Limestone Corner was Basically RUBBLE… We Rebuilt It

Today, we have rebuilt three out of four corners: this one was the worst. Out of all four corners, including the cracked one, this poor wall had suffered the worst damage. If you had watched some of our earliest videos, you may remember that this section of the wall was completely covered in a thick coat of ivy. A combination of the ivy roots, missing roof tiles and other factors, nearly every rock on this corner had been turned to rubble. We could tell from the beginning that keeping it was not even an option, but it wasn’t until we started to take it apart, that we realized just how right we were. The plus side of this was that the demolition was really easy. With the exception of a few large boulders, most everything fell apart in our hands. Luckily, the Northeast Corner had less lamination, so we ended that build with a surplus of rocks that we were able to use to make up for the mass amounts of rocks that were unsalvageable. However, once we got to the bottom of the wall, we quickly learned what was keeping this wall together: massive boulders that were nearly impossible for us to move. But somehow, we did it. And in the process, we finally located the water line. Yes, we do have running water. We just never use it. Rebuilding this section was a lot of fun, despite the majority of the construction happening during the hottest days of the summer so far. Almost every day of construction, the temperatures exceeded 33° C / 91° F, forcing us to work early in the morning and late into the evening. Luckily, this corner is in shade until around noon, and after 7 pm. It led to some exhausting build days, but some great memories from the delirium the sleep deprivation caused. But the highlight of this build was not the limestone: it was the beam. Resetting the beam has been a project that has loomed over us more than any other. It was by far the most dangerous project we have ever done. It took more than 4 hours of lifting, pulling, bracing, one centimeter at a time, to slowly put the beam back where it belonged. But to our amazement, it worked. And when the beam went back into place, several joists and the roof went right back where they belonged. It was a true testament to the quality of the construction. We are excited to be on the final count down of the wall sections. Finishing the last corner has brought us a great sense of security that we have not had yet. And we are looking forward to wrapping up this part of the project by autumn. There are a few thank you’s to give for this project. The largest was Luke Hanson, who was one of our very first volunteers. He returned to us, this time ready to help build. He not only helped us dig, but he also helped us move those heavy boulders. It would have literally been impossible to move so many huge boulders without him. He also provided us with his phone to help film, earning himself a guest cameraman credit on this video. Lado as always was there, mixing mortar and pointing the wall once it was done. Mathilda and Asta helped at the very end with the drainage and patio. More of their work will be featured in upcoming videos. Thank you Luke! Hvala Ladi! Tak til Mathilda og Asta!
