These two exterior walls were coated with some other material that mimicked plaster. Part of it had begun to crack, bow out from the wall, and fail.
The masons pulled some off carefully to determine what was going on. They determined that it all needed to come off and the stone foundation re-pointed.
This a current in-progress photo. Once they are done, we plan to leave the stone foundation exposed. It's too good looking to hide behind some other material. We also plan to add open shelves for storage. I don't think it will truly return to being a root cellar, though.
