Good job, natural hydraulic lime is great but really have to mix the life out of it and pack it in when repointing and then beat it back wirh a stiff brush/churn brush,did loads of brickwork and stonework builds using it and the finished jobs have always looked class

Better you than me, I don’t have the patience these days for grinding and repointing large areas. If I may make an observation, not a good idea to gauge product of different mass using a flat trowel or shovel. The heavier thicker mass product (sand) will bulk up versus the lighter less thick product ( lime or cement) will not bulk up. This is why batching mortar using a shovel is no good. Batching using a container or bucket is best. I see guys batching mortar thinking that 6 shovels of sand and 1 shovel of cement gives them 6:1 ratio, it doesn’t. Their shovel of cement is not the same bulked up quantity as their bulked up fatty sand. Their ratio they think is 6:1 is often more like 10:1. Experienced guys know to make sure they put extra cement in to make up for this discrepancy but it’s still hit and miss. In the early days I shovelled the cement but later decided to gauge the cement in a bucket and shovel the sand. It’s actually easier as well as more accurate. I forget the quantities now, I haven’t been on the trowel for several years, but I think I worked out it was 1 1/2 buckets of cement into the mixer with 12 heaped shovels of sand. Some builders require both cement and sand to be bucket batched, but it’s not necessary to gauge both, but I do believe in bucket batching the cement. Especially if the labourer or apprentice is doing the mixing.

Half of the time they never have nhl in always have to go like Malton or sumat if I get caught short🤪 you’d think they’d stock it most places 🤷🏻‍♂️

Looks really good work

Another lovely job Mark! I’m just repointing my house here in Cardiff and I’m already hating disking out the old black ash mortar😂. I’m going for 5 sand and 1 cement. I’m still not sure what’s best for my house as nobody can seem to agree. I’d love to go from black to that light lime though I’ll tell you that much mate 👌

Hello Mark not getting at you but NHL lime should really be mixed for around 20 min guessing your not far off mate

😂 I went to York for my bag of lime, Travis Perkins I think😂 it makes good job on old lime mortar walls, good tip about using dark sand because it does dry a light colour

25 knicker for lime... Thats like me trying to track down white mortar...

Done 2 jobs in lime but both stone No matter what we did , just cracked all over We used guns to put it in but got told not to use them

was that all in with materials

Nice job Mark, must be soul destroying see all that wall to do! Looks more in keeping at the end though. Stay well.

Its 300mm rest either side not the standard for over 2.3m ?

Looks great. Never seen those in bench exhaust systems in action.

From one Yorkshireman to another: it’ll do! Looks bloody amazing mate 👍👍

Nice one mark kitchen job looks amazing. Look forward to the next vid 🙌🏽🙌🏽🧱👍🏽

Nice one Mark, kitchen and remodeling looks amazing

The block paving looked 'wow' and the kitchen great choice of tile came together 🎉🎉

Looks stunning that kitchen Mark and the drive way looks great. Good to see your back on. Stay well.

Good one Mark. The sagging floor.. use cross beams if theres enough room

Cheers Mark thanks for the update. That kitchen looks fantastic. Its nice to see the jobs when they are near to completion

Woo how nice is that mark love it 💪

Why have you used different levelling system for the walls?

I always thought that the insulation in the wall cavity had to be taped on the joints?

8:39 no slates ?

Don't forget to get a discount from your water company for not taking your roof water away

What is the cost of such work?

Hiya mark class video. Iv been to ask you would you ever build your own house 🤔👍

A lot easier than messing around with them great lumps of steel 😂😂✌️

Looks a good job them clips never used them but might add them in next quote and give them a blast

I watch a few of your sort on this tube thingy...... YOU are the Best....bar fxxxxxx none!!! RESPECT... especially with your glass back 😂😂😂❤✌️

👍 good job

Mobster 🫣🧱👍🏽😊

Good job buling

Another monster job mark, looks amazing now . 👌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏽🧱👍🏽

Monster tiles for a very large kitchen space. Well done Mark looks great

Thats a nice job Mark. Taking care so all the joints flow, classic. My heart was in my mouth when you panned the bottom of the stairs after laying. I thought the tile was cracked but it was just the pattern 😮 phew. Thanks for the update

I’m losing track, you move so fast Mark, but is this the big steel job?

expensive floor from support batons to finished tile must be more than £200 sq m with heating

Looking good Mark, I wasn’t sure about low level cooker hob in the middle of the kitchen early in the vlog but you managed to hide it (LOL). Great job. Stay well.

The one I'm replacing is a non timer one, I've mistakenly ordered a timed one, can I use a timed one or will only a non timed one work?

What is the replacement model number please?

I had to do that for my parent's wet room, albeit with slightly smaller tiles. What I did was have the centre of the tile joins running to the centre of the drain so it was symmetrical, although I had to make sure that it didn't leave me with silly narrow strips by the walls or the edges of the shower tray fall. However, I can see a truly symmetrical cut in both directions won't work with those sized tiles. In all, I found it something of a nightmare to get it right. with rather smaller tiles then you have to line up diagonal cuts in two rows each side. Also, the shower fal area was rectangular, so the cuts were not 45 degrees and their had to be cuts where the fall started. Something to be planned before buying the tiles I think, and maybe larger tiles are easier. I have my own bathroom to do some time.

Where I live, you can't rest structure on brick veneer. The building code says that brick veneer can only support its own weight.

They are really safety concerned working off one board

You don't really need to put a line or a level on a ridge, on a hip yes definitely

Massive respect for taking that job on mark . We don’t do big steels if we can avoid them . Weird decision to leave the archs in . Easier for you though which is always good 👌🏼😁🧱👍🏽

if i turn the circuit board off the fan still comes on? wtf do i do

Showing all your talents again Mark. Hope you had a nice holiday mate 👍
