  • This 7' high wall replaces an orginal 4' one. The video explains the ins and outs of the construction process. The wall is topped out with half round top stones and features a reclaimed post box that was walled into the construction.

    Очень поучительный и интересный рассказ !
    Многие люди даже не задумываются об
    отводе грунтовых вод из обратной
    стороны подпорной стенки !

    Another inspirational video. I keep your videos for future reference while restoring my old house. I have yet to require dry srtone work. Mostly soft brick with soft lime mortar at this point, but I see a dry stone wall in my future.

    I've searched high and low on the internet for info to contact you. I couldnt find any. In the comments on your video here you mention you are from Pendle. Are you too far away from Settle to consider some lime mortar repairs to my house? All i can do is hope you read this and somehow we get to talking job👍👍

      Hi Ralph, Hope it's not the Ralph McTell typing from below the ground..?!
      Many thanks for the interest. I'm currently booked up for the next few years unfortunately. There is a mighty job coming up at Dent. I've stopped taking new projects on at the moment.

      @dportercontracting9974 thanks for reply. I shouldn't be surprised you're booked up. Could you recommend anyone who knows what they're doing with NHL5? I m due to move to Horton in Ribblesdale in few weeks and have an iffy stack.
      My actual name is Martin- it's a long story! Your saying "talking from underground " had me checking to see if he was dead. He's still alive.
      Anyway nice talking to you Danny? Let me know if you could recommend someone competent. May your god go with you, MM.

      @@dportercontracting9974 oh without a doubt, great informative video, you’re a much better Waller than myself. I just can’t help correct people when they continue to spread misinformation surrounding who actually built infrastructure in this country. Seems to be a lie that is amplified and gladly repeated.
