I finally figured out how to post pictures to webshots. I know, not rocket science but some of us just take longer to figure thingsout. So, I thought I would post a couple of pictures of stone features in my garden. Excuse the misplaced animal photos and sorry for people in the pics - only ones I had.

The paths and building were made by me of scrap granite from a cutting shed in Elberton GA.

Looks good! I didn't see signs of any mortar - is it really dry stacked?

I was interested in building a stone potting shed also. What do you use for a base before you start the stones? How deep is this?

It looks very nice.

The stone was all found. It is scrap granite from a place where they make tombstones, Thirty three loads in my toyota PU at about 1,125 lb a load. I had the foundation dug with 18 in. footers and poured. I was afraid of settling. I do have a similar stone free standing fireplace where I simply mortered big stones together to make the foundation pad and it has not shifted. It took me six months of Friday nght/weekends, working alone. Then I hired a carpenter to do the roof and put in the windows. maybe i'll take some more close up pics....
