Anybody else do a bit

[Dean Lofthouse]

of drystone walling.

 

One I started in my Wood and the second, behind the chipper is on my drive. My only problem is I know a few drystone wallers so when I build one it takes me too long because it has to be perfect otherwise it gets critisised, bit like posting tree pruning pics on here

 

I probably get 2 yards a day done

looks good Dean, never tried it to be honest, my attempts at walls usually have some gobo between the joints.... at least with dry stone walling you dont have to worry about getting motar stains!

Yeah nice job mate. I do a bit now and again when needed. Handy for rebuilding/repairing whan a tree has been growing into a wall and pushing it over etc. Its like everything though, practice makes perfect. Im still pretty slow aswell but 2 yards a day is pretty good, they really say £100 a metre in a 4-5ft standard wall.

 

Funny how people in this industry can turn their hands to most anything......

Problem with ours Dave is that 10mm can cock everything up, I like to keep gaps down to about 10 thou.

 

The random grit is far more forgiving and looks the dogs if it's done right, you mean like the stuff on the route from Keighley to windermere?
