The challenge is on!  This copper in matrix matrix is really going to by interesting to work.  The first one has been round a week and I have to keep going back to rough grinds.  The copper can pull out of the matrix leaving a large hole.  The green material that looks like serpentine (wish it was jade) is very soft in comparison.  It will be awhile before I figure this one out.  

We were in Prescott again this weekend.  Trying to get quotes for repairs that would need to be done.  The difficulty is that all the general contractors in the area are too busy with new home construction that they can't be bothered with this.  I hate to think I need to be the general on this.  What do I know about electric or plumbing and gas lines.  I will need to start reading up on codes?  Ugh.

Thanks for reading......
