Comparing with the book .


It is often quite rewarding to go back and visit projects we’ve done a long time ago. This one was looking well, with all the young plantings ( seen in the photo in my book) now grown in and framing the small portal installation so nicely. 

Though he had insisted we. Build the small hole in the wall and very much liked it, the client had told us after it was built he wasn’t expecting the opening to last with the frequency of sizmic activity they had in that part of the state.  However the niche piece and all the surrounding walls we built on the property were all very much in tact. Neither the structural integrity of the walls or the colours of the stones had deteriated from what the original photo in HowTo Build Dry Stacked Walls shows .
