It has been wet today. Really wet. However, by the end of the day there is only a couple of courses to go and the coping stones can go on this part of the wall. Once you pass the midpoint on the wall (and install the throughstones), the whole process seems to speed up – not surprising considering the top of the wall is only half the width of the base of the wall.
While it has been relatively warm today, it has been really windy and wet. This has made working outside hard work. The main issue is that the ground surrounding the base of the wall becomes very muddy and slippery – you would not want to slip carrying a heavy stone. I made a “duck board” using some spare wooden decking. This works a treat, although it could do with being a bit longer.
I reckon one more day and we will be ready to put the coping stones on the top of the wall.
