First Restored Wall on the Farm

We finished the first stretch of wall leading up to the barn gate this week. It was a productive week--despite the ungodly heat on Tuesday and Wednesday--and we averaged about fifteen feet of wall a day, which is pretty good for a four and a half foot wall. We started experimenting with some of the larger stones and building sections that were more single-stacked in the style of the existing walls on the farm. Some of these boulders were unreasonably heavy, but I really enjoyed fitting them together and making them work. Damon and I were both impressed with the beauty and strength they added to the structure.
