Item description from seller

61 pages. Book covers have small tears and fading. Pages are age tanned, but they are well bound and free from any apparent marks. The countless miles of New england stone walls bear testimony to hours of backbreaking toil by man and beast whose individual lives and circumstances are as remote to us as are the builders of the pyramids. This book demonstrates the fundamentals of laying durable wall using flat stones that will withstand freezing and thawing. It shows how to move inert rocks safely, with little effort, how to employ simple tools to split stones, how to provide for proper drainage, to interlace parts, to construct gates and stiles, how to rebuild ancient walls that have been tumbled by neglect, and finally, how to level and cap a wall that will be both utilitarian and aesthetically satisfying.
