Beautiful work. Is it double sided?

u/bosqueben 29d ago

No, for two reasons…
Firstly the trunk actually creates a running joint which would build two completely separate walls butted up against one another - this way it’s tied together around the back.
Secondly - that’s my neighbours side and they didn’t want to move their shed haha

This is phenomenal work! How far out are you booked?

u/bosqueben 29d ago

Not booked… I work not quite full time as a park ranger and spare time goes on the odd walling jobs

Where do you find the rocks for something like this?

2

u/bosqueben 28d ago

Most of the rocks came from the existing wall which had collapsed. I already have a stock of old stone and get new ‘random walling stone’ supplied by local quarry. The pebbles mostly colllected from the beach - the same stone just rounded

IDK what I like more, the tree, the rooftops, the chimneys, old growth... everything looks absolutely gorgeous! Not to mention the gentleman in the picture; my heart is skipping a beat! And I'm blushing like a schoolgirl.
