Title: Summer project..ugh
Post by: walkabout on July 09, 2020, 08:45:38 PM

This is what ive been doing pretty much nights after work. 100' stone wall thats replacing a old cement retaining wall holding up the driveway. Ive used just about 10 pallets of stone 40+ bags of mortar and im just a tab over half way. lol.  Thanks to DXT he saved me a lot of pre work for the base with his tractor.

Looks good. I saw all the pallets of stone in your yard. Thought you were building a chimney at first.

Looks like it's coming out good Ron.  One on two- two on one- one on two- etc....and so it goes.  It always makes me wonder when I look at the miles of stone wall fences around the countryside how long it took to make.
