Phil replied to Janice S Morgan's discussion Show off your best eBay find."That is a fine 3 down, 3 up chandelier. A few years ago, I got a 3 up, already converted to electricity, and with silver plated leaf detail for $90 because of a similar seller error. I felt a little bad about that, but I have made some…"

The front door of my house used to have beautiful double doors in 1/4 sawn oak with full leaded beveled cut glass. I found a set from a place in York, PA that will fit without having to do much…"

- Sorry about the spelling of your name (duh). I'm going to install it my self. I use to work as a stone mason and most of the installations were random stone on a compacted aggrigate base with 2-3" sand on top. I feel that the sand is more forgiving when setting the stone in respect to random stone thickness. When using cut stone the thickness will vary as much as the latter (unless the stone is hand picked for uniform thickness). The use of a concrete base cannot be altered therefore one must first lay the thickest stone first to establish the finished height. On top of all that the concrete is more expensive to purchase and in my state, NJ, or at least the municipality of my town would increase my taxes with anything that is perminant. The "free laying of the stone or pavers for that matter does not increase my taxes.
