Then the rain came.




Immediately after we completed the second wall of the dry stone greenhouse near Mendocino Ca. the rain came.
We put an 18 foot 2 x 8 board across the peeks and draped a 60' by 20' clear plastic tarp over our work space to stay dry, and began pitching the floor with a mixed pallet of tumbled bricks, granite columns, flag stones and red sandstone sticks. 
Our design was based on dividing the floor into four sections and maintaining a symmetry with our materials and out cobbling pattern. The end result was visually stunning which totally surprised us.  Pictures of the finished walls and floor will be posted here tomorrow.
