Ringing the changes....

As some of you know, I sometimes get asked to bits of stonework- in fact I made most of my living out of it for about 3 years a few years back- and have just rebuilt a stone stile for someone over the last couple of days with my mate.

Its totally dry, with a tiny bit of earth for the hedge weeds etc to grow back over, and the very top stones (the spars) have a small mortar bed. The piece of granite poking out to act as a handhold is the top of a 5' tall post we put in....big and strong:thumbup:

looks good tom. i know nothing of dry walling other than theres alot more skill and knowledge involved than meets the eye, it must be like a heavy duty jigsaw puzzle.

That's a cracking piece of work, Tommer.

That's the way it should be done!

[ad15]

so THAT"s what you were on about...

[tommer9]

Cheers chaps. The customer didnt want a grandiose effort, but something that would retain the character of the original field/ garden hedge, but that was bullock-proof, as the previous effort was pretty mickey-mouse and the farmers livestock kept getting in the garden of the expensive holiday home.......there is about 7 tonnes of stone in it now.....

Not a bad view from the field either....
