15th century French limestone columns depicting Zeus.

This was a fever dream. They needed to be imported from France and set flawlessly.

A lot of my clients are high profile, and NDAs are requested. They don’t want you taking photos of their property for various reasons. You probably would know whose house this is but I had to sign an NDA on this one.

I was permitted to snap a few photos of them being set and given permission to share these few.

This one is cool af

Amazing.

We are designing a small ancient Roman villa. Hopefully can start in the next year.

While we won’t be having any ornate features like these (not that wealthy😁), it will be based on authentic plans. As a Roman historian, I’m a stickler for detail.

Would love to see it.

Once we get going I’ll post some pics and tag you.

The hired labour is taking good care of the 15th century limestone. Rigging with visible tearing, lifted from a tipped up fork, where it could have easily taken an uncontrolled slide down to the back of the forks, or worst case off the end and onto the ground.

I wouldn't show that to the owner lol.

The owner was present and very happy with the results.

I will admit, this was my first foray with 15th century limestone and I was holding my breath and checking my insurance policy the entire time.

Lol I am glad you didn't need the policy and all was well afterall. What did those Zeus pieces cost a guy?

One more note on this for anyone interested. That “forklift” articulates, (many don’t) and it was necessary to tilt to miss the top beam whilst placing the head. Also that strap is graded for 8000 lbs. All calculations were made before attempting to set the stone.

You should never lift off the end of a fork like that. Just FYI. The strap is compromised and should have been tossed in the garbage

This again?

Haha

Bro, ain't no thang. I've been around heavy machinery for most of life. This wouldn't bother me in the least. Youre concern isn't valid.

I’m sorry remind me, who’s concerned about what?

Chief white reposted his comment on the strap not be Adequate enough.

Oh yeah you’re obviously correct because well… no mistakes were make that day.

I guess you love your job, right?

I really do.

Wow 😲

Remarkable. Imagine the feeling of actually being there in the presence of those artifacts, it’s mind-boggling. ✨😮💥

They are all over Europe but yes imagine importing them to your personal coastal California residence.

Yup. I couldn’t agree more.

Wow, just wow

Was zeus a fallen angel?

Is there any truth to those social media "billionaire-lottery giveaway accounts?"

I know the ones on X are All Fake but successful scams tend to get their inspiration from somewhere genuine.
