I'm currently renovating an old house in Southern Germany. Your videos are giving me the knowledge and confidence to do the job by myself , thereby saving a huge amount of money. It's fun as well as hard work.
Most importantly, it's given me an appreciation of the knowledge and skills people like you have. Thanks.

your videos are very interesting , building and tree work, i'm an arborist my self so i've been watching your forestry,tree work. It's good to find someone that actually  knows his stuff and to learn from... , so thank you.
If you ever need an extra pair of hands with forestry or residential tree work I would be very interested 😁!! , thanks

Outstanding presentation and content. I’m a relative newcomer to lime mortar but I’ll never used concrete again if I can avoid it. Lime mortar has such character, especially when you add something special like decomposed granite to give color and texture to the finished product. Thanks from Australia!

Fantastic videos. Having bought a Welsh stone and lime cottage that has been covered in cement. Inside and out in the 70's. I wish you had been doing the videos 15 years ago. I was searching for advice on YT then and there was nothing.

Good to see you again! Thanks for sharing!

You are a hero ❤🎉 for owners of old properties. The respectful way you try to understand what the locals dealt with 🙏 bit about how they removed salt from beach sand to put into mix is is superb info!
Can we get a video on lime rendering for exterior walls ? I have a project to start and I don’t know whether to repoint before I render with lime,render base coat…

Fantastic work ...

That granite house will stand forever

I Live in  Oban  Lovely people, I do miss it I must admit😊

Brilliant these videos pal. Makes me want a career change.

Maybe in my next life. Keep it up!

What an incredible back drop. Stunning location. Just wondered if you considered doing a vid on the application of different lime morters. What idealy would you use hot lime morter for, vs NhL limes etc. I'm confused with a possible up coming project I may or may not undertake with a 1870s brick boundary wall. Any advise would be gratefully received.
Thanks.

All good and very informative ,I’m from down south and not sure we get material like your using ,yes we can get the lime but the aggregate we have building sand , washed grit which I supposed it bit like your course material but is grey and wouldn’t give the same finished colour,  any advice please

Thanks for these videos. I have an old stone block/lime mortar/bathstone house in s wales and this is helping me tackle it myself. Did you have a suggestion for a supplier for NHL 3.5 lime you could suggest?

With respect, I'd be concerned if that was my house being repointed with NHL 3.5. Lots of research done now confirming NHLs are largely not fit for historic buildings and they will continue to gain strength long into the future. You have replaced cement with another relatively impermeable mix. Why did you not consider a hot mix non hydraulic with pozzolan? As you say, original mortar was exactly that, and good conservation practice is to use like for like unless there is an overwhelming reason not too. Not being overly critical here and your workmanship looks great, just think your mix is potentially wrong

Is the mix 2 parts sharp sand 1 part aggregate 1 part nhl 3.5? Great explanations and demonstration thankyou!!

These videos are great. Thanks so much. What is your opinion of lime products like conserv which are already prepared and you just mix with water? They look easier for folks like me who don't have a cement mixer.
