STONE COLUMN REPAIR AT HIGHBURY ENTRANCE

UPDATE on June 20 from Stephanie Mims - Co-chair of the Beautification Committee:

The stone column has been repaired as noted below.

READ BELOW FOR BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

You might notice as you drive by that the stone column on the East side of the Highbury entrance is leaning.  Our beautification committee (with input from the Board) has had it evaluated by professional stone masons and received several bids (and expert advice) on getting it repaired. 

After an extensive review of the recommendations and prices quoted, we have accepted a bid from Matt Schultheis, Senior Project Manager at Brick and Stone Masters.  His recommendation is to redo the joint with a polyurethane which would allow for expansion and contraction which standard mortar would not.  He is fully licensed and his work carries a warranty on all labor and materials.  Work will commence within a month as the crack is becoming larger and risks collapsing the column.
