After seeing the beautiful precision of your work, I'm almost embarrassed by my less-than-precise methods. But my enjoyment of the building process makes up for a lot!

I'm so happy that I happened upon your blog; I'm looking forward to reading many future postings. <br /><br />MarjorieMarjorie Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104669798186181705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4305797144663798085.post-82897320134511250472015-06-03T19:24:48.908-05:002015-06-03T19:24:48.908-05:00Hi Marjorie!

I am Sooooo Impressed with how you made your stone floor for your adobe as well as the clay roof tiles. I Really LIKE your idea of driving the nails through the wood foundation to support the foam board walls. Very Clever!!! I have used toothpicks before but the nails would be so much stronger and better! Your stone looks Fabulous and I know just what you mean about how rock hard the wall putty becomes after it has fully cured, and you later try to cut into it. Been there! :D I am so glad to be a new follower of yours and I look forward to learning more from you as you construct your French Farmhouse.<br /> <br />I'll Be Back! :D<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.com
