Repointed front wall in porch

Hi folks,

Here is another late update for July and August . I decided the repoint the section of front wall that is in the porch. I makes up one quarter of the front of the housstoneworkll have will give me a feel for how the rest will look when done.

I raked out all the joints ready for repointing. There was a strong smell of damp when I did this as all the moisture trapped  in the wall started to escape. This had cleared after a week now that the wall can breath.

I repointed the wall with CLM 28 course lime mortar for the Cornish Lime Company that I have been using for the rest of the house. As you can see from the photos it really lifts stonework and contrasts nicely with the brown granite.

Thats all for now folks.
