#130 Can we reuse stones from the land to rebuild this ruin?

[Music] 4 years ago we bought this land to try to find another way of living and we have been recovering the land Building and discovering lots of old things like this ruin that we want to transform into a small house we already started to work so in previous videos you saw is cleaning it discovering Treasures taking measures digging the floor and putting in new clay morar and today we will finally raise the wall to their final height with stones from the land welcome to a new project Camp update but next up is the stone workor the first challenge we have is this wall who is uh a bit structurally unsafe that's why we decided to make a big opening here uh on the East facade we're going to put in a wooden frame with Windows and this way it's going to be structurally good again um most of the stones are pretty small so it would be good to take them apart but here we have a big challenge this is a really nice Cornerstone and we're going to have to cut it in half to leave this part uh standing in the wall and to have the opening here cutting a stone in the wall is going to be a challenge but let's try it so a second challenge is uh we're going to have to build up a few walls here we're going to make it into a triangle to fit the roof um and as it already quite high and we're going to go higher this will form the biggest challenge to put the big rocks up here so we are here in the other ruin that has been cleaned in a previous update by Landscaping team and uh one of these walls has completely fallen over before giving us a lot of really big Stones here which are great for building up the ruin but it's going to be a big challenge to move them to go from here to the ruin it's a very bumpy road through the forest uh we have a few ideas how to move them first one would have been the Digger which would have been really useful to lift them but you know how that story is going um but we have a few other IDs let's try them out okay so first technique classic one moving stuff with a wheelbarrow let's lift the stone that was my p p p p yal yala y only 200 to go Colleen come down and help us joia came on the right side yeah these stones are a bit heavy but not heavy enough for teen show uh let's try the big one yeah good now [Applause] like this and more people came to help how is it going so far it went really smoothly smoothly yeah just roll over the stones they become really light yeah yeah easy peasy look at everybody not exhausted at all very happy they joined fresh so we got enough stones from the ruin that collapsed now it's time to remove these Stones uh it should be fairly easy since they are built with a clay mortar so most of them are easy uh to take out and don't stick too much in case they don't move that easily I have a crowbar a hammer and a chisel whenever we're building these walls building or deconstructing them doesn't really matter we will make sure there's nobody on the other side so I'm working from the outside and make sure all the time the run is clear nobody's inside stones may drop over and that can uh cause accidents so let's avoid it [Music] so here we got some unexpected challenges I've got a lot of wasp stonges already and I don't react really well on them Julian how do you feel about wasps we can throw some water or no uhoh they coming back already open it open open it no so I got the toughest man in Camp tin show to help out thank you for that Wes are still stucking around a bit but uh we'll see how it goes let's get back back to [Music] work so big opening is done for now it's going to be the window in the future since we're at it we're going to take down these small ones on top Jo is going to do this side I'll be on the other side going to take them down so we have a steady new platform to keep on building up with bigger rocks he's taking the side with all the shade I'm taking the side directly in the sun it seems fair hierarchy that's how it goes I'm up higher than you right now don't understand it there's a pile of stones the smaller filler stones are out so we set up scaffolding to start bringing the new Big Stones up we talked earlier about this big fella that we needed to maybe cut it but now we're here we see that it's a really beautiful stone maybe the most beautiful one of the building so it would be a wayte to cut it that's why we got this set up with the chain lift we will uh lift this Stone off put it aside take this one off replace it by a smaller one that only reaches until here we're going to chip away some of the mortar so we can get this strap underneath on both sides uh and with that we can attach it to the chain lift lift it up and hopefully bring it down safely [Applause] look at [Music] that first stone down now the big one it's turn okay [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] welcome back to project Camp Stone masery it's a early Misty morning everything better than 40° we got the Big Stone off yesterday so today we will start building up over here we still have the small stone that fits here the that goes on top but instead of the Big Stone I need to find one that is 30 by 40 and 40 High I got a few contestants here but after measuring this one is the right one I only have to cut that size a bit more straight as it becomes a nice Cornerstone cut off the weird angle here and shape it to a square stone is breaking really easily probably because it was in some kind of forest fire and it makes the stones a bit more fragile still strong enough though um at least the core let's see how it goes [Music] now that we have a little Cube it's time to move it onto the wall first stone is up only about uh let's say 50 more to go [Music] as you can see we built the stones up dry without MTAR that's how they built the original ruin and not to use cement we keep up with the traditional way only later to fill it up with Clay mortar [Music] stones are up next we need a large one for the door so we're back at the other ruin where we picked up all these stones last time uh and we left one kind of on purpose because it's this really big one right over here we want to use it in our ruin uh I measured it estimate it's about 600 kilos um so it's going to be a big task to move it we have some beams to roll them over we have a chain lift that we're going to attach to a tree let's see how it goes we can only find out one way okay yeah that's on okay wow we see tilted just the two of us just the two of us our little presents the stone is start to move okay hold it there for a second the strap got really edgy yeah oh nice mhm start pulling just a video of two people watching this is going to take a while by the way yeah it's lovely we're having fun how far do we make it Mir do you want to switch for a bit no I like this work it it's so weird looking back it looks the exact same for me every time as you can see this is a really really slow job we're on the electricity cable now it's [Music] okay yep okay okay okay okay nice beautiful [Music] there we go a sh [Applause] [Music] let start my b [Music] as you can see we are quite happy that we managed to bring the stone until here the Big Stone has made it to the ruin we put it in the doorway where we will lift it up we're going to use the scaffolding uh to lift it it's old scaffolding it's not the strongest um so we'll do our best to put it up as safe as possible and then hope that the metal holds the weight of the stone put the leather on the same side yeah [Applause] yeah we have to try and put a beam across the two scaffoldings to put the chain host on uh and we want it in the middle of the door so the weight of the linl stone is in the middle and it's not swinging anywhere um yeah nice oh are we good ready top almost in the top little bit more and down W falling backwards easy all the 600 the stone with one one arm pull a bit more then it is more in than it is out it's really on one point could try to ship a little bit away but looks better okay leave it like this I think so we finished the stone above the door we managed to get it up safely using the chain host and everything uh let the chains go again stabilize the stone with some little Stones underneath to get it balanced and it's up there it's pretty safe so we can continue building the wall on the right side of the door I moov some of the little Stones so we have a good base to start with a bigger Stone as the corner of the wall corner of the building let's find that [Music] one just going to place this one right over here and we don't want it to be out of the wall chop it off not really stable [Applause] yet break really easily so that's not good to support another Stone hopefully we have a lot to choose there sounds a bit better it's beautiful [Music] nice this was a really long job up so we are reaching the highest Stone of our ball build I put up a line to see until where we have to build this is the angle of the roof of course we don't have the exact stones in that angle so the line you see over here uh is what I'm going to have to shizel away to make it fit with the roof [Music] so now we have a nice and slanted surface took uh quite a bit of work to chop it off with the hand chisel but I want to avoid to use the power drill as we're on the top and I didn't want to kick off this rock so yeah there we go [Music] not to do this alone there you go nice and flush together and the front wall is raised until the top so we finished the South facade next up is this one the north facade um you're going to have to make the same kind of triangle shape it's going to be a bit more more difficult than on the other side because here the floor is a meter and a half lower it means that we need to have a third scaffolding to be able to lift the stones on top of the wall higher means more lifting takes longer more manpower more intense so first stone up is this big one some of you will recognize it because it's the one we took out over there we're going to use it right down there on top of the Cor cor to make this corner really strong Smo than expected that was easier than I thought so we got the big Cornerstone on top of the wall it's hinging on this point and there's a gap here at this moment the job is starting to get pretty repetitive so yeah you got the ID pull the stone up fit them in the [Music] wall Stone up Stone in the wall [Music] it's going really slow this side chain takes way too long how are you feeling Joe tired real tired he drank way too many beers yesterday I drank the perfect amount of beers yesterday you know the drill break stones in the right size chisel more stones [Music] lift them up put them in place it's really a tast with game how far is it getting we have to go in Jo hurt himself a little bit yesterday little ouchy ouchy on his arm yeah I got a boo boo when I got this I didn't even cry big Brave boy I am he still has boo boo kind of need a second person to do that safely no huh you kind of need a second person to do that safely yeah I wonder where he is where he is if only there was somebody else around if only there was somebody else here who could help with this all alone on the cing [Music] music logs magic what is your thoughts on uh our new plan to make mimosa on the phones we abandon the whole ruin thing this guy yeah yeah it's too much work mhm [Music] [Music] [Music] I guess that that that's in place drop it we need to put that big Stone up there got little Gap there perfectly in the line now I need you to get some more and finally the [Music] Cornerstone beautiful sloped wall start Imagining the roof on it Tino coming over here coming over there so the biggest wall is done it's time for the last one the West facade this one only needs to get a few centimeters higher but there is a small problem we are raining out the stones yeah we are um so we're looking for new Stones where we can find them this is a really tempting one to take away from the wall but then it's an old wall it's like a bit of telling the story how it used to be here the stones are made to reuse so we better make use of them so yeah we found a few more stones and the man outlives the machine it's really hot machine is melting now you wait what the machine is melting and how are you me too unbelievable he's just sweating after raising the other two walls this one went much smoother last heavy Stone of the building testing the limits of the wheelbarrow I'm not sure if you can do it there it's very steep if I start I need to go all the way [Music] down no no no not that bad not that bad I mean it's closer right did you do that on purpose for the video [Laughter] [Music] [Music] I the last big one do you see that these are the do last songs yeah if they fit but by now we we just look at the stone and we know the size and we just Stone [Music] Wizards and just like that all the walls are raised to their final [Music] Heights so last thing to do here to make uh the opening complete we need to cut these two big Stones right over here [Music] and that's it so we finished the walls the stonework is done for now we just have to fill it up with Clay like we did before uh it was a heavy job it's heavy big stones and it's uh really a puzzle to fit them together the first thing we did was to make this big opening here on the east side couple of challenges uh in the corners there were two really big Stones so we just took down the wall uh took the stone out and replaced it with a smaller one we were able to put it here as a nice New Corner Stone on the other side here the stone was more round less rectangular so we decided to cut it in this wall there was already an existing door opening which we raised just the lenol the Big Stone on top of me was missing luckily we found it at the other ruin where uh a wall had tipped over it was a lot of fun and hard work to bring it all the way from there through the forest here but we managed to get it up safely this wall is kind of like a pillar at the moment so we stabilized it with this for now until we build in a wooden frame so this wall ended up to be the biggest challenge of them all just because of the height of it we raised more than 30 stones on top uh took us three levels of scaffolding to raise them all with the chain lift took a lot of time but in the end I'm really happy with the result the puzzle fits nicely together and you can already see the shape of the roof for this last wall we only had to raise two layers of stone but we ended up running out of stones or at least of good rectangular ones so we had to find some new ones shape them to size but in the end we got it done so that was it for all the stone work to finish the work up we cleaned around the ruin piled all the stones on the side that we ended up not using so it's ready for the next chapter that was it for this video the stone work is finished and the walls are in their final height next steps will be applying lime in the gaps between the stones starting to build the wooden floor frame the window frame and the roof make sure to subscribe if you want to see that come to life also if you want to see our next video already you can support us on patreon that helps a lot thanks for watching Until the End have a nice week
