This video covers the second year of building a mortared stone wall along my driveway, prepping for some future electrical, a post light base, and a short look at my fireplace (where all my stone work started!).
The video is a mix of explaining the project and timelapses.

Very nice! I grew up in New England, very happy you left the stacked stone wall on top of your new wall. These boundary lines are everywhere adding to the beauty and history of the area. You have managed to add your mark on history and added beauty! Well done!

Thanks! Yes I left as much as I could when the driveway was built, anything that was taken out was used to fix other sections of stone wall on the property. Can’t waste that old stone!

Beautiful project, congrats on finishing it! How many hours do you think you put into it/ how long did it take? Did you work on it after work/ weekends or full time?

@james.clinton 5 ай бұрын

Thank you! I worked on it just weekends and occasionally took a weekday off as well when the weather was really nice. The work shown in this video was late May to middle of September. I didn't keep tabs on my exact time but my rough guess would be about 150 hours of work in total. I would do about 8 to 10 hours of work a weekend on average.

Elaborate on the sono tubez please

@james.clinton 3 ай бұрын

Sure! The sono tubes that are built into the wall around the patio by the fireplace are there for a future pergola or potentially some type of covered roof. At the time I built it (and now) I wasn’t 100% sure how or if I wanted to cover the area. I thought it was be any easy way to future proof the area by having an area to secure structure to that went straight to below the frost line, that didn’t require me to try and attach anything to the wall. Hopefully that helps!
