    Have a great time over in Aussie! Your Videos are greatly appreciated, I tell all the Young-uns to watch them, the techniques you use will be long lost in a few years. The `Screws` (arthritis) Got me, but the Docs prescribed Co-Codamol and now the sun shines every day!

    Try the mortar raking tool which attaches on to the angle grinder. You can pick them up from screwfix and there relatively cheapish, think I paid £10. Its very good for raking the old lime mortar out of joints. Hope your arthritis gets better. Thanks for the content by the way, very interesting.

    We brought a 1930s detached house years ago and to my horror after l took off the blown plaster inside the bay window, there was nothing in between the bricks! I managed to bodge it up.l went up in the loft and the mortar was disintegrating in between the bricks up there! You think the dozy surveyor would have picked it up? Managed to sell it as the new owner was too tight to have a proper survey. Have a great time in Australia, l'm a similar age to you Andy and my knees are playing up, poor old gits!

      Lafarge NHL 3.5 from Chalkdown Lime and the colour wash is from Steadfast.I don't know how the prices compare with other companies as I've only used these for many years, NHL Limes differ immensely with the amount of pure lime content, Lafarge and St Astier being the best I wouldn't use any other.
