I would be restoring that one if the foundation is still good… the workmanship and labor that went into that …..

I just drank beer and let my artist side flounder……

There has to be way to do it fast. I would love to have that knowledge.

When we do big stone jobs,we change positions on the wall because everyone lays stone differently.
That will look good pointed up!

Big stone jobs require big joints

No longer owned by our family, but this is the last stone house that dad built (as I promised I would submit).


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Cool peeler,,,,
I am guessing it was stone over conventional framing?

He used forms and placed rock and poured cement. We had the whole family helping to place rock and the forms were being added as we went up. I remember him saying that the whole process had to be completed in 48 hours or less for it to set up right. It did get insulated. The framing was after the free standing walls cured.
