Thank you guys for sharing your knowledge and experience. I was gifted a Hand hewed 40 year old log cabin, and i have a plan to set it atop a 12 foot shop. My plan includes a 6ft stone base, a 6ft wood beam and adobe brick cap wall with a grade beam poured on top. Videos like yours are teaching me a lot to accomplish my first home.

thanks for this great detail. One question: do you know how fast these guys work? how much wall can one pro put up in a day? and do you have any idea about DIY self builders?
@98jonnyjonny3 жыл бұрын
I'm not the OP, but stonework is part of what I do for a living. Speed is dependent on a lot of things. some can work quick, some people work a little bit slower. When I work alone, I can typically prepare 10-20 square feet of stone wall per day. That usually fluctuates with the size of stone I'm using tho (bigger stones allow for a quicker build than small ones). If you're going to diy a large wall, it's possible but you need to understand it will take you a bit longer, and if you don't do your research there is a possibility of the wall failing. As long as you make sure you've got a well tamped gravel base that's set level (I usually recommend 6 inches or more of gravel base beneath the wall), set a French drain that collects the water and sends it away from the base, set your stones level like stated in the video, and you mix your mortar to the proper consistency (about as thick as peanut butter) you should be good to go

(FYI this is a pretty simplistic response, but it should send you in the right direction)
@98jonnyjonny3 жыл бұрын
Also, just a personal preference, I use a type S mortar and I usually pick a mortar that contrasts the color of the stone (light stones, I use black mortar, dark stones I use light mortar)
@TT-dc2xd5 жыл бұрын
Great job can u detail the mortar type. is it hydrated lime mix or a NHL mix. Just wondering cause NHL is very expensive where I'm from.
@tonyflynn80775 жыл бұрын
Hydrated lime does not set and is used as a plasticiser with cement. The cement is too strong for sandstone and NHL is required which sets. Try making your own - Safety wear a must! Plenty of videos on utube!

First of all it's a lovely looking wall. However. If you built It with a batter (inward lean) and slightly wider at the bottom you would not need mortar. Did I hear "lean the stones inward"? All that would do is invite water to sit inside and then frost can do its damage. But again, nice looking wall.
