You sir, are providing such an amazing service...I tip my hat to you and thank you immensely! As you say, no one should be forgotten! Take good care now and have yourself a great weekend. Bruce and Otis
This is the most beautiful stone. I love the dark around the edges. So beautifully preserved in time. I was so excited to see you on notifications. Fantastic cleaning. God bless.
The dark coloring you see on a lot of old stones, especially when it's mostly deposited on the tops, with streaks and runs, is from coal dust being rained out of the air. This is from when we burned coal and had no filters. Imagine what peoples lungs looked like then.
The scripture on his headstone starts out by saying; “A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death, than the day of one’s birth…” The whole chapter of Ecclesiastes 7 is very somber, and speaks of very puritan character values. ❤
NO BODY SHOULD NEVER BE FORGOTTEN NEVER I LOVE 😍 WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO THE HEADSTONE CLEANING IT UP LIKE NEW THANK YOU I REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT I KNOW THE FAMILY WILL APPRECIATE IT TOO MORE
Based on the blue liquid used I'm going to assume you're cleaning with Wet & Forget. That stuff is excellent from my experience of cleaning and refurbishing old gravestones.
Excellent job. Looks great. I enjoyed the story/history about the family. I am from New England...Massachusetts. I can't believe the house still exists.
Here is a great example of how efficient Wet And Forget is cleaning headstones. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aOE2F8434fA.htmlsi=rjHlCZsZNTZhrnkf
I noted in this video that you didn't let it sit very long before scrubbing. That's not a bad thing. I found that giving it 10-15 minutes to set yield a great result.
what a wonderful job on this stone. Do you know what the stone is made of? Also what are the liquids used? I understand that you rinse with clear water.
I like your videos. Are are you letting the stone be sprayed down with water then let soak for 10 to 15 loosen up lichen , mold etc before hurting yourself. It will wipe up easier by letting it soak. Check out past perservation and atlas perservation. Great advice. You do great!
Wipe /scrub at this time. Then spray d2 let that soak again for 10 more mins then wipe stone again. Be sure to have the spray bottle of water to wipe each area as u go along. Try n see how it does. 😊
@@headstonesandhistory I agree D2 is harder to procure and requires buying it from a distributor online. Most hardware retailers like Lowe's carry Wet & Forget in their cleaning product aisle. Wet & Forget is easily sourceable and it's cheaper and the chemical copmosition is similar to D2 in that it's a Quatenary Ammonium compound. You can buy a gallong of W&F at Lowes for like $30 and it's $45-50 + shipping for D2 form a distrubtor. W&F imo has a slower cure process but it produces excellent results for the price. It's great if you're a patient.
