Eroded limestone ? Hardly .....if the lines are irregular they are "boasting " Marks made by the chisel and by hand in the setting out shed  ;if they are uniform (tight long and straight ) they are made by a machine whose french name  I forget ;but its simular to a patent chisel...best PY

Jim, 

That is an interesting concept, the subcontracting method.. 

Regarding my own business experience, I had to run through dozens of employees 
before I was able to put together a crew that was sober, had individual 
initative, could make their pay stretch between checks and did not attempt to 
kill each other at some point during the day. 

My dad's side of the family are almost all union carpenters and I apprenticed 
with Atlanta Carpenters Union Local 225 after grad school. My great uncle, who 
was my first site superintendent and my second cousin our foreman taught me that 
you had to identify and send the losers back to the hall ASAP in order to keep 
your family fed and sanity on the site. After a couple of years, I finally got 
to the point where if I watched 100 carpenters work for one day, just by 
observing attitude, work habits, and body language I could weed out the bottom 
10% without much difficulty and little error.

I'm the 1st generation journeyman so you can get a better story from my son
who has worked for me, off & on, for the last 12 yrs (6 in Memphis not for
me) so I spent the 1st 10 yrs 'on the bench' only later hiring people t
work. An aside - Mack the Knife in 3 penny opera has the query "what is
killing someone next to hiring them" he has a point.
Anyway I've had to make the trans from treating 'them' the way I wanted to
be treated to how they needed to be treated - they aren't an extension of
me.
I've worked a lot with Russians and it has been a challenge to manage
someone raised in the Soviet system (you pretend to pay us and we pretend to
work).
Yeah, subcontracting to your employees can be a little tricky but where it
works, it works. And it's just that much less you have to pay attention to.
Another thing I've been doing as of late (nothing to do with help) is
telling a prospective customer I have no idea how much its going to cost
without doing a "probe" which will cost this much & then I can give a price.
Works about 25% of the time.
Jim

Subject: eroded limestone question

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

I was looking at the twin-towered Majestic this morning - the 1931 building 
erected by Irwin Chanin, across the street from the Dakota.  Unlike the 
cast-stone lower floors of its very-near-relation the Century, at 62nd, the 
Majestic's are of limestone.
 
It has an unusual appearance, and I am not certain I have seen it on any 
other building in New York.  There are very fine, irregular erosion troughs, 
just 
lines really, all longitudinal, kind of like rain drops smearing across the 
porthole of your 300 mph jet liner.   They are not like beach stuff or wave 
action, like I see in other stone installations. 
 
The lines are all parallel to the sidewalk, so they were installed with a 
knowledge of the actual graining.  
 
Have I described this adequately?  Kind of like someone took a very irregular 
comb across the surface, although they are clearl eroded, not mechanically 
made.  But I cannot imagine what the character or method of the original deposit 

was to subsequently allow this lines. This pattern appears on 9 out of 10 of 
the perhaps 300 blocks (typicall 4" deep, and perhaps 4 feet on a side).  What 
are they?

Sounds to me (note caveat, for which our stone experts will flay me) like  
some sort of weak (coral poop?) or otherwise poorly-consolidated  strata in the 
stone , which may or may not have been apparent at the  time of quarrying 
and/or erection.

Kind of funny that the may-not-have-been-apparent-at-the-time-of-erection 
striations are 90-95% in one direction.
 
Probably just a coincidence.   Like the fourth gunshot from the grassy knoll.
