Graham, Barry, Roderick, Catriona and I have finished the Low Waite job in such record time that it feels as though we havn't really started yet. The stone was running low at the end, although we still had some left over spare parts, but then you always seem to when you building something.
The only inconvenience came from the (very) slow but steady stream of cars passing us, but it was not enough to stop us starting and finishing in two weeks. Oscar watched on from a hole in a nearby tree as we put the final toppers in place and headed off to look at our next job just down the lane.
Richard - The owner wasn't around when we'd finished but sent this message to the group
"Thank you so much for the wall it looks amazing. I am sorry I
wasn’t there today to thank you. It puts the rest of the wall to shame."
This wall has the largest number of through stones of any wall we've done. I think it has more in this 10 yard section than the whole of Markenfield.
Mid day.
Afternoon and the wall is at topper height
A finished wall - Unfortunately no-one brought any bubbly for the topping out ceremony
