  1. My Quaker meeting is planning an outdoor amphitheatre made of stone. I want to make sure the design uses dry stone #masonry, without any mortar, in part because I understand this provides valuable habitat for #wildlife.

    I'm having difficulty finding any resources on this subject targeted at the #USA, however; most sources mention European animals living in walls. I have no doubt the same principles apply in North America, but I'd like local details.

    Could you suggest sources?

  2. I yearn to work somewhere with a quarry. Rebuilding a 200 year old sea wall using the same shore stone that made it is great discipline but I dream of stones with flat tops and straight sides, rather than wonky lines and so much time spent on pinning each rock into place.

  3. I sent a request to our library for @kristiedegaris memoir Drystone and now it has come in and is in the queue on its way to me. Looking forward to reading it. #bookstodon #drystone

  4. Received 21.7 tonnes of rocks for dry stone walls, an “amphitheatre”, and other projects in the garden. Wish me luck.

    5 more tonnes are missing, but will join the party soon.

  5. A lovely example of a less complex multicellular sheepfold ('buarth' or 'corlan' in Welsh) in the Denbigh Moors yesterday.

    The fold is likely 18-19th century and primarily intended for washing. This one has a (probably) slightly later dam with a portal to seal water behind at washing time.

  6. This week on Fern River Club, Bri & Liam come to help with projects around Lena & Carlos' garden and studio, and are surprised to wind up nude for the first time with their friends.

    Lovers of social nudity, sexual tension, and that long-anticipated glimpse will be ready for more.

  9. #ThrowBackThursday
    Dry stone wall, some 4 meters high, at the Moholt ironworks in #Telemark #Norway. Built early 1800. Abandoned in 1867. Then «lost in the woods» until the end of last century. Belonged to a warehouse for charcoal, with room for 4,000 cubic metres, enough coal for a years production. The work was done by at the time highly paid professionals and was judged to last forever, which – for now – seems true.
