Many thanks for the positive replies.
Fantastic Eddie, speaking as somebody who has done a bit of dry stone walling I am really impressed with the neatness and workmanship. Also I love the fallen tree very impressive. Makes my parabags of chopped wood look very boring - note to self and OH - must get creative next winter
I think that if I was the OH, I would ask for either a quickie divorce, or make out that I had a wrist injury or bad back.
Other than basic sandstone, I have never done any dry stone walling. It is something that has always fascinated me though, and from speaking to others, it isn't quite as straight forward or easy as it would first appear.
Fantastic creations, but are they actually destined to be "used" after all the hard work that went into them?
Mine is definitely going to be burnt. I don't know whether it could be classified as art, but assuming that it is, I have always felt that art becomes stale after a while and needs to evolve or change. I'm going to give it perhaps four years before I start to use it as fire wood.
I have a very bad fault, in that once something is built my interest goes instantly and I need to move onto the next thing. I also have a very bad habit of never being happy with what I make or create, and this is sadly no exception. I intend to finish the project over the next couple of weekends, but the initial buzz and excitement has already gone.
