 I think this is our job. Yeah, spent the last two and a half days raking all this out You see the far end just there. That's an extension there That's new brick and jointing. So we've just stopped at the two of them taking everything else out They got damp problem inside and you can see the color there See the green The water comes down pretty sure it comes down this dry verge to this point here I think it was cut and drips off the end there Down the facing board across the soffit. It's the wires straight down the wall So we're gonna get gonna get that repaired, but eventually getting all this replaced Because it is getting on a bit and we've got a just DPC there And a little bit around the front as well a bit of patching a few cracks and then there's a patch around the back where the New extension meets the old brick work and then there's a concierge. So there's like a Section of 150 bricks. I did that yesterday. That's the last bit So today's the nice easy relaxing bit no more mess So it's a customer's tower as well. That's handy So it shouldn't take long to get at the top of the pike and we can start dropping the scaffold down as we go Yeah, so in I'll just do a quick one The gauge I use and how I get the gauge right So I'll just find somewhere to put the camera and get Fibs already in it's the sick of that we use Max mix And they would only be a small bit for the little tiny mountain Probably don't even put 10 in probably five of that Don't really need a lot of Tiny bit of water Because you can't make it wet. It's wet. You can't use it. It's got to be very very dry So you start off dry and add water to it Very very slowly And you've got a mix enough to mix in the mixer It doesn't matter what you use the same thing to measure everything and we do it for two on four of those one cement Get some cement in quick one This this handsome cement. I'm not sitting in the brown bags before And the bag is pretty full of quality. I'm guessing With the cement shorts at the moment. This is in these bags are imported Because the handsome bags usually different color and what a better quality So I mean it might be wrong but that's my guess. This is important cement. So I've got 16 sand 7 cement. So obviously that's too much cement So 7 cement to 4 sand is 28 to 1 28 to 7. So we need to get another 12 sand in there I was put sand in first then the cement then add the sand The sand stops the cement sticking to the back at the beginning of the mix So as you can see that is way too dry But just leave it Give it a few minutes The fabric starts to activate and it will start to wettel Cool Normally you throw some water in that There's no point yet You can't take water out So there's the rest of the fuel I'm using Trusty points and trowel It's just a cheap point and trowel like Just ground it around the top Brand new Marshall Town jointer Brush for cleaning Tuck points just in case you need that Little handboard Handmade Had that for years And we've got the Picking case we've missed any bits out So they're going up Now we're going to need a load of clips to clip all these wires back as well See that's starting to come true now Clearly water Just not yet Alright, two Two shortest days in Underground Can reach now Scath is getting put away Which is good So we can speed up it tomorrow Get a full day on it It's only just after 4 o'clock now We're going to be about 7 tomorrow Work through to at least start 4 or 5 o'clock Trying to get about 8 metres in Plus the The beds are a lot bigger down the bottom here They're really tight at the top which is really hard Trying to get you motoring to a tight bed And a tight cross joint So, erm Yeah Had to get back and go and see Alex for his birthday Right, another much to do when you're pointing This is already done once you've ground out You've got to get all the dust out You've got to get these drifts You've got to get these bricks spotless As you can see once you've ground out You get right back to the aris of the brick Nice clean aris So your new mortar's got something to stick to And especially in weather like this You've got to keep the wall damp So that your mortar doesn't go off too quick Now these bricks are quite Dense So once they get too wet they stay wet Which you don't want You do want them to dry out a bit It's mainly the mortar behind that you want to stay damp So it's not sucking all the water out of your Your mix So On the older properties it tends to suck the water straight out But these are the newer brick You know what I've already done I've already cleaned all the crap out That was done straight away So all I'm doing now is just what Damping it down ready As you can see They're not drying very quick Look there You watch that mortar The bricks aren't The bricks are keeping the water So anyway that's it Make sure you keep the brick damp That's today's progress Good day today It's always the year round the ground From the to the near 24 courses up Right across The window Into the window And we're on this section now It's Getting on for four o'clock I think Going to push on a bit So Make the mortar mixed Let's get my bucket troll See how stiff that is Even that's probably on the wet side It's very Very doughy sand there It'd be crap for bricklaying But great for pointing Get yourself a manageable amount So your beds are roughly 10 mil So you push the mortar down to roughly 10 mil As you can see It's probably 10-15 mil deep So 10-15 mil back So there you go That's on your troll Look at that stayed on Into the joint Push Don't push it too hard though It'll spread out onto the brick Across joints this is a big one So put plenty on there Thinner the joints the higher it is Not to make a mess Just do a bit down here a bit closer You're aiming to get that joint full The mortar's going to get in and frost So You're aiming to get that joint full Across joints same again Push it on just so it's touching I'm going to push it in Make sure it's full I'm working right way It's supposed to work Left to right So as you put your mortar in You're pushing against what you've already put in Like that That's too wet The wetter is the more chance of it getting in the brick It's just harder to handle So I'm going to get this next section in And then get back to you when I'm jointing it up Ah for me to that So just lash it in Trying to keep it off the bricks Which isn't easy with these New stick brick But that'll soon weather off Now Fat energy jointer This is a Marshall town I can't read the measurements I think it's 3 quarts for an inch It's the biggest they do So As you're doing it Put the heel in like that So as you're drawing it across with the heel You're compressing The mortar into the joint So you've got to do it while it's still soft But not too soft So send that across Now flick it back Put the toe in And flick it back So that's all compacted Same again Heel Toe Using the toe as a trowel Get the pressure on it So you go like that And when you're finishing off you put as flat as you can Get a nice finish on it So Just dragging them all in Just compacting them first Always beds first as well Using the heel again To compact them in Toe, heel Toe, heel Toe, heel Get the gist of it What I do is Flip it Thinner end And that compacts it again So Now I just get the side of the joints And scrape the excess off I used to brush this Sponge, as you see by the edge of it I'm just using it side on Gently as you like Just do it like that Get the sponge tight 45 degrees Get your beds in across joints That's it, now all I do then is Horizontally What that does is Because the feather of the brick Just blends the mortar into the feather of the brick Seals it all up Cuts off any excess Stuff like this can't be helped Because there's a lot of chip brick So we just let it go That's it Beginner's guide how to repoint a wall So if this video is any good to you And it's helped you out Make sure you subscribe for more videos Give us a like Hopefully you liked it And hit that notification button

just under the window at the front This bit was done Thursday on real last And this is today The front of the fender Down And across To the This area So I'm just finishing off now And I've still got to put the cables back Take them all back up Put the downspout some around the back Put that downspout on And Bag up about two thirds of a ton of sand Into the van to get rid of it Because we're done today Don't want you coming back just to get the sand Because we need the sand for tomorrow's job So that's it Sponge done for Right, let's get tidied up And finished off
