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.
Nicely done. At far end of tank where water exits, may consider piling rocks to reduce soil wash out by use of diverter pad of large pile of rocks / stones to eliminate erosion over time. Also, that dip in the water looks like it was quite chilly! lol
Is this tank on property that you own? How did you know the original size for the width of the tank where you chose to reconstruct the wall against the hill.
Amazing work! Will this be for agricultural purposes? It would be interesting to see your property overall to see where this is in proximity to the house. Well done!
Man this was a lot of hard work and awesome to watch. It’s so rewarding to build something with your hands. Seeing it in your head, then watching it all take shape as your idea comes to life. Hopefully the following generations appreciate it and maintain it.
wow That must have a been a very labor intensive project, but the finished look was well worth the time and effort. I may have been inclined to finish the floor as well to have made it very pool like. Still could do that here?
Looks amazing. We are also in north PT and renovating a ruin. Currently building a water tank. What’s the white liquid you added to the concrete? I guess it’s to water proof it. Is it PVA wood glue?
Looking good. If you were my neighbour I would help out
At minute 14.55 a beautiful specimen of The marbled newt (Triturus marmoratus) is a tailed amphibian belonging to the Salamandrid family.

It takes patience to make one of those rock walls. Picking the right rock is an art.

Great format for sharing.
What a great job you guys have done so far a really nice job rebuilding the wall and tank . It looks amazing. Good luck for your future projects 😊😊😊
Surely with the weight of that banking behind the wall it’s all going to shift or fall before too long

I hope with all that work that your tank is still there 100 years from now! Great job!

Wow, what an undertaking, quite amazing amount of work done! That swim was so deserved ! How long did this take ?! Hats off to you two
Wonderful soundscape in the background, and beautiful, skilled " architecture".

Brilliant! The purpose? I see the effort was its own reward. Was the tank built years ago to store water for local population?
This was a cool project to watch. On the other hand watching him shovel sand out of a trailer instead of unhitching it and tipping it back was painful
Very tastefully done! What a place to escape the heat this summer, chapeau!
