ROCKS

Our Father always tried to do his construction projects for little or no cost, hence his penchant for building with salvaged material and rocks which are abundant in this part of the Cariboo

I have been giving Allen a hand doing projects around the old farm and know I see why they named him Sven (after our Dad) as he got a good idea to add a greenhouse onto the old cabin we just salvaged, and of course we had to make the base of it out of rocks. I'm sure Dad would have just fit the rocks together on themselves but we mixed concrete to mortar them together but the outcome looks similar.

By the time we were done building the rock walls we had considerably more respect for Dad's ingenuity and totally understand why he treasured flat rocks so much.
