Hope springs eternal

The extra special Mr. Bill told me that there was a company called “Travertine Stone Products” on Rutland and Metric that might fit my custom stone supply needs. I called them yesterday and they said they thought they could help me so I went down there at lunch today. The woman who helped me was patient and informative and friendly and after I decided what specific kind of travertine I wanted and described the desired dimensions she said they’d get back to me with a quote. The quote was forthcoming about an hour later and it was for a price less than I had decided I was willing to pay and the estimated delivery date would be Wednesday next week which was faster than I’d expected. If the stone actually comes in and is anything like the correct size and color I will promote these people to the auspicious rank of Big Damned Heroes. With any luck the next post here will be pictures of a finished table. Cross your fingers.
