The stone guys, Dean and Derek, are back in the picturesque town of Cohasset, Mass. to revamp the front step of a 1950s Cape home. To restore the front entrance, they remove the old slate platform (which is cracking, shifting and weather-worn). In its place, they build up the new platform and set bluestone with cobble risers. Dean and Derek explain the proper way to demo the existing step, how to design a field pattern and how to set bluestone for treads and field. The two also take us to the quarry for a lesson on how to pick bluestone and cobbles, based on color, size and function.
