Good job, natural hydraulic lime is great but really have to mix the life out of it and pack it in when repointing and then beat it back wirh a stiff brush/churn brush,did loads of brickwork and stonework builds using it and the finished jobs have always looked class
@markhep Don't worry Mark . I been busy aswell just had two weeks off always manic before hols get stuff done .not looking forward to going back Monday mate 😂👍
Another lovely job Mark! I’m just repointing my house here in Cardiff and I’m already hating disking out the old black ash mortar😂. I’m going for 5 sand and 1 cement. I’m still not sure what’s best for my house as nobody can seem to agree. I’d love to go from black to that light lime though I’ll tell you that much mate 👌
@@neil3867 thanks mate .you could do 5 sand one cement and one hydrated lime that would make it light .that's what mix I used on that big stone extension I built not long ago.its on my channel if you wanted to have a look at the colour of it 👍👍👍
@@williamwilliam7100 🤣yes my lad doesn't like it at all .but I think when he learns how to to it properly he will start and enjoy it a bit more hopefully lol 👍👍
😂 I went to York for my bag of lime, Travis Perkins I think😂 it makes good job on old lime mortar walls, good tip about using dark sand because it does dry a light colour
@@nettiejackson9246 yes mate was same place.only the one place I could find it .I told them it's hard to get hold of .he said that's funny we sell loads of it .I said yes because you the only bloody place that sells it 🤣👍👍
@@mrfrank8234 yes I mix it really slow then let it rest and mix it a bit more .it's a bit easier in a mixer you can just leave it on then can't you 👍👍👍
@@Ste-ux1rm yes I wouldn't use a gun with it you really have to pack it in there .it could be the gun that was the problem or the stone was just sucking out the water too fast for it 👍👍👍
Good job fella , looks very rustic, puts value on the houses, stay lucky, stay safe! 😉
Thanks a lot mate .👍👍👍

Lime is lethal so probs best to wear a mask, gloves and goggles when mixing.

Hello Mark not getting at you but NHL lime should really be mixed for around 20 min guessing your not far off mate
@@mrfrank8234 yes I mix it really slow then let it rest and mix it a bit more .it's a bit easier in a mixer you can just leave it on then can't you 👍👍👍
@@markhep Nice job mate 👍
@@mrfrank8234 cheers mate 👍👍👍
Done 2 jobs in lime but both stone
No matter what we did , just cracked all over
We used guns to put it in but got told not to use them
@@Ste-ux1rm yes I wouldn't use a gun with it you really have to pack it in there .it could be the gun that was the problem or the stone was just sucking out the water too fast for it 👍👍👍
25 knicker for lime... Thats like me trying to track down white mortar...
@@glynnepritchard2526 yere it's a bit ridiculous really .Apparently they don't make it hear it's imported from Europe that's what they told me lol 👍👍👍
Tuck pointer
@@thelightofficial666 👍yep forgot that one 👍👍👍
@@markhep I always call it flat bar because i forget too lol
Half of the time they never have nhl in always have to go like Malton or sumat if I get caught short🤪 you’d think they’d stock it most places 🤷🏻♂️
@@craigstyrin3453 🤣yes bloody no one seems to sell it 👍👍
@@markhep especially York and your not to far from me! Amount of solid houses in Yorkshire, well there every where 🤣
@@craigstyrin3453 🤣yes .that's probably why they bloody cement them lol .more work for us though when they do lol 👍👍
