  • okay, this is non-DIY, but looking for opinions on this piece of paid work (clue: I'm not happy). (it's half-done: still to be repointed. )

    ..schaut scheisse aus!

  • What are they supposed to have done? It looks like removing pointing, With a grinder. From soft reds. Eeek.

  • Is that a lintel we are looking at?

    In fairness to them, they’ve had to but out the cement pointing because it’s probably too strong to bolster out. It will probably look fine when re-pointed with lime mortar or a weaker cement mix.

    You should ask them what they are using for the pointing as suggested already above. Ready to mix lime mortar is cheap.
