From a hill to a Hobbit house

[mgmine]

The back of my yard is a hill so I decided to put it to good use. Here is a small Hobbit house that I made by carving out the hill. It isn't really a house but is made to look like one.

That is so cute. I would sit in the yard, dreaming up tales about going down a rabbit hole if I had one like that. That is genius of you, how long did it take to make it?

Thanks I think it took about 4 days. Here is a link to my Youtube channel showing how it was made

And yes I'm a LOTR fan that is where I got the idea.

That's excellent, thanks for sharing it with us How did you do the stone work, are they set in place with mortar? Couldn't tell from the video. Your gnome is a lucky little guy!

No they all flew the coop many years ago.

Yes I used mortar but if I were to do it again I would use thin set. The mortar didn't stick in a few spots so I had to replace a few stones this spring. I used the thin set and it seems to be sticking much better. When it was dry I filled in the spaces around the stones with mortar just like you would do with brick. The gnome is very happy. He is almost 3 feet tall made out of cast iron and has a frog in his hand.
