Pennsylvania stone wall project...:)

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!

He just wanted you to see his pretty smile! Catching them during molting can be bad, they can't see and they're generally grumpy.


Wall is looking great!

Nice wall! I guess if you have rocks, flat ones are better than the round ones. I've got rock envy. :laughing:

what kind of snake was it or didn't you wait to find out?

 

[Tollster]

It was a 5' black snake, I went to the truck to get the camera for these shots.

That wall is beautiful, your place looks great.

Stone walls are my favorite especially dry stack. Your work looks great almost a lost art, thanks for sharing

Hoping to have this wrapped up this week!

Looks great! Do you have piping behind it to get the water out?

I was able to lay 160' of 4" perforated and "tee" in at roughly 15-20 paces. You can see one of the branch connection is the first image. I started back filling with 2b Friday. I wrapped the 4" with landscaper cloth , and will likely put down another layer on top of the 2b before I fill the top 4" with topsoil. I hope it works.
I have to lay some stone at the base yet to control runoff, the local TWP supervisor insisted on the water running down the uphill side of the drive for drainage, that puts it at the base of the wall. I sank the first run about 4-6" below grade, but it also has a steep slope towards the wall, I plan on reducing the slope some too.
