I wanted a 30' dry stone retaining wall as well as a number of measures for the transition between the strike cellar area, on the area of the rear garage which mean to create new homes. After the first excavation and construction process, I stayed with a sand and steep gradient of about 10' on the back of the House. The rainfall caused sand and Earth area basement strike blocked - this was not acceptable. The solution to the problem was selected to build a dry stacked stone wall and a series of steps.
Mr. Reed's book was accurate clearly written, materials, tools and techniques, and he did a good job of the underlying elements for the construction to clear dry stacked stone retaining walls, steps, and tree sources. The book is well organized and begins with the tools of then proceed to more challenging projects.
After reading the book, I was confident that from a 10-tonne excavator, I would be the basic tools, correct materials (which were in abundance), and some helping in able to construct the walls, walks, and steps, which I needed the site interesting. I'm almost finished with my project and all of the "local" guys have positively impressed with what I achieved. They grew to do this work.
Make no mistake, moving 20-200 lb stones with hand tools is hard work. On the sea side is well worth the satisfaction by standing back and looking at what you have done, get every drop of sweat.
I can only recommend, Mr. Reed's book-in theory and it was developed the money value and and easy to read, illustrated with drawings and photos.
