courtarches2aa
This photo show the arches that lead to exterior front door of the Apothecary entrance. To save money we built the entry into the Apothecary in same court as the Jamie & Claire courtyard. The walls behind the arches had two different looks and the court would be redress for each. I will show photos of that soon.

Outlander Paris – cobble concrete pour 2

DSCF0997

This photo shows the Plaster men and Carpenters pouring the concrete into forms of the courtyard space.
The plaster men bought many different sizes of cobbles and we looked at all of them and then picked what we thought looked the most like 18th century Paris streets. Then Alex the plaster man extraordinaire made a 4ft.x4ft. layout of the cobbles and then made a mold of this and then they stamped the concrete to make our court look like a real 18th century Parisian cobbled courtyard.They did a great job.
