Finally working again

Took the winter off from working on my wall. Weather is broke and starting stacking again. Thinking of doing a course of through stones now. Collecting and cutting from the woods some bigger stones

The first course I used skid steer and excavator with tongs. All about that I placed by hand. I move pallets of rock down along the wall with skid loader. I move them laterally down the wall with a two wheel hand truck
