The page illustrates shortly as it comes restored a collapsed wall.
Today they do not come in fact more realizes new walls to you but it is attempted to restore those collapses you for the action of waters, the push of lands and the degradation of the stones that constitute them.
The technique is that one that traditional one completely to dry without concretes, apparently simple but that great manual experience demands one.
The total length de walls of Five Lands has been estimated equal to approximately 12000 Km, advanced to that one of the Chinese wall.

DESCRIPTION
a) The wall has collapsed

b) It starts with cleaning the affected area.
the stones are separated into large, small and medium-sized;
To replace the decayed stones you wear the new stones, on average between 40% and 60%

c) First phase
The wall is rebuilt in stages subsequent horizontal

c.1) Laying the stones larger and better shaped to the outside. We try to place the best stones in the case when correcting the shape with hand tools

c.2) Filling behind the first stones with medium to large irregular stones. They settle behind the larger stones that can not be used toward the outside so as to minimize the gaps

c.3) It paves using small to medium stones and earth
This layer closes the gaps of the previous one and prepares for the next layer.

d) Proceed with successive layers and more layers until the completion of the wall

e) At the end sits on top of a layer of soil for a good paved walking finished rebuilding the wall is no material is advanced, even to little features!

The front structure and the task of closing the gaps while back guarantee water drainage to protect the wall and soil cultivation.
