Outlasting qualities.





Here is another wall.  It doesn't matter who built it or where it is.  I will resort to a quote from the friend who sent the photo to me to describe it. "The stone is not very nice looking to work with, but the build quality manages to be worse." 


The fact is, this structure is now preserved in stone, because it is made of stone. It will probably last much longer that the wooden porch (with bell-cast roof ) which I built on the front of our house, that is, if I don't replace the shingles in 20 years,  paint it now and then and maintain the wooden deck.
