It's not always clear when you are building a pretend dry stone ruin like this one in Beaverton Ontario when it is actually completed.
I designed this with the client and my crew and I built it about six years ago.
Any well built dry stone folly might take hundreds of years before it's considered 'finished' - that is, actually come to ruin.
Happily however, after a garden is planted and has grown up and around (and inside the enclosure) there is a definite sense of 'closure'.
