Subject: Life Span of altar!
Posted Jul 16, 2003 by Researcher 234862
Post: 1

Why is it the the items below will only last for 200 years if they are made of stone?

"In between the statues is an altar embossed with a Celtic cross. They are made of Indiana stone, and are expected to have a life span of two centuries."

Er, pass! It was something I came across in my Research, so I added it in. Even stone doesn't last forever though, does it?

I guess wear and tear - wind and rain that kind of thing. although I'm totally guessing.

If you look at stone steps - if they are old enough they have those gorgeous dips where people have trodden...
