I swear I’ve seen them – but cannot find them despite lots of googling.
Anybody know of a source? The real thing is getting expensive, and I want to use some for a retaining wall project at home.
Thanks for listening

What is a BARNSTONE?
sorry. just a big huge rectangular boulder. The kind you find under old timber framed barns in the midwest.
I tracked down http://www.redi-rock.com - pretty much what I have in mind. Chasing down the cost now.
They make those here..
How may I be of assistence...
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming.... WOW!!! What a Ride!
I need eight of the 48"x16" "top" sections. What kind of range of prices might I expect?
I'll get right on it....
What's in the plans for shipping... They are solid CC...
And they do look like rock...

profile says you're in colorado, I'm in RI. Don't think it's going to work - but I'm still curious.
I'm planning to have it delivered, or possibly have the excavator who is doing my grading take his trailer up to the plant to pick em up.
I hope there's a redi-rock closer to you...

I'm curious about the stuff you make. Got a website or some pics?
BTW - If you make fake rocks at your job, and have a bad day - You go home worrying about work - Would it be safe to say you had rocks in your head ???
(-:There is no difference between a wise man and a fool when they fall in love.
I always hear it as "I'm off my rocker"....
Those stones / rocks are made here.. I don't make them...

You mean the company you works for makes them?
Or they're just made in the town you live in?Q: Why don't Italians like Jehovah's Witnesses?A: Because Italians don't like any witnesses.
The company that makes them that I don't work for is 60 or so miles down the road if you can call that in town...
