We were so impressed with the quality of Jeronimo's stonework - assisted by Freddy - that we decided to build the columns to support the doors and windows out of stone.
The columns are built onto the foundation
walls with each stone being selected to provide a clean line for the window and door frames to abutt. However, Ed has decided to have some of the column edges rough to give the impression of the walls having been part of a ruin. The adobe bricks can then be incorporated using mud between the jagged edges and the adobe bricks.
Hipolito, our foreman, is not a bad stonemason either - this is his work, the first column in my bedroom.View from the other side
Another fine example of the quality of work produced by our team.
