We had a mega wall building session yesterday as rain was forecast for today. After our son had finished work, he sneaked out into the garden and took some photos of us during our travails. I quite liked the 'undercover' aspect of this one! Thank you Alexander! Hoping for a visit to dad and 'my' osprey later today. It's very wet, so it'll be a short chat with dad, and the osprey may well be left alone for another more favourable day.
@momamo Yes, the ground is higher on our neighbour's side, (I'm not that much smaller than hubby) and we're incorporating the smaller stones as we reach the top, but, yes, it's hard work and we go through a lot of cement! Replacing the top coping stones worry me - they are very heavy. Fortunately our son is here ... he'll have to help with them.
@casablanca Oh, we so should have done that! Our son already asked us if we'd put a signature inside the wall. Not too late ... we have another layer to go before the coping stones go on!
The wall is looking very impressive. Well done to your son for taking the photo. Lots of employment opportunities here, spy, paparazzi, under cover policeman to name but a few.
I’m so impressed with your work...even a plumb line to keep it straight....much more organised than the dry stone walling I first compared it with....this is a build that will last generations so definitely leave your mark for posterity. A fave as I love the perspective!
