“I used, at the my house, the most beautiful marble and stone available anywhere. Surfaces are very important to me as a Builder. As everyone knows, I built many GREAT Buildings, and other things, over the years. At my house, I am very proud of the beautiful stonework we did in the Daisy Garden, in this case, using limestone plus. The Daisy Garden is completed, and far more beautiful than anyone ever had in mind when it was conceived of, decades ago. Three days ago, while admiring the stonework, I happened to notice a huge gash in the limestone that extended more than 25 yards long. It was deep and nasty! I started yelling, ‘Who did this, and I want to find out now!’ – And I didn’t say this in a nice manner. I wondered, ‘Was it vandalism or, was it stupidity?'”

“Lo and behold, because of the fact that we’ve installed the finest security equipment anywhere, they brought back the stupid people, with their boss watching (in sunglasses!). It was a subcontractor that was installing heavy landscaping on a steel cart that was broken and tilting badly, with it rubbing hard against the soft, beautiful stone. I love and respect great workers and contractors, but something like this should never happen. Now, I’ll replace the stone, charge the contractor, and never let that contractor work at my house again – But, how great is the video equipment? We caught them, cold” writes Village of San Marco resident John Martin Sprenk in a letter to the editors of Villages-News.com, accompanied by a video of the damage occuring.

Okay that was a little fib. There is no John Martin Sprenk or a “Village of San Marco” in the Villages.

And “White House” was changed to “my house,” “Rose” to “Daisy.” Everything else was “true.”
