thanks for the responses, have been working the job for a couple of days, took a bit getting use to it, but now I'm getting the hang of it and it's moving along pretty well....and yes, the pieces are very irregular, all natural stone, with a dry stack look to it...like putting together a very heavy puzzle

If you look at the initial pic on the first page you will see the steps are constructed from table saw (diamond) cut natural stone. The owners may cap the treads with timber after its been sealed. The whole tower is solid limestone. The in side face is just grooved motar.

These people are owner builders and are pretty hands on. I got the intial job in my skid just to clear the lot and prepare the slab. The lady of the house has been collecting stained glass windows for 3 years for this build. Their out building (studio) is the bit I like best as its solid stone with the walls a foot thick. The majority of the house is fast wall on the inside and limestone cladding external.
