repointing living room fireplace with commentary

Repointing the fireplace was a lovely day which ended with a great result. As my repointing goes on I am really gaining confidence. I love the fact you see results quickly. I went through a lot of lime putty and it took longer than planned but it was a worthwhile day.
Thanks for watching!

🏆👩 About us and our goals 👨🏆
We are Gill and Richard and we are both British.
In 2004 we moved from England to Austria. At the time Rich promised me that we would return to the UK asap.
In 2021 we were still in Austria and by chance we heard of an old unloved Victorian cottage for sale in Wiltshire, England.
The cottage was only just within our budget and we knew that it was going to be a challenging renovation project.
Our goals were "simple"-
1) Buy the house
2) Split our time between Austria (Rich's job) and the UK
3) Renovate and move asap
4) Retire to the UK and live happily ever after
These plans were delayed in February 2022 when Rich's employer asked us to move to Texas for 1 year. The plans were further delayed in March 2023 when Rich was diagnosed with cancer and he had to undergo 6 months of chemotherapy
In October 2023 Rich's cancer was in remission so we moved to the UK to start the renovation.
We hope you enjoy our videos.
Gill and Rich

Gill's been at it again. I'm worried that if I sit in the same place for too long that I'll get re pointed...could be very painful 🤔🤔🤔🤔😁😁 We hope you enjoy the video! Rich

Brambles beauty is her lumps and bumps. Lovely video ❤. Great snow story 😂. Have a wonderful week.

Another job to tick off. Gill doing her favourite task of repointing. Do not forget the hearth has to come out a certain distance in order to comply with fire regulations or whatever 'elf and safety rulings may apply! Have a wonderful weekend, Sophie.

Good job! Wouldn't be without my log burner.

[@WendyMonaghan]

Keep up the good work Gill.Can't wait to see the log burner installed .❤

[@tracybush8115]

Haha, I had to laugh at "Bit of a rough diamond, like you my dear." And Gill saying, "Thank you, dear." Ah Gill, we gals may have lost a bit of our diamond luster as the years progressed but that doesn't diminish our value. So there - Rich!!! Haha. I wonder if the camera position is catching a severe shadow causing the soot in the fireplace to look that black. Of course soot is black, but after you had it cleaned, perhaps it's more the shadow we're seeing. Could you comment please?

Bless you both. My daughter inaw might have a malignant cancer in her neck. I'm really scared for her. Your helping me focus on other stuff 😢

[@Bramblecottageuk]

@jennydenston5680 I am so sorry to hear what you are going through and my heart goes out to you and your daughter in law. I can only say that you are not alone. Stay positive which I realise is easy to say but harder to feel. We completely understand and if there is anything we can do to help please don't hesitate. Any questions or simply talking to someone who has been there, we are here. You can always email us too. You are in our thoughts. Gill and rich.

[@jennydenston5680]

Thank you. I know you have gone through hell. My daughter in law is avoiding the issue. God help my son if the results of the biopsy turns out to be the worse.

[@Bramblecottageuk]

@jennydenston5680 Hello Jenny, if you or your daughter in law or son want to talk, send me an email at [e-mail] and we will make it happen. Best wishes, Rich
