Advice On Dry Stone Wall Using Breeze Blocks
Thanks for the advice Simon and the steps you stated seem very easy to
follow so i'll be attempting this as soon as the weather decides to break 7. Have yourself a beer. hehehehe _ now i like this step the best d And why do this without mortar ???? Its quite a big wall and d i live a long way from a road and getting sand and cement up d to the plot is extremely hard work. So as i have built a d small stone dry stone wall before i thought maybe i could do d the same with these breeze blocks and make a feature of them d with the extra mortar on them etc. When d they are finished i could paint them to resemble cotsworld d stone or something and i think it would look better than a d normal drab breeze block wall. If they're concrete blocks it won't be a problem, but true "breeze blocks" are very light and might not have the mass to stay put without. Still, at least without mortar you can rebuild it easy enough if it does fall out I hope it doesn't fall out because there will be a greenhouse next to it They must be concrete blocks however as there pretty darn heavy so i think if i follow what you said i should be ok. The only worry is that using soil as a kind of mortar !! Would it not wash away ??? Anyway if you think it would be ok i'll give it a go. Most of my soil is clay however and i'll def think about using rubble as a kinda foundation in my trench before proceeding .... Anyway simon many many thanks for the advice and time you have taken to reply. Cheers mate and have a beer on me |
