StoneWurx Project 2012 - Dry Laid Stone Stable Building located in Hanover Ontario Canada. The building is a total of 40'L x 21'W x 7'H. The stone is quarried Limestone (www.uppercanadastone.com) with large stones set for as the foundation. This built took over 2 years on and off with DSWA Certified Wallers from Canada, US, UK and worldwide. The building was built on the property of www.groundeffectsinc.ca. Wedding, parties and events are held at in and around this incredible structure. The project was organized and created by Dean McLellan Stonework. A wonderful example of a Dry Laid Stone BUILDING. I Revisited and Filmed this May 26, 2018. I had the great opportunity to work on the upper chimney and front corner of this structure during a 1 week period. Where I had the chance to meet many of my fellow wallers I had been friends with online for years.

That stable will stand for hundreds - nay thousands - of years! I’m thrilled to find someone chose to build a building dry. This is great.

[@Геор-з9ф]

So beautiful!

[@RockinWalls]

Thank you! 😊

[@ScotchIrishHoundsman]

I come back and watch this about every 6 months 😂

[@RockinWalls]

Thank you! Good times. 😊

[@georgegibson707]

Beautiful stonework, the building looks fantastic.

[@Andrew-pm5bg]

This is absolutely beautiful. Awe-inspiring!

[@RockinWalls]

I totally agree!

[@OldManFatBike]

Very cool! Thanks for the tour of awesome structure Mark!!

[@mrForestBeard]

Wow! amazing one!

[@RockinWalls]

[@user-ys8cn2gi3s]

great job brother👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹

[@LucasSommer]

Mind blowing honestly. Well done

[@RockinWalls]

Thank you Lucas.

[@LucasSommer]

@@RockinWalls no problem guys. Good stuff. I’m about to publish a video of my own wall - inspired by your knowledge here - so look out for that tag

[@RockinWalls]

Did you put up your video yet?

[@LucasSommer]

@@RockinWalls not yet guys! Wall is “done” but video still pending

[@mamuka-kavelashvili1990]

what a wonderful stone work..

[@mamuka-kavelashvili1990]

There is no more beautifull building in the world, than natural stone building. Love it

[@Zenas521]

Nice looking building.

[@RockinWalls]

Thank you. Very amazing! Fun to be apart of.

[@jason.martin]

Wow, looks incredible. Too bad we dont build our home with as much brick or stone. Well at least in BC that is

[@mavieskizz]

5:20 The locked stone application above the fireplace doesn't look right.

[@RockinWalls]

The fire place is mortared. I don't know much about that. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@sh4969]

I like to have a house like that.

[@RockinWalls]

Me too! Might be a wee bit cold in the winter.🤣

[@romanh2142]

is there a website with blueprints I can use to build something like this?

[@RockinWalls]

Great question. No blue prints nor website except for the landscape company. I'm not sure if they had any engineering drawlings. I was not apart of that process. Thank you for the comment.

[@janboa25]

Thanks for sharing. I was wondering what's the material that you used in between walls? Generally, supposing that we don't want to use cement at all, what solution can be used to fulfill small gaps between stones?

[@toonybrain]

janboa25 Dry walls don’t use a bonding agent. The center is filled with snuggly placed hearting (smaller stones). Well-made dry stone walls don’t need anything else. Friction. They’re works of art.

[@LucasSommer]

@@toonybrain don’t forget gravity. They need some gravity too sir

[@ratatoskr1069]

Are the walls air tight?

[@RockinWalls]

Yes as thick as they are I would say so. There is no insulation so it's still pretty cold. This building is only used for events. Such as weddings.... The main build right to the left not shown has a full commercial kitchen oversized fireplace and lots of room to set up tables or keep open. The combination of all buildings makes for an amazing space. Look up the Black House in Scotland. That's got everything thing. You can even rent it like a Air B & B.

[@johnbosco8209]

it is good

[@RockinWalls]

Thank you!

[@user-ys8cn2gi3s]

And show the whole yard from outside Brother

[@RockinWalls]

The full space is amazing!

[@user-vl3yz6ec4l]

👍👏👌

[@RockinWalls]

🙂

[@thomasthomas1359]

Can someone explain how the flat section on the top of the fireplace doesn't cave in? Thanks for the video it's great

[@fredygump5578]

Just some steel bar holding it up. If you look closely, you'll see a gap in the sides of the fireplace that has been filled with mortar, which looks like a slot for the steel. Pause at ~ 5:20, and you can see the mortar, and you can see the edge of a steel bar under those stones.

[@RockinWalls]

The Fireplace is built with mortar in order to house the fire bricks. All traditions methods of a fireplace box have been applied even a terracotta flue liner. Around the mortared sections of fireplace have been built dry without any mortar.

[@RockinWalls]

Yes mortated firebox and chimney.

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

They drilled them and have iron running through side to side and piece of angle iron under them.

[@tinderbox218]

A fireplace in a stable? 😳

[@fredygump5578]

It doesn't look very stable-y to me. I mean, obviously it is not used as a stable...just an incredibly expensive garden feature. Some rich person is showing off how rich they are.

[@RockinWalls]

This is located at a garden center, where they use this building along with many others for events such as weddings. Just happens to be called a stable. This is the first new build of its kind in Canada. Ground setting in every way for permits to be approved. Nothing else like it currently in North America. Showcases many amazing examples of dry laid stone work with in. The funding was all from donations from the community and I believe a grant. Has nothing to do with some RICH Person showing off their wealth!

[@avibank]

@@RockinWalls This is amazing. Was going to ask about permits. If I wanted to build a small stone cottage (maybe not dry laid) in Canada, with stone interior walls (so no foam insulation!) would it be possible? I am curious about insulation of stone homes in general and haven't found any good info on the topic. How do stone homes hold up in the Northern winters? Glad to have found your channel. Subscribed!

@@avibank Speak to a good architect in your area. You might be able to build a cavity wall: exterior stone masonry>air cavity>rigid foam>interior stone masonry?
