Geez, you build yourself a wall that came out as nice as this. So you figured you'd share some pictures and then half the people commenting are beating you up over details. It's your home Anthony, so if you like it I like it. It's a beautiful job! Everyone's entitled their own opinion, I just hope you're not paying to much attention to the "know-it-alls."
Thanks! I'm no expert but this wall is ten years old and looks as good as the day I built it. We liked it so much I extended this wall in 2009, then built a third wall a few years later in 2014.
Good for you! I live in New England and have been a mason for more than 33 years now. I love it when people take the initiative to build their own things. Hey it's the 21st century now and with Google we are all experts at what ever we'd like to be:-)
@@georgelamoree1569 I bought a 13 yard dump truck load of "gabion" stone. I honestly don't know what kind of rock it is, basalt maybe. Whatever is commonly available in our area. It was supposed to be 4" to 8" stones, but my load had everything from 12" down to tiny pebbles. As for the mortar I used this: www.homedepot.com/p/Quikrete-60-lb-Mortar-Mix-110260/100318487
You obviously know nothing about it. This wall will fail in short order depending on his climate. See my full comment for details. My point is that you have no foundation to state whether he did a great job, mediocre job, or plain ignorant job.
Thank you very much Mr. Watson for sharing your work, for me it was very inspiring, I saw him many times to notice the way he did it, then I applied those tips and built a similar wall at the entrance of my plot, I still do not finish it because I had an accident in my truck and I am recovering the strength in my hands, but I hope to finish it soon and share my work with you, cordial greetings from the end of the world, Chile
Very nice wall Anthony Watson. Thanks for the ideas I have been looking for. I am finishing my 14 x14 log cabana. The grounds not level and my structure in on round footings and I need to make up for the un level ground! Thanks again. Around Seattle out.
Really nice job! I’m building a wall like this myself and so I know how hard it is. It’s grueling work lol it’s not easy! So if anyone has anything bad to say about your wall, they obviously don’t work with masonry at all themselves! Good job my friend!!!
I used the piece of plywood to have something to build the wall against. It ensured the wall was vertical, and prevented stones and mortar falling behind the wall as I was building. I filled the space behind the wall with a drainage pipe, gravel, and landscape fabric for drainage.
great job! you have a beautiful peoperty. I got a chuckle out of the ups guy watching you. I have a background in the landscape industry but now I'm a letter carrier for the postal service. I catch myself scoping out my customers landscape projects on the route too. many plants have been planted based on my recommendation :) thanks for sharing your project.
+jason shuler Thanks! Yeah, the UPS guy visited several times during the project and was always interested in my progress. My mailman just kept saying he couldn't believe I was doing it. :)
Wow, who knew a real stone wall could be done in less than five minutes, and so nicely done at that! My stone mason crew would spend a few days - and that's three guys! Well done sir! 👍

@@AnthonyWatsonDIYhey Anthony! May I ask what kind of rock and mortar did you use? And how much rock did it require?
