Pennsylvania stone wall project...:)

Nice looking work on the walls. Its an art to be so consistently random with the pattern and keep it straight and true, if that makes any sense.

Beautiful work!

Moving ahead with another stone wall project, this one is a dandy, about 3' wide, 130' long, and varies in height. I have a lot of stone after hammering a ledge of blue stone last spring, may as well put it to use.

The before shot. I back cut the bank on the right, then crawled up it and cut my trench with the BX backhoe not seen in this shot.

My stone pile..

Random shapes, and sizes. The little bota is working!

And so it has begun.

Wow, those walls are looking great! That little BX23 sure seems like a handy tool to have around.

Good start, it's going to look great when it's done.

Turned around after tossing rocks off pile to reach for that rock on the left, and this is the greeting I got... Left my undies in the woods!

Using a garden hose to lay out a radius prior to marking the cut/excavation area.

Staging more stone and some wall details... still a long way to go.

I used 4" perforated and wrapped it with landscape fabric to prevent and soil from entering. I got a long role from Sams, then cut it in half with my rapala felt knife while it was till on the role to double the length.

Getting there, 70 hour work weeks are crippling my "off time" production though!
