pointing

[hotrod]

Rake out the existing mortar to half inch or 15mm and re point using a 5 to 1 mix of cement and silver sand.

You're getting confused Pete, silver is the name of your horse.

Oh, that revelation comes as no surprise whatsoever

back again with some pics.

The first three pics show the wall as it is now. Most of it is like pic 1 and 2, some of it is like pic 3. I was intending to patch point the bits that look line pic 3 but can you tell me if the wall in pic 1 and 2 is shot as well.

The last two pics show the garage wall i've raked out today. This was a mess cause the previous owner had decking right up to the garage wall and the water could not drain away from the wall resulting in hardly any mortar left. I have now repointed it and will show you pics once it is dry.
