I'll try to get my camera working so I can get a picture of the foundation. 
You can see that it's just stacked rocks, no mortar at all. Very interesting 
how good someone can balance rocks way back when. This house was built in 
either the late 1800's or the early 1900's.

In a minute I'll post a pic to my blog. I got the camera to work. And now 
there's hardly any snow left to photograph. When the picture is there, I'll 
post a link. The foundation is pretty neat to see. In later years, others 
have used concrete blocks to replace rocks when they added onto the end of 
the house. I think the rock stacking is a lost or dying skill.
