Crap Drystone walling

[tommer9]

Structure and appearance are unrelated-you can build a very solid wall that looks awful and vice-versa.

£175 + VAT plus the stone, which is about 180 vat a metre. Our bill came to around 28k plus vat.....out of 1.9 million build cost....

 

Edit- we started off at 200/ metre, but the building company we were subbying to (who are good friends) couldnt make anything, so we knocked it down for them.....they quoted 80 a metre lol.

Cheer mate. I havent really done any for about 3 years- i did it almost solid for about 3 ubtil about 2007. We (2 of us) barely managed to build 2 square metres a day, we are fairly particular...The joints are no thicker than a roof slate, and there are quite alot of slates that were split thiner to make packers!!!
