The wall is all but finished! This morning I got into my stride with dry stone walling and with Islwyn taking the lead again we cracked on through till the afternoon quite nicely.Ok I need to wrap up the work with small filling stones and flat "topping" stones to give the top of the wall a good appearance, but I am pleased as punch with the result.
The weather is lovely but will be cold later as the skies are so clear. so I have taken advantage of the warm afternoon by completing some gardening and mucking out the pig run.Chris is working late tonight in Cardiff, so I am off to see Precious with Hazel....Oh joy, another film about Child abuse.......sometimes don't you just wish you could sit through a Walt Disney movie....?
Looks like a job well done, Mr. Gray!
ReplyDeleteWill be interested to read your thoughts on PRECIOUS.
Nice Stone Wall, Mr. Jackson.

Your wall looks great and I have certainly enjoyed keeping up with your progress. Lane
ReplyDeleteBeing from the south I have to agree with Randy--Very nice Stone-wall!!
ReplyDeleteAll I know about stonewall Jackson was that he worried about having one arm longer than the other!!!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, the wall looks great. Fantastic job. Have thoroughly enjoyed watching the progress. And learning about it too. Looking forward to your thoughts on Precious. Oh, what big project is next?
ReplyDeleteFAB ! we lived in Spain where dry stone walls were beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI see you are a WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER! he he- knew it would happen sooner or later
That wall looks great. You did that all by yourself? no help?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Precious is a great movie but seems heavy, not a "feel-good" movie.
I'll join the accolades here, that wall looks great. And now you have a new skill. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteVery nice wall. I know, since the wall I built, Husband said it looked like the dog had been digging up rocks. Therefore, I know what a wall SHOULD NOT look like. Yours most definitely does not look like that...
ReplyDeleteCat
decided your doin my wall at front of house
ReplyDeleteWow! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful wall. I didn't realize you could complete it so quickly.
I wish I had stones around here. I would like to build some walls. Ever since I was a kid I have been fascinated by the stone walls the Chinese made in the valley. Well, I was told the Chinese that had built the railroads had made them.
Interesting work there, what will be the next master piece?
