Although its not too apparent on the photo, this is on quite a slope and as Martin says, you start at the bottom of the hill and work up, the only difference is that it's cement and not gravity that keeps everything in place! Tidy work . But you've been spoilt with all that stone left over john, usually when I'm walling I end up going on a stone hunt.

844john Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 That's the beauty of wet walling Martin, there's usually about a quarter of the stone left over, but you're right about a dry wall, there never seems to be enough stone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Starting to build up all the junk required to fill the barn etc. Managed to get a good few bits together but still got half the barn to fill. Would appreciate any ideas as to what else you'd find lying around, bottles and fencing parts are the main two I'm still thinking of adding and a log pile and some more wool bags. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cardboard boxes are a really nice simple build to quickly fill up lots of space. Made using the cereal thickness card thats corrugated cardboard coloured, I've found it from packaging CD's get sent in and the box my contact lenses are delivered in. Simply draw out the net of the box same as a real one, cut and fold together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes finally decided on the name. Not directly from a farm round my area but Grouse is a valley and stream that runs on the moors near by, Knowl is an old word for Hill and many of the farms round me are referred to as Folds, so Grouse Knowl Fold, or in old terms the Farm on the hill where grouse are seen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Think Kids Globe do solar pannels, though not as detailed as those, and Britians made skips for their Skip wagon, think there is someone 3D printing skips too, over in europe. Still very nice products all the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
