  • @DJ-uk5mm

    I’ve read the comments. .. I think it’s a great job but I agree with the lime morta comments. The benefit of the lime mortar is that it is also sacrificial i.e. it is weaker than the stone and therefore any moisture that enters the joints affectively Lee Child time is the motor which can easily be replaced rather resulting in cracking stones which ultimately could result in the failure of the wall i’m not a builder but I’ve used both cement and lime water and working with lime all day it’s just as easy as long as the weather is not turning too cold so I’m surprised they didn’t use lime based mortar.

    All opinion aside, great work. The castle surely was originally built over several years. There are obvious start/stops from previous artisans, And the boys here, did a fine job while leaving there own personality. If cost is no object, one can pick apart ANYONE'S work. But in reality, if one shows proper adherence to quality work, one then can look at this video as a look a fine craftsman doing there art.
    Fine job.

  • @harrymills2770
    @harrymills2770 4 роки тому +16

    There's a genius to using natural, rough stone. It's probably more fun than just laying bricks, which I'm sure both these guys have done plenty of. My main experience with masonry/concrete has been dealing with sagging structures, where the footings are poor underneath something really heavy. Generally that meant taking a jackhammer to the durn thing and starting over.

    Matches well save for the adjoining wall where there is a definite deliniation (9:51) between old and new. It would have been best to take out some of the older stones in order to feather the joint and not have one continuous line joint.
