This grotto is my first dry stone build. I'm wondering how long you all think it will last.
I'm concerned frost heaves will take it out. I have some thorough stones in the sides and I wish I'd taken more time to use a better batter and use masonry lines. I have some thorough stones on the sides, and I wish I'd taken more time to use a better batter and use masonry lines.
I recently picked up a DVD of the film ‘Triumph of the Wall’ after reading about it in Nick Aitkin’s Dry Stone Walling book. I’m looking to pass it on, free of charge, to anyone else interested in seeing it. If more than one person puts their hand up I’ll use a random generator to select.
Heading to a seminar today/tomorrow to properly learn.
Here’s my collection so far, how it started vs how it’s going.
Any way of guessing how much distance I can get with this so far? Going to start small until I’m better at it for now.
