our house and two outbuildings (one workshop and a former stable block, built by the previous owners to a seminar house) form a courtyard of 150m ². Most of it is covered with a historic setting, which consists of sandstone and boulders.
I had the photo edited for my English blog and leave it with the English words in here.
And this is the patch in a close-out (yes, I should have more weeds ...):
For whatever reason, about 2m ² patches were missing from the stable building
Because this area was transformed after each rainfall in a kind of wetland, we have decided to pave the missing piece. And of course we wanted to use as possible original patch. We have learned that much lack of old material that was removed during earlier renovations, is still to be found somewhere on the property. So
we started to look for paving stones ... And - have actually found that: in the garden, in the flower beds, in the former pond (even a gold mine for all sorts of things, most recently appeared on an old door ...):
First, my husband some ground away (about 20 cm thickness) and made an indentation with about 10 cm. Pebble-sand mixture, then filled and fitted corresponding stones, quite a puzzle:
Get out the same in Part II of this paper ...
