Hi Mark, if it was a wet Rainey day or you had a wetter mix it drys lighter, if you had a real warm day and you raked the joints out dryer then the cement is darker, if you wash it down with a hose and brush the next day it should blend in, the union guys do a light acid wash, it's a timing thing, thanks Mike

Hey Mike, I’ve watched this video a few times trying to solve my problem. My parents had a lot of concrete work that needed to be done this summer. I cut a 2’ by 2’ foot 6” deep square next to their mailbox to dump the leftover cleanup waste from the buckets and tools thinking I would have time to make them a nice stone pillar mailbox before winter. I’m running out of time but thought maybe I could build it in in courses over the winter and assemble each this spring. The rock is granite from a nearby abandoned quarry so it’s heavy and I don’t have the tools to move a fully assembled pillar. Do you think it’s possible if I map out each stone to build 4 courses separately and assemble the, one on top of the other next spring. Maybe if I put a wood form around each? I would love to hear your advice on this and as always thanks for all of your videos and great attitude towards approaching things. It’s really made a difference, Stone work seemed over my head until I found your channel.

Hi Mike; you used 1 Portland x 2 sand, then added gravel. Was that mix just for the base, or did you use gravel in the mix for the whole pier?

Hi Lee, gravel for the most part is just a fill to use less cement, I never add gravel unless I am pouring a sidewalk, etc, if that makes sense, thanks Mike

Hi Mike. One question. I would like to build a tall stone pillar similar to yours but maybe 4 to5 feet tall and install a wooden gate in between. Do you have a video on this? Do you drill in the stone or incorporate a piece of lumber and build the structure around it...like you did around that PVC pipe? I'm handy...but not a mason...but think I could do it.

Hi Splash, I do not have a video on that but when I did do one I let a piece of aluminum stick out from the pier and attach the wood to it. or just do it from the wood to the pier and use tap cons, usually in the joints so I could patch any mistakes, anything that works, I hope it helps, thanks mike

He reminds me in some ways of the guy who trained me many years ago but to answer your question you could use piers like that for a small cabin. I recommend you have them set there though on the land and in the ground not in a garage and I mean no disrespect to Mike. I wish him more luck and I will keep following him.

I've looked around a good bit and can't seem to find much info on using river stones to build piers with....so I am still a little nervous about doing it. the camp is going to be fairly small 16x32, but with 12/12 pitch and loft.

Brad Clark Hey Brad, I come from a small island where all types of rock has been used over centuries to build all types of structures from cottages to castles and I am very certain you can use your river rock for foundations.
