How encouraging it is to watch the young and the 'young at heart' engage in a common interest Jonathon is eager for all the 'right things' and will find his peace. What talent to behold from both of you. I thank you most kindly for this vid and the steady /talented hand of Catherine. My how that bird-a-roasting on an open fire, made my mouth water. Methinks U keep it fresh in your mind and it gives the impetus for a successful shoot. I leave U a quote of Thomas Jefferson: "It is neither wealth nor splendor but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness." We witness it by your very lives. Health and God Bless! :)

Very nice! I have a couple of masonry tips for your next project! When laying stone or brick, the sides of the stone or brick that are going to be butted against each other need to be "buttered". This means the stone that has been set needs mortar on its side and the stone that is being placed, if possible, needs mortar on the side. When placed there should be mortar squeezing out of the joints. Also, the bed of mortar should be uneven, when i set mortar I run the tip of the trowel through the middle of the mortar to make a kind of trough, it helps the mortar grip the stone. Finally, laying more mortar than needed is what is needed! Mortar should be oozing from the joints! Loved this project, im gonna subscribe!
@TheWoodlandEscape
