Straightening large stones.
An angel that once faced destruction
due to safety now lives again
with only an hour of volunteer work
required by Smyth's Memorials
Straightening of the huge old spires towering 6 or 7 meters into the air or more is a job for the professionals with the proper equipment. It is NOT a job for volunteers. We highly suggest that you get the proper people to look after these for you. It is very easy to get hurt or even killed working with these old monsters. Please leave these jobs to the professionals who understand the dangers and have the equipment and know how to deal with them. However, smaller stones of 2 or 2.5 meters in height are often very easy to straighten using a lift or bars.
