I thought the rock 🪨 was maybe an organism called a Nautilus 😊 . Once Dave opened, it looks similar to quartzite 😊. Strong 💪 work, Tara ❤

So good to see you again and I'm glad you're able to make some progress on your home. Just so you know, plants will send out their roots anywhere they think they can get what they want and they are willing to go farther than one would think. For reference, it was becoming a once-a-five-year routine for us to need to call a plumber around Christmas time to have him drill out roots from our home's waste pipe (you do NOT want the details). Found out later the culprit was a barberry shrub over ten yards away from said pipe. That bastard did not die quick and clean; I saw to that.

Pumping up wheel barrow tires takes me back a few years to when we lived in Pennsylvania and had a wood shed. Every morning I'd wake up early, go chop wood, and wheel it up to the house. I actually loved doing it so much, especially when the snow was falling and all the world was still and quiet. Also, next time you want to open a rock, wrap it in a towel, then hit it. That way the rock chunks don't fly all around. 🤣 As for what you've got there, it's really hard for me to say. I've opened up rocks like that before, but I'm not sure what kinds of minerals/rocks you've got where you are in Ireland. Anyway, pretty.

Its probably a metamorphic sandstone called quartzite.

@VisionaryGardener 5 ай бұрын

If it looks salt, the rock is quartzite. It's metamorphized sandstone that was originally pure quartz sand that has been compressed.

for the floors, see if you can get yourselves a pickax - break it up first with the pickax, pull out the bigger stones by hand, then shovel what remains. best of luck with it, nice to see an update from you two.

Thanks Aidrian, we're just at the pick-axe stage now: see the video that goes up today at 5pm, and the two that went up before this one 😅

Looks like quartz, definitely some sort of crystal.

Hard to say for sure but it looks a bit like agate. I'm no geologist but agates have conchoidal fracturing like that and do have a nice sheen to them. I'd say it's a keeper!
