BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi Scott that's a great offer mate I'd love to take you up on it but I'll probably be busy with work. That's fine work you've done there unlike most of the shit that's called stonework with mortar showing everywhere. I did a good bit of it myself last year around the farm but it's not as good as your's yet Mortar? What's mortar? Take care mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So you don't have any mortar in those steps in the bottom left picture? I think it's a lot faster if there's mortar put in and they're more resistant to flakes from tractors and cattle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
