ayy.....Antony cudos to your work...grand job....i love the drystone walls of the Northeast and yorkshire......masterful work there...cheers from germany....you can take a brake now....haa.
Great job , Ant. - who would doubt it ?! You certainly have your work cut out …!! But if anyones up to it , you are. Gorgeous countryside. Love to you all in your ‘neck of the woods’ ! Love, Marilyn xx ❤ 🍁🦋🌾
You did a wonderful job repairing that wall. It looked like a giant puzzle of rocks that would be a week’s work to put together. Of course, in the hands of a master waller, you did it much quicker😍
This is a beautiful before and after video. I could see this as an ASMR long form video too with only the sounds of nature and stones being placed plus the satisfaction of the wonderfully straight lines and perfect positioning of the stones. No words required
From watching you build and repair the walls I believe you must be at MASTER level when packing anything up...like a van for moving. You've amazing memory for shapes.
Beautiful job. I don't think you will ever run out of work in those beautiful surroundings with the birds singing. I would almost call this your Happy place. Thank you so sharing your work.
Although I do know what the wall stands for I would love to do a short version in my gardens but our rock is not flat here. I can see why my Irish ancestors settled here as the rocks are plentiful 😉
I have always wondered what the purpose of the last row of stones are. Regionally distinct, deterrent for whomever passing over, or a stash of more stone when you need to repair it? Just curious.
@@sunnyw4148 the top stones are called coping or capping stones and they stop sheep and cows knocking the wall down also the run water down the sides of the wall instead of through the wall
@@ants_countrylife, Geoff over at Brimwood Farms YT channel says he can't get a fence built because he'd have to pay for the fence first then get reimbursed and since he's just taken over his grandfather's farm in the UK, he doesn't have the money. Is that true or is there ways around it? 💕🌞🌵😷
Quite the difference between before and after. I know it's hard physical work - but your 'office view' is spectacular. Thank you for sharing.
Loved the birdsong!! Nice place to work!!
Such clever beautiful work you do, Ant.

Oh boy Ant. That looks terrific. I am in awe.

Hi Ant
Fantastic walling. Thank you for making the countryside safe for us and the animals🌟👍💯🍻
Beautiful job. I don't think you will ever run out of work in those beautiful surroundings with the birds singing. I would almost call this your Happy place. Thank you so sharing your work.
@@mariehansen2534 outdoors in the fresh air surrounded by open fields and wildlife I think it could just be my happy place 👌
Well done Anthony great job as always ❤
@@NorreenWhite Thankyou ❤️
Wow..that wall is amazing. I love seeing videos of things like this. It makes the world seem right.
Wow! You have a real gift Ant. Beautiful.
Hello from New Zealand, beautiful work.

Beautiful to see and hear! Thank you.
Thankyou Madeline I’m glad you enjoyed watching
Love dry stone walls😻
Skylarks!
Beautiful
Beautiful work👌👏👏👏
Thankyou
Wow! AMAZING!
Beautiful job, Ant! Your skills and abilities in working on these walls are wonderful to see!
Beautiful work. I haven’t been in the Uk for many years now, but was that a sky lark I could hear?
@@Ksd555 yes it was a skylark there are a lot of them around at the moment
What a beautiful video, thank you, with just wind and birds for music. Why are the cap stones (?) much craggier than the body of the wall?
Although I do know what the wall stands for I would love to do a short version in my gardens but our rock is not flat here. I can see why my Irish ancestors settled here as the rocks are plentiful 😉
Gorgeous! What length can you put up in a day's time. I'm amazed at this special gift of walling that you have.
I can usually build between 5 and 8 metres a day depending on the stone
Beautiful. I noticed most of the stones had fairly straight edges.l wonder who shaped them originally and how.
This is done by whoever originally built the walls

What an amazing skill! Seems like it might be one of those “lost arts”. Is it?
@@dianeroberts4475 it’s definitely a dying art as not many people are learning it
@@ants_countrylife I’ve always enjoyed puzzles like that. Ah to be young and learn that trade. 😂
With all the stone walls around you should have employment until you can’t lift the stones any more. 😁
I'm wondering if what you do is expensive? This farmer has meters and meters of repairs, how do they afford it? 💕🌞🌵😷
@@suzisaintjames a lot of the walls are repaired through government schemes for the farmers
@@ants_countrylife , oh! That's nice. It really keeps the history and traditions alive. 👍. 💕🌞🌵😷

@@suzisaintjames yes that’s right he will have to pay up from and then get reimbursed
