    Repointing using lime mortar

    Thanks!! it's portrayed as being difficult to do. Mixing correctly seems important. I've been searching and of course Amazon sells it 🤣 🤣 Think I'll get a bag and try a test patch. The video is good thanks. Do you remember what mix you used?? I do have a really good facility near me, so will...

    Repointing using lime mortar

    Anyone done it? I would like to repoint some parts of my house, using hydraulic lime, but it seems difficult to get the mix right and lots of scope for failure.

    Fuel crisis solution

    Dreadful idea.... 😁 😁 You would get lumps of frozen horse dung all over the place in winter. I hit a lump of the stuff while cycling. Almost put me in the canal.

    I don't bother if people don't thank me. If I have managed to help, I'm happy. It doesn't stop me from helping them in future.

    That was just a quick trip up and down. I do wear a harness when I'm working. I even walked away from the lift while still attached to it. Needless to say, when I reached the end of my tether, I didn't move the lift one bit. I almost ended up on my backside, but the harness saved me!. If you...

    It looks like a quality tower. I have one of those really cheap DIY towers. It was OK for reaching high hedges, but wasn't high enough to reach chimneys. The guy that fitted my chimney liner just used a ladder to reach to the chimney, then climbed up standing on top of it without a care in the...

    yes, £150 a day 😁 😁. My neighbour, who does a lot of his work with my tools was testing the water by asking about it. He never looks after my stuff. I wouldn't lend it to anyone, because it's a really dangerous bit of machinery and the LOLER certificate expired ages ago. Spares are a fortune...

    I do it on the final print quality to check for shinkage etc. Sometimes, it's not possible to test, because of the shape, but where it's a bush or something like that. I will stop the print as soon as I can test it. Other times I just print and go, then come back and!! Oh no. I've used the...

    A reluctant farewell

    I'm not complaining, just an observation that people often post something, get lots of really good advice, then are gone without any thanks. I'm sure I have done it, just too focussed on the issue, then you get it sorted and move on to the next problem and forget.
