We seem to never run out of things to do at the house. With the weather turning nicer, we can do more things outside. Will decided that it was time to do some repointing. Mixing the mortar, spraying the concrete, and stuffing in the mixture, Will worked his way around the house. He dyed the mixture with mortar dye in order to better match the brick.
The difficulty for him really comes in with the type of brick we have: it is wire cut and therefore not a smooth face. Once mortar got onto one of the brick grooves, it meant lots of scraping later on. Not a job I wanted to take on, that is for sure. Will got his wire brush and will wait until the mortar is completely dried and set before using it. You will have to wait for that to happen before I am able to show you the finished project.
