ok walter, what is "pitching"?
ok, now i get it - pitching and napping is what one does at a baseball
game, right? sorry, couldn't help myself ...
simon and john, thanks much for your informative descriptions, as well
as the trow & holden demo reference - it is truly amazing that behind
so many things we often take for granted (e.g., building facades and
materials), or don't even notice, there lies a great body of skill and
knowledge and experience, which occupies the entire existence of some
folks (stone/pitch masons) - after i received simon's post, i was
walking my doggie and realized that the big property at the end of my
street is encircled by a quite lovely low "pitched" stone wall (now i
can be smug cause i know what to call it) - i had often admired it, but
never knew the method by which it must have been created, i'm guessing
around 1920 - i will never look at my neighborhood the same way again -
thanks for this new experience, and knowledge - edie
