The Art of Stone Splitting - Book
Archie...
I had to LOL at this "southern expression" I live in Missouri and
have heard it many times and always as something an Ozark hillbilly
would say ! Our courthouse is over 100 yrs old and made of limestone or
what they call around here, Carthage Marble. An old photo shows them
working away with small hand tools, etc. I am awed by the whole
thing,......I can't move anything without my chain hoist, hydralic lift
table, etc.......
