Dry Stone Waller
Wecome all you dry stone wallers.It is a great occupation stretching us mentally and physically.There is a special buzz when we finish a project like this dry stone bridge built in Scotland Let me hear your experiences so that we can convert that world out there to the delights of our profession.
A nice dry stone bridge Norman. It goes to prove that mortar, although useful is not always essential. When mortared bridges deteriorate it is often attributable to the failure of the mortar from scouring out, leaching, wrong mortar type etc. Observation will often reveal that stones were not laid with their lengths running in to the bridge as in dry stone. Mortared bridges should be built with dry stone techniques so as not to rely solely on the long term success of the mortar. From your Irish stone bridge mason, Patrick
