so do I, as i keep looking at it. That lump, the mound in the field.
I've been around fieldstone all my life, my instincts are like yours, immediately go to stone, not only for durability
but it's so attractive. You are building something if not for all time for quite a while, long past your life, so as we all know,
these projects tend to get more complicated and "fancy" as they progress.
The challenge here is you can't buy a rock. Literally, no rocks anywhere unless they are imported. So rock, large stone is prohibitively expensive to use
in anything other than small decorative areas unless one's pockets are cavernous. Mine are not. I have another place I'd rather make a cool bridge, the one over the big ditch in the rear of the barn that will head to the pond in the woods. This field culvert is just that, a culvert in a field.
I have some grey pavers left that I thought of using somehow. My eye goes right back to the grey of granite...and whatever I use is going to come in bags from Lowes.
They actually do sell what I would have considered silly stuff in bags. Of course, around here, sand in a bag is silly. It's everywhere.....
I know Billy every time you hit one of those rocks with a shovel you must wish it wasn't there but remember, those are
valuable rocks.
Actually, next time I go back to PA I could just get a pallet of stone for relative peanuts. This is when I wish I had the old dually, 3 ton capacity in the bed. My current Ram won't hold one ton...and little pallets of stone are very heavy.
