Video Description

With perfect spring weather, all my energy has been focussed on repointing an old barn on my property with traditional lime mortar. Lime-based mortar has been the cornerstone of British masonry for centuries, dating back at least 2,000 years to Roman times. Created by crushing and burning limestone, then slaking it with water to form a powder that's mixed with sand, this traditional technique produces a breathable mortar perfect for historic structures.
