Information:
"Sometimes I wake up in the morning and I think of something. Then I go out and I do it. I do this, I do that. At first there was just me and the gophers and the moles. Then people started to bring things. And I find some things. Some people like to go to bars and drink. I like to play with cement."
"Fifty years ago, John Guidici's son fell into a pond and drowned. His sister pulled him out. John dumped a bag of cement into the pond, and while it was hardening, he stuck in some seashells and bits of colored glass. So began forty-eight years of building." This site no longer exists.
