  • At minute 14.55 a beautiful specimen of The marbled newt (Triturus marmoratus) is a tailed amphibian belonging to the Salamandrid family. The distribution range of the marbled newt extends from northern Spain to western, southern and central France.

    • Can't quite tell from watching the video, but I hope you used a lime based mortar rather than a cement based one. Lime based mortar allows stonework to breathe. If there's freezing weather, it's much less prone to cracking as water can get in & crucially, out again. Whereas cement based mortars lock moisture in, and when it expands as ice does, it can damage both the mortar and stonework itself. Usage of cement based mortars with stonework is a common, & sometimes tedious & expensive mistake, as damage often occurs, requiring remedial works.

  • I have a suggestion. My Father used to build very beautiful rock walls. They weren't drystone but stones and cement. He used something he called a maul to tap the stones into position. It had a heavy bulky head and it and the handle were one piece made out of metal. It was about between 13 and 15 inches long, the head a heavy rectangle, prob 2.5 inches on a side and about 4 or 5 inches long. It is a wonderful tool for what you are doing. He could use it for shaping with a stone carving chisel as well as positioning the blocks. You're doing beautiful work.

    • Boa noite! One option is to get some additive like for example this one prt.sika.com/content/dam/dms/pt01/d/sikalatex_.pdf We found it was too expensive to use it for all the walls, so we only used it for the gaps between the stones of the existing walls. It was quite hard to get this watertight, because the old cement over time formed cracks, so we had to redo a lot of the gaps. All in all the tank is also not 100% water tight and probably never will be. Especially because we did not seal the floor. Here we just relied on the clay that was already there forming a water resistant layer. As we have always inflow from the spring we are fine with a few holes here and there
