Pointing with Lime Mortar

- In this video, we're continuing the huge project of taking of all the cement and repointing the walls around the Barn. It is a relatively simple process , the difficulty is in the amount of time it takes to complete all the walls but slowly in the end we´ll have a beautiful French pointed Barn

A very good video. I believe a final step is needed. When the mortar begins to harden take stuff brush and tamp the mortar. Camping removed the slick finish and allow for rough finish. However, it also promoted carbonation which is necessary for the curing process.
Great video. I use a pump spray to wet stone or brick joints before pointing. Spray for a couple of days after so it doesn't dry or crack.
Beat in with a churn brush when it's gone off a little then work around stones.
Bend a lip on my hawk 40mm up so lime doesn't slide back or off.
Great video. You remind me of my wife and I. We too work well together on jobs like this. Never afraid to get our hands dirty. Very nice pointing!
Not sure whose accent I enjoy more.)
Nothing wrong with Meryam’s English. I have 100% respect for anyone who is fluent in 2 or more languages.
Thank you very much
Hi can you also use normal cement - which is better?
Hi Michael, for a stone building I prefer to use lime mortar just because i want my walls to be able to dry and with cement any moisture in the middle of the walls we could end up with damp and problems inside ,of course you have to use what you think is best for your home
8:50 Meryam's English is lovely! 😁 Seriously - there's nowt wrong wi' it, lass!
Thank you
Hi Meryem! I’m fluent in Portuguese and also speak English ans Spanish but because they are not my mother language so don’t be hard on yourself! It’s amazing you ate fluent in 2 languages!
Also don’t forget to wear a mask when dealing with powders like that. They can cause chronic respiratory problems later. ❤
Thank you for your comment MrDiasJoana means a lot , have a wonderful weekend 🙂
Very nice job, your English is very good. What mix ratio did you use?
Thank you very much, depend on the tool I use ,you can use buckets , shovel... if I use trowel 3-4 trowels of sand and 1 of lime , have a wonderful day
Can I make a suggestion. For the bigger holes, deeper than one inch, use pinnings.
Thank you for the comment I normally use stones for a bigger and deeper holes
very good video guys, we are currently re pointing ie using lime mortar too it.s a huge job but very worth it..Nothing wrong with your english either Meryem it.s very good indeed.
Thank you very much
Well described Meryem and your standard of emglish is well up to par and the Spanish lilt just adds to it, pointing needs patience and you do it so well and will look forward to following you guys on this channel as I do follow the Car Channel.
