Oh, so pretty much like slate or sedimentary rock. Great color to them....and those mortar joints are on point...very consistent, which is not easily done with real stone....very nicely done!

I just know that a stone structure will develop condensation on the inside when heating it. There are all kinds of clear sealers, that penetrate, and you would never know there was a coating on it. Is doesn't peel off, and looks like there is nothing on it. I dont know how cold it gets there though.
No that’s more Oklahoma stone which is the floor stone. This is literally like all sizes of bricks but stone. Most are around the same thickness but after the first 3-4 feet off the ground the stone walls are 6” thick on the outside going up. First 3-4’ are 6” thick stone on outside and another 6” thick on inside.
Interesting. Not very cold very much like Dallas climate in the winter. It’s 80 here today. But JAN and FEB you get some 20s sometimes teens for a few days.
It’s so humid up there though in July and August wouldn’t you want it to breathe some?
There's actually great trout fishing in that area.

Yeah, I just dont know about the climate. I just know that when heat passed through the stone, or wood for that matter, it will leave moisture on the surface it passes through. I was just curious. I mean, the obvious guys to trust, are the masons that built it. If they say you don't need to do anything then I assume they know.
oh they can build. Thinking outside the box
is another ballgame. Lol
I’ll see how it goes. I’d rather react to it down the road than close it up now and can’t go back
Not really. In the Ouachitas it’s a lot more small trout. North of there in the ozarks maybe bigger I dunno. This area im in has some monster walleye in a lake and river about 10-15 minutes from this cabin. A few very deep lakes in this area
I'm assuming you're not too far from Broken Bow. Below that dam I've caught several >24" Browns that weigh 4-6 lbs.
Mountain Fork holds some big browns above and below Broken Bow. They plant rainbows too but I've never caught any sizeable ones in that area.
interesting. Same mtns but that’s due west about 60-80 miles or so as the crow flies. The old guys all tell me there are a few decent trout around 12-14” where I am at but nothing big. All I’ve seen are little ones.
How is that foundation holding up. I seem to remember that you had questions or issues concerning that
foundation is as good as it gets man. Went 2’ down to bedrock with walls = 12” thick stone and rebar. Rebar going up 12” thick stone walls for 3-4’ as well
