Re: Fieldstone Cabin
was carefull to keep stone from looking cut or chopped. Verry little hammer and chisel use.

Re: Fieldstone Cabin
Looks really good, and saved yourself some cash finding the stone.
I did some on the base of our kitchen wall, as there was rising damp in the plaster and the lime mortar joints helps it breathe. Like you I found all the stone, but doesn't look as good as yours. What mix did you use? |
