Yes. There's some interesting stuff in the observation level of the National Cathedral. Some of the pieces are amazingly complicated.

She's done patios out of brick before, and she and my dad did some repair and restoration work on an old foundation next to the house. She's got several books, but I think she's mostly self-taught.
