RE: How we Built our Stone Toolshed

Cool soul turtle! Looks great. I had to laugh that people looked at it as an opportunity to “get rid” of their boulders! Free material for you. If next time you want less cracks, fibers like horse hair, rice hulls, cow or horse poop w straw fibers, straw, etc can be added in to help that! So satisfying to build naturally!

Thanks, everything but the tin sheets was free material. Those rocks were fairly useless till we decide to make use of them. Our workers are also basically one large extended family so there's a lot of bonhomie and camaraderie while they work.

We weren't too fussed about the finish cause it's a non residential building. Most of the plaster will crack, but the stone is solid and the overall look is unique. I do have to eventually build a home there and will consider wattle and daub with a lot of fibre.
