Out with the old, in with the new old..

So the Tombstones I put up have about had it.  Most are made from that soft camping foam that you sleep on and after the years they've gotten soggy and brittle.  The others are store bought and made from that crappy styrofoam that crumbles when you just look at it.  So, I went to the Home Depot and got a couple of those 2" thick Extruded Polystyrene sheets and have gone to work.  They've been pretty easy to make so far, just layout the designs and cutout with a jigsaw, then lightly sand the edges.  I plan to drill some holes in the bottom of each Tombstone to house a 8-12" PVC pipe which will act as a 'sleeve' to hold the stones upright via some rebar nailed into the ground.  Here's some pics..
