Day 2 of the stone wall repair.
.
.
Did I mention the day lilies were blooming?
.

Progress was made, but it was slow going.

Building a rock wall is like assembling a giant jigsaw puzzle.

.
Where some of the pieces weigh 300 lbs.
.
.
One rock put in, two rocks taken out.
.
.
It requires a lot of contemplation. And more silent cursing of the wife who made you do it..
.
We had professionals come in to do that for us. It’s an amazing fascinating project to watch, but I wouldn’t want to do it myself. Stay safe

Wow, that is really coming along, it’s very beautiful and to think, no concrete to hold it together. The only rock walls I know of are those that are higher than five feet tall, they line your back or front yards and have mortar/concrete to keep them together. And they aren’t very attractive either.

Using concrete is cheating. No self respecting Mainer would even think about it!

Yes, well in Maine its called for “sans concrete” but in Texas, you need to use concrete or else someone will steal your rock wall….lol.
