      I'll bet there are some earth mounds somewhere in Florida that the natives built that would love a renovation like this one.

    Learn a lot from these videos. I've started doing lime pointing because of your videos. I'm in the north Yorkshire dales so it's all lime pointing around here

    howcome you're not concerned that the wall won't breathe by using cement to back point?
    great videos by the way

      The constructional mortar wasn't full beds so moisture can find it's way out of the stonework in gaps and cracks between the substrate. I'm back up there next week to lime point the building so it'll be a functional, active wall when it's pointed up.

      Are the clients understanding? Did they pay for a new hop up?

      @@sgfelectrical734 The clients were very understanding about the collapse. It was for the better anyways as the gable would have needed taking down stone by stone to rebuild it. New videos of the repoint of the bothy should be up later on this week. Stay tuned!

    Great video! Is the intention for this to be a public access bothy?

      Thanks freckle1998.
      The bothy is on the pilgrims route to the holy island of Iona. There is no other shelter for the next 15 miles of coastline so if you contact the owners at the farm then I'm sure they won't have an issue with folk stopping in the bothy.
