Straightforward and elegant, everything you need to know about putting one stone on top of another. I&#8217;ve been through many tons of stone with only Ian&#8217;s stern Scottish advice to guide me. Never looked back.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t remember where I heard it (this book doesn&#8217;t cover drywall), but the best short course I&#8217;ve seen on dry-stack stonework is this:<\/p>\n<p>1. Gravity always works.<br \/>\n2. If a stone can move, it will.<\/p>\n<p>That sums up pretty much everything you need to know to ensure a wall will still be there for people born after you die.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stone building essentials<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1414"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1414"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1414\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8691,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1414\/revisions\/8691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
