Who needs mortar? Dry Stone Masonry can last for hundreds of years, and they only become stronger as they settle. Here's how to put up a dry stone wall that will stand with the best of them.

Another Chance for The Last Chance Ranch
The historical Last Chance Ranch is located in the
Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge in a remote area
of northwest Nevada. The refuge covers almost
900 square miles of land. The original 1885 ranch house was
built next to a spring on the range. In 1910 a coursed, squared
rubble stone addition was made to the original house. Recently it
was included in a restoration project funded by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service. This project was required to meet the Secretary
of Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.
Due to my experience in successfully meeting these requirements
on previous historical masonry restorations, I was hired to rebuild
the failing stone walls of the house.
