Off Topic??
This field school was built in 1823. It's in the South Buffalo Creek valley in Rockbridge County, Virginia. Active from construction until just before WWII. We have formed a committee and are setting about to restore the old structure. It's on the National Register of Historic Places. I have been tasked with laying a new foundation under the old structure, which has been lifted 18" above original height and a footer poured. The original cabin rested on four stones.
I am using stones from an old barn foundation. Layery, large limestones. I am doing good tight fitment, but battering the build and jagging things in and out to create a rustic look. This is a volunteer undertaking on my part.
Here are the first two foundation panels.

Hope this is not intrusive. I'll update with a completion shot in a few weeks.
