up.

There are times when mistaking marble for limestone and vice versa is not
so difficult to do, especially if the "marble", geologically speaking,
really is limestone since metamorphosis is insufficient.  But I trust Chris
before most others.

Sometimes we service professionals are instructed by clients not to talk
about their projects on threat of damage claims, real or not.
Professionalism comes first, though.

One "natural man?" stonecarver who is making the rounds, probably claiming
to be able to handle more than he possibly can, is one Gabriel Popian,
Astoria, Queens, 718-267-8871.  He knows the vocabaulary of conservation,
and his carving sure looks impressive.  He's new to New York coming from
Romania via Australia.  His wife, Lucia Popian shows portfolio in painting
and conservation, but again, as in just looking at "brownstones" from the
sidewalk, looks may be deceiving.
