The house I was born and raised in was built that way. It was just to save cost. You throw the rocks in, then run a board down next to the form in an attemt to move them away from the edge to not leave a hole. Large Barn my dad helped build too. Hand mixed. Started at 7 to one. money got short and changed to 9 to 1. When they got to the hay mow (about 7 foot) they mixed at 11 to one. About 1917. Fallen down now, but chucks on the ground still hold together pretty good. Talk about work--two people and 30 by 40 barn walls, hand mixed. Needless to say no building codes then. Kennyp
