In fact, the only remaining requirement for the bale wall is to fill in under the base frame with supporting stones. We'd decided it was easier to put in the frame level, and then pack it out underneath, rather than try to build up to a level.
The weather is looking possible for the bale raising to be next Saturday, and the more time the wall has to dry the better, so I sacrificed my day off, Dave made me two mixes and I had a happy time putting a jigsaw together.

Stones lined up dry ...
... then mortared in. The troughs will be filled with gravel to assist drainage of any moisture that does ever get into the bales.
