This job came up very late in 2020 but I didn’t get on site until late Feb. Luckily, given the winter weather, we got a few dry days before starting so it was not a mud-bath.
A lorry had done the damage and about a six meter length needed restoring.
Before.
It was quite an old wall, and it obviously been restored at least once in past (I found an empty bag of Worther’s Originals deep in the wall from 2010’s) . Taking the stone down, sorting it and getting most of the foundation ready took a lot of the first day, but I got a start on the rebuild. The next day saw the wall back almost to the finished height, but I was running out of stone quickly. The old wall had been built with a lot of runners and I was doing it with mostly headers (as you should), luckily the house had a pile of spare stones I could pick from. By the end of day three the wall was up and tied in.
