Hello,
I've posted this on the Noticeboard as well, but I was just wondering if anyone had any advice or could suggest any references for how to repair stone walls - specifically using flat slate, not the large rounded stones. There are some trees that were planted too close to a wall and their roots recently destabilized the foundation of the wall.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Malachy Orozco
Hi Malachy,
Theres a great book on stone walls by Patrick _______ called stone walls. Basic rules is stager the joints put one stone in the middle on top of two stones and every meter put in a throgh tone. Make sure no stones rock when they are laying flat wedge them with slips of stones. Hard to teach it without being there to give you a hand.
