    I watch your videos from the beginning, and love to see how motivated and positive you approach all the difficulties.
    Dry stone walls get their stability from the big stones, they should fit perfectly together. Using small stones to even out the big ones is not the right way to do it. They are only used to fill gaps afterward, the weight of the wall must be carried by the big ones alone.
    Either the big stones are put together in a stable way, or the filling stones need to be supported by concrete, imho.

      Tight joints that you can't put a piece of paper in, these are stable. Courses of these correctly installed make solid structures. You can see the time the StoneMason took on the old work to make sure that all of the joints were correct before going to the next course above. If you are going to do work by hand you have to have the proper tools to dress the stones correctly. I noticed that the lintel that they installed had a door slot and a pivot hole in the "side"😂 since they're framing it out in wood it's unnecessary , but a nice bit of old craftwork .

    I'm an old craftsman and I got a little sick watching you today. Moving and lifting stones weighing more than half a ton, no safety equipment whatsoever (helmets and steel-capped shoes would be the minimum). And when you pull a 600 kilo stone uphill with a chain hoist, you don't stand behind the stone. If the old, weak belt breaks, you can get a nasty whiplash in the face just before the stone breaks your bones.
    And do you know that there are several fairly active earthquake zones in Portugal?
    Strong earthquakes are rare, but what do you think? How strong does an earthquake have to be to bring your 600 kilo stone down from up there?
    And: You put each individual stone in a bed of mortar; subsequently smearing mortar into the cracks hardly improves stability.
    I'm sorry I can't say anything more positive - but I thought in this case I couldn't keep it to myself.
    All the best, Georg (from Germany)

      I'm a Journeyman Mason and I have to agree with a lot of your statements. Earthquakes don't occur very often in Portugal ( do they ?I didn't check)but they do still occur and this building with the proper reinforcement might stand one. However in its current condition it will not hold up to an earthquake as can be evidenced by the pile of rubble that you found by nearly every one of the ruins, yes? As it is too late now, you can still retro reinforce. This can be achieved by using rebar, drill into the wall and the foundation from most likely inside , pound rebar spikes in and create a wall of rebar , form up around it and pour a solid concrete wall at least 8 inches thick, a buttress I think it is called. Research block and tackles, snatch blocks and pivot cranes. Old stonemason techniques such as dressing stones will be useful There are several simple crane models you can use, that will make moving these blocks a lot easier. As this man said before putting your blocks in a bed of mortar is far better than dry fitting. At least use dry mortar. I have a thousand other techniques and tips for you but I didn't want to make this too long if you have any questions just ask...

    • @StephenMatlock
      @StephenMatlock 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +30

      Yah, I sometimes wonder at the lack of safety features and the lack of understanding about how things work. "It's probably fine" is not a good thing to hear when talking about stonework with only clay mortar which can resist downward compression but not up-and down movement or side-to-side movement that occurs in earthquake tremors. (I kinda winced when I heard "yeah, the granite is decomposing and weak, but the inside is probably fine.") Most of Asia Minor is littered with the fallen stones and columns of the Greeks and Romans who didn't build for earthquakes. And does no one remember the Lisbon earthquake of 1755?
      I admire the perspicacity of the group and the energy dedicated to the cause, but putting safety second is the same as putting safety last. When we are young and strong, our bodies can fool us into thinking we can just do something w/o long-term consequences.

      That's a lot of very good advice, I think. I'm not a bricklayer, so I only have a limited knowledge of this trade - thank you for your post.
      I'm a bit sensitive about earthquakes because I live in an active area. Strong earthquakes are rare here too - but you always have to expect them. In my experience, an earthquake of magnitude between 2 and 3 could be enough to cause the building in its current state - the new structure - to collapse. We have earthquakes like this every few weeks. In Portugal, the dangerous zones are concentrated in the south of the country, but there are also isolated hotspots in the middle.
      Specifically: In the earthquake areas of Portugal (except the Azores) there were 9 earthquakes in the last 24 hours.
      The strongest reached 3.2, and three others were between 2 and 3.

      PS: 6 weeks ago we have had a 5,4 quake 84 km south of Lisbon. I dont know, were you located in Portugal - but be careful!

    Congratulations on all that hard and heavy work. As a Safety Officer I had my heart in my mouth, and if I had have come across a similar job in England I would had stopped it. But at least you had a lifting device, although I suspect those lifting bands were designed to secure a road vehicle tarpaulin, and not designed for lifting weights. You need to check their maximum lifting load. and check for damages to the bands.. I hope you know how much granite weighs so that you can calculate the maximum size (and therefore weight) of large stones. I would think that you need to use cement to keep the structure stable and watertight. I hope you will also have a sturdy wooden frame Inside the house. Once again a great job done, and I hope the next phase of building is successful. Best Wishes Pete (Manchester UK)

    • @skrymerU
      @skrymerU วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      It can't be granite. Granite that has been damaged by fire flakes of in flat sheets. And the grain structure is also all wrong, it's supposed to be parallel lines, that's why it flakes. The quarts and feldspar are supposed to be mixed together homogenous, not separated out into crystals. It has to be some kind of gneiss.
      Granite just don't look or behave like that. At least no granit I ever seen and I have seen a lot of it, everything is basically just naked bohus granite bedrock where I am.

    You might want to get a structural engineer in to assess the build and sign off on it. If they refuse to sign off, don't use the building for habitation. Also, consider getting some stress indicators put in so you know if the walls are shifting.
    It's not just earthquakes that can bring that down. Simple settling from the new weight, erosion, your changing the soil profile from the shovel work, removing plants that hold the soil together, etc ... small things you don't even consider ... will change things. The structure has compressive strength, but is very weak from lateral motion.
    I'm scared.

      The mortar is dependent on the adhesion with the rock which is to crumble to really bond well. Even the use of rocks between rocks to fill the gaps and steady the rock weakens the wall. but can be done if the contact between the rocks is flat and smooth and makes contact over as much surface on both sides.

      I agree with that, these walls are very dangerous. They should used lime mortar between the stones like the old ruin was built. And they should have build reinforcements with metal rebars in concrete, at least on the two corners near the future window linked to a belt around the roof.
      Their construction skills are good to build dry walls in a garden, but not to put people inside.
      If you really want to made a dry stone wall, you have to shape perfectly each stone, in order to flatten them to put nothing between them, it take a lot of skill and a very big amount of time.

    like probably many of the viewers i got goosebumps watching all the activity with the big stone over the door. please guys invest some time in safety. i have a background in architecture and house building and was just waiting for something to happen at any moment, with happily didn't. also i have a question you might have to consider. "What is the structural benefit to have that big stone over your front door?" if you decide to keep it that way, please reinforce it with something really strong like a metal rectangular frame
    Really love your videos! watching you from year one, but this time you got me real scared. keep you guys safe

    In the last Q&A you told us u cant force everybody to wear protection while working with chainsaws etc.
    If you dont change the way of thinking about safety on buildingsides at some point somebody will get hurt.
    you showed us in this episode a 600kg toothpick what was laying in the sun,rain,fire for years.
    before you showed us how breakable it is.
    Than this pice is gonna be used to catch the weight of the wall and the roof.
    I mean what the fuck this ''stones' are nothing more than compressed dirt :D
    this is not a wet roof or mould on the wall.
    This looks like russian roulette.

      Great point! I remember thinking the same during that Q&A too, and I get that it can be tough to get everyone on board with wearing protective gear, but safety really needs to be a top priority-especially when working with such massive stones or dangerous equipment like chainsaws. I think it could help if Project Kamp agreed on clear guidelines that make safety gear non-negotiable. Maybe even designate someone on-site to lead by example and make sure everyone’s equipped with helmets, steel-capped boots, and gloves before any heavy work starts.
      In this episode, seeing the 600kg stone after years of exposure to the elements, it’s clear that just a small mishap could be catastrophic. I really hope they focus on a solid safety plan moving forward-something that can help prevent any accidents before they happen. Maybe even sharing a safety checklist with viewers could inspire others too!

    Hey Project Kamp team, I’ve been following your journey and absolutely love the innovative spirit you bring to your projects. However, watching this latest video has me genuinely worried for your safety. The dry-stacking of the old granite stones, especially after enduring bushfires, feels risky-especially with no mortar support and such heavy stones involved (that 600kg lintel stone on a column, yikes!). While your passion for rebuilding is inspiring, I can’t shake the concern about the potential structural instability. We’ve already seen professionals flag the risks of collapse or serious injury in the comments, and many supporters, myself included, are really worried.
    It would be a relief to hear if you’ve had an architect or engineer assess the structure as safe, and if not, I urge you to consider an expert review. Please, for the sake of everyone involved, address these concerns in the next update. There's a real risk that someone could get seriously hurt or worse if something goes wrong. Your health and safety are far more important than the rebuild. Stay safe and keep the amazing energy going! Please know this comes from a place of love and concern, not criticism and hate.

    Sometimes I wonder why I watch all these videos, but seeing the chain hoist suspended on scaffolds and being used as a crane made me realize I could do work with my own similar hoist at home. Seemed smart at first to pull that log with the hoist, but a motorized winch on a vehicle would be really nice. If this were America, one of the Kampers would definitely have a Jeep with a winch. One time our over-preparedness would come in handy. Cheers!

Help with the wheelbarrel is fine, but use a rope to tear the wheelbarrel. And finally a tip for the real big stones, try it with 6 or more pipes, like a 50mm pvc pipe and roll the stone on these pipes. I hope it helps. Good luck!
