How to Build a New England Fieldstone Wall by David Croteau

[bobtul]

nothing better than a randon rubble wall

In order to build a "New England" fieldstone wall, you need to have a ridiculous overdone "New England" accent.

alot of running joints and too many little pieces. I work my best to make the tightest of tight walls and somehow people still get away with building walls like this. maybe this is the first wall they have ever built or they are blind folded and go by feel.

In future try to avoid stacking more then 2 stones on the top of each other without breaking the joint. At 2:15 you have 5 stones on the top of each other... Also for the first retaining wall you showed you need 1:6 batter were you have looks like 1:12, it's almost plumb and for 2' high retaining wall you don't need a batter.

at last some proper walling. nice work.. not sure what good your lines are doing you on the radius though

Beautiful work. Much nicer than mine, though drywalling isn't very common here, it mostly seems to be reinforced concrete block walls with a mortared stone leaf, or facade.
