meadowfield 2,619 #1 Posted July 2, 2018 Been a bit slow with some of my projects as of late, we have a lot of general maintenance to do around our property. Also the garden needs some tlc too after the previous owner in her 90's gave up. Here's some good old fashioned 'yorkshire' dry stone walling, done as part of the work to hold up the lane where the water is starting to wash it away. When it rains in the North of England it rains! Hopefully back onto wheel horse projects for the rest of summer what it looked like as we started to shore it up another dry day and the arch going in another reminder of why it gets washed away (this is the entrance) making top stones from other corner stones - wonder how long the new stone will take to get that 200 year old patina finished! 13 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give the new stone a coating of cow dung or sheep droppings. already started on the other side - by piling big rocks around! I think the leaf mould and moss will age it quickly - I also know that that stuff that keeps foxes away turns things green quickly too 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 761 #10 Posted July 5, 2018 Superb job Mark. Loved doing Walling and Bricklaying, but I'm slow. That Coping will age pronto in that environment there., If you want to accelerate it, slap an out of date Yoghurt over it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
