hi there,

 

thanks for that link,

 

We're buiding a wall at our home and I am trying to incorporate some interesting features such as a corner or crack. We're building a relatively small (16 by 16 ft) wall at our seattle home. Any tips on weatherproofing, materials, design etc. are greatly apreciated. apologies if this has been hashed out before, but I did'nt find anything on a quick search.

 

great site!

thanks

Was I missing something but I didn't see any useful information on that link. As for a quick and easy guide, Metolius's wall building booklet is pretty useful. They might have it on their website or willing to send you a copy. I got mine in 60 hold set that I bought. Also I started a thread a while back that was pretty useful for me. You also might want to check out the Nicros website, they have a ton of info on training I am sure there is something about building.
