I'm an English bricklayer that has taught myself to repoint and repair using lime mortar and also plastering using lime. Many thanks for sharing you knowledge, I find your posts absolutely amazing.
I appreciate this content. I have a 1900s Baltimore row house and someone repointed the entire house with cement. I am undertaking a massive restoration project to ensure the building lasts.
Love love your videos. I've worked as a carpenter in Canada for over 2 decades and this type of knowledge is not something that is taught in my lifetime, at least not here. Even though I've worked on many old houses which required this type of knowledge to properly repair.
Really enjoyed this, took me back to when I was an apprentice. If you use the soot surely this would cause sulphate salt contamination of the mortar and bring with it issues you get in and around chimney breasts?
Anyone got thoughts on Jacobean daub as plaster? The place we're restoring has quite a lot of what looks like hemp shiv, as well as clay and hair. At the end of the day, suspect it doesnt really matter - more a questionnof thebtexture and colour once dried...
Ok so I watched Part 1 first and you made the mortar with 1 part lime putty and 2 parts sand - so where did all the hairs come from that we see as you apply it to the lathes?

Excellent, thank you.
always apply with the lats not the opposite as it makes the overlap on the back of the lats very in consistant extra weight .using less .
What do you mean? This isn't very clear

You just mix it in before applying
@@ParsleyPunch Hmmm... which just leaves me with more questions! LOL What kind of hairs - where do you get them from? How much do you add?
@@ListenToYourHorse I'll find out today from our expert on site and give you his response
In part 1, @14:08 they incorporate horse hair but don't mention how much.
Is the brick dust and soot a good pozzolan additive to make a hydraulic lime?
How much hair?
Brilliant, many thanks
