brad bolton : photos : goodbye to my childhood home : Hauling the slates up the stairs. Sharon helped with the first slate, but I realized that Shawn could use more help, so I helped haul the last 2 slates. They seemed to be about 175 pounds each. Not as bad as I feared - I read that they would weigh 300 pounds each.- powered by SmugMug

brad bolton > Shane and Sharon came from Johnson City, TN, to pick up the table.

brad bolton > After the felt was removed, the 3 slate slabs were revealed. Plaster had been placed to fill in the gaps between the slates, and over the screws that held them in place.

brad bolton > The slates in the trailer - note wood spacers to prevent movement and chipping of the slates.
