Lovely job. I've seen others finish with a churn brush. Is that necessary on brick ?

Very useful video for a beginner like me. A pity you did`nt record the mix?

I feel your pain Budd. Repointing flint walls at the moment and slow but well worth the effort. Looks great!!!

Cheers for watching, this hot weather must be helping you a bit 👍

My man can you help on the color and mixed you did to get this mortar ? I like the tool you’re using to polish the mortar, what is it ?

Hi many thanks for watching, the mix is bought already pre mixed, it comes in one ton bags and it is always the same colour, we just put it straight into the mixer to make it usable, the tool we are using is a piece of hard wood ten mm thick and about 125mm long and cut to an angle of 45 degree, nothing more simple than this, I hope this helps 👏👏🧱

Nice work old budd, I bet that old lime gives your hands some stick, I think another old boy called paddle something told you to wear gloves 😂😂👏

Greetings hope your well I have a quick question . What do you recommend for small jobs like missing bricks . Is there a difference between the pointing lime and bricklaying lime mixture or is it how you mix ? Thank you mate .

Hello mate how did you finish it did you beat it with a churn brush ?

I expected something else that would compress the mortar into the joints too. The lime mortar appears to be simply put into the joints from the trowel and just the surface is "floated" with the piece of hardwood with no pressure to push it into completely fill the joints. Beating with a churn brush compresses the mortar.

Ah a bit of Flemish bond if I'm not mistaken. See the queen closers. Nice job Budd. 👍👍

@@BuildingwithBudd Hi Budd. Engineer by trade but during lockdown I amused myself by studying brickwork and foundations etc. Sad i know, but now can recognise stretcher bond, flemish, english bond and english wall bond. I wont insult you by saying what the queen closers are. Cheers mate 👍👍👍

Hi Budd, I work with lime all the time. Just wondering what type of lime you are using there?

Andy thanks for watching, on this type of work we normally use pre mixed lime , it comes in 1 ton bags , they do about 5 different shades but the beauty of it it’s a constant colour, on this particular little bit of work we didn’t have a lot left and it was an extra so we decided to lay in normal compo , then take out and point it with the pre mixed lime, 👍👍👏

Why didn't you just build it with lime?
