Repointing a Stone Foundation

Last summer, when I truly paid attention to the holes in the mortar of the foundation at Blake Hill House, I spent a couple of sleepless nights convinced that the entire house might fall down on my watch. Who else jumps too quickly to the end of a story? The foundations of old houses do need regular inspection and maintenance, but repointing a stone foundation is a straightforward DIY task. In this video, I explain how to repoint a stone foundation using lime mortar, which is approved for historic restoration and recommended for use between antique bricks and stones like mine. I've answered some basic questions on the companion blog article. However, for technical questions, please visit https://www.Limeworks.us and move forward with the brilliant folks there who know everything there is to know about lime mortar and historic masonry repairs.
