I just wanted to sincerely thank you for your instructional DVDs on "faux" rock building.
I have had the DVDs for over a year now, but have just only recently had time to apply the knowledge to a real sculpture.
I have to tell you that I got such pleasure out of creating this sculpture that I am planning on a water feature next spring.
I want to relate to you a small story leading up to my purchasing of your tapes; I am not in the pool business and I am not a mason, I just wanted to do something creative so I looked on the internet and ran across a company that was giving a seminar in Akron. I signed up right away.
When I arrived there were probably 30 people in the 2 day class. Although initially intrigued by how quick the features could be finished (2 to 3 days) I was disappointed by the appearance as well as the fact that the company providing the seminar was just pushing their pre-packaged product, which by the way was exorbitantly priced.
I seemed to be the only one there that was wondering why we couldn't just make our own formulas. Being a total novice I didn't know what was in the formulas that is until I received your DVDs and manual.
I was dissatisfied with the whole weekend and went back on the internet and I found your company - thank God! By the way, I don't think I should mention the company's name, but the pre-packaged bags had only obviously contained polystyrene beads and cement. They were very cautious and secretive about the mixes such as the hydro seal.
I have to laugh now. I am very fortunate that I found your company and ordered your DVDs. I only regret not having been able to attend your classes. Your willingness to share your formulas has been invaluable to me and my hat is off to your company.
I now have something exciting to look forward to - a more creative me. Thank you so much!
