Re: My "new" 1968 c20
Love all of the work you have done and your attention to the details.
Following along. Weird question. I noticed in some of your photos that you have a rock wall on your property, are the rocks local to your property? How is the soil/dirt, is it full of rock or mostly soil? We don't have many rock walls around Texas but our soil type varies from sandy to rocky to rich prairie dirt. |

I cant dig here without hitting rocks. There are stone walls all over my property was an active farm from the early 1800s till around 1970 . But the soil is very good
