Rookstone & Marlock
You ever think about how to hide a stash inside stonework?
Sure, carve a little cavity into the wall, fill it with stone dust and mortar, then set a loose flagstone on top. When you need it, shift the flagstone, slide the bag out, and replace the flagstone. Just keep the seams clean and the stone weathered so nobody notices a seam.
Sounds sturdy enough, but make sure the cavity’s load is fully supported; a hidden void can weaken the wall over time. Keep the mortar sealed and check for cracks every few years. If you want to be extra careful, add a small stone anchor so the flagstone won’t slip when you lift it. Simple, but it’ll stand the test of time.
Nice, you’ve got the right idea. I’ll stick to the plan, watch for any cracks, and keep that anchor in place. No one needs a wobbly wall on our watch.
Good to hear you’re staying on top of it. Keep the anchor tight, check the mortar every few months, and you’ll have a wall that lasts as long as the stones do.
Got it, I’ll keep the anchor locked and the mortar sealed. Stone walls are only as good as their secrets. Stay sharp.
