Talking about Granite

On Wednesday, Feb. 20, the Building Stone Institute is bringing a team of people from across the nation to talk about Granite. Topics at the day-long class include Sustainable Buildings Using Masonry to Maximize LEED Credits, Quarrying and Fabrication, Granite Testing and Evaulating Existing Stone Buildings, Installation, Care and Maintennance of Granite; and Common Problems and Solutions.
Granite has been quarried for thousands of years and is the most durable of the natural stones. Successful Granite projects require a close collaboration between the designers and the craftsmen involved in quarrying, fabrication and construction.
The class is presented by the Building Stone Institute, contact them at http://www.buildingstoneinstitute.org/education.html if you want to register last-minute for the course. There are a handful of seats still available.
