First load your photos to Photobucket

Once you have done that your pictures will be on a page where links are available, if you hover over the picture you want to post a selection of codes will appear you need to copy the IMG Code then paste it onto the forum

Here we go, arrived here in late Jan to finish off the stonework (not to my taste) from the ground floor window heads upwards, as the builder that was doing it got sick of the sub-zero temperatures.

Next was the first of two block backed stone faced retaining walls

The the easi pointed paving,

Hi LLL we did all the stonework from the ground floor window heads upwards, another fella sorted the blockwork, then the stone work was sand blasted and we came back and pointed it, then the paving.

tbh im not to keen on the big stones but we were asked to put them in so what can you do eh....

Its actually my old house, but a local developer bought about 10 years ago and has rented it out ever since, the original house was alot smaller and was demolished, dated 1735 and the one before that early 1600's.

Got a guy coming from tobermore to look at this work to see if im good enough to become a registerd tobermore contractor fingers crossed :)
