Interesting nice video, there should be some sealant to protect those limestone statues from degradation.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi 78. I am hoping we can do a few videos on preservation and restoration, thanks mike

My grandfathers brother, Joe Godino founded the quarry in west mountain. So many of the buildings in and around Scranton were built with stones from his quarry.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Bill, that's a big deal, amazing quarry for sure, thanks mike

[@ishowyouapple]

Thank you both for doing this. What kind of gutter system are they working with to keep water away from the limestone? Was it all through the gargoyles maybe?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi MG. I don't think they used the gargoyles on this building, but when I worked on the last building like this they were using copper and lead, thanks mike

[@sluggobrumm3967]

Great narration Wayne, very informative regarding limestone and its origins.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks James , mike

[@simpleforging3339]

so your favorite polka band got the blues eh :) My wife was born in Bryn Mawr PA and now I've got her up here north of the border. Soon enough I expect her to be my future ex wife and I will relate with track 4 of your nashville recording session. I listen to your recordings most days, thanks and it's good to see you made it

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, I appreciate it, mike

[@george.carlin]

I like Wayne's Beast more than the library's Beast. Especially ears. Watching Mike's videos make me organize a protest against plastic siding construction 😉

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks George, I agree, lol, mike

[@Jack.333]

Good Job Very Informative Thanks

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks John, Mike

[@bonanzatime]

[@BillWilsonBG]

Mike, is there a video of you guys looking at the architectural salvage? Thanks.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Bill, on waynes channel, it called older good things stone columns wayne ferree

[@pasnowboarderbear5298]

very interesting.. Hey Mike, any chance you can do a video on cement ponds?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, I haven't been any calls for any but most anymore just buy plastic ones as garden centers and build around, thanks Mike

[@rogerscottcathey]

1890 saw a downturn in dollar value and the modern equivalent for 1890 $100 is $2823. So say they spent only $100,000, it would roughly amount to $282 million in todays money. $352 million as a more exact ratio.

[@rogerscottcathey]

Not taking into account the time saving factors and machinery to facilitate it. But I'm thinking if an exact copy were made, not using plywood, or modern materials, it would still cost more than $20 mil.

[@rogerscottcathey]

Took me some hunting to figure out what he meant when he said "cronkets". Turns out he said crockets. Used the online architectural dictionary: books.google.com/books/about/A_Concise_Glossary_of_Terms_Used_in_Grec.html?id=_S4DAAAAQAAJ

[@george.carlin]

According to what you said 100 is 2800, it will be not 280 mill dollars, but only 2.8 mill dollars.

[@rogerscottcathey]

@@george.carlin : Ah yes, youre right. Good catch.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Pockets , good tip on that book, mike

Antiques road show in PA!?

Thanks, mike

[@mattevans84]

Cool video mike

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Matt, mike

[@marcleblanc7021]

Great video. I didn't know limestone is old ocean beds. To it is just more scientific proof of Noahs flood.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, Mike

[@fritzkuhne2055]

what stone is this water table made out of? looked like a redstone

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Fritz, usually if they got the money granite. But there are others local stones they use if not, thanks, mike

[@fritzkuhne2055]

@@MikeHaduck thanks for the answer mike!

[@MrBigtime1986]

It's a real shame that we lost the European design and craftsmanship here in America. It's all about bottom dollar now.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi MrBigtime, very true, happy new year, Mike

[@bonanzatime]

I've never been to Scranton, but my understanding is my ancestors from my father's mother's side are from a farm near Scranton dating back to The Revolutionary War (right after the war). He was a German Hessian soldier who defected to the American side the night before George Washington crossed 'The Delaware' (we all know the painting)..

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, lots of germans still around, Mike
