I carefully took it all apart and laid out the stone on the ground in
rough
size order. I then did as he did and made a wooden frame the shape of the
finished wall that I could move along as I built each layer. I never did
get the hang of his main piece of advice "once you pick up a stone always
use it, never put it back down and choose another" it probably would have
saved a bit of back ache if I had. The finished wall is a lot safer
looking than what I started with but no where near as neat as his.

I still haven't finished the wall but not much more to do, I took the
advice you passed on to me - once you pick up a stone always use it - it
really does work and I have saved myself a bit of back ache :-) thanks

Glad to be of help, even if the tip was second-hand.

Perhaps you would like to come to Leyburn for further practise as I have
just today noticed a great bulge in the front wall has appeared, strangely
just after BT contractors have dug a trench up the road just outside the
wall!
