I'm assuming you are referring to pointing between the stones? All good subministros should have bags of ready mixed sand and cement of different colours,it comes in a large number of colours I think they might have been 20kg bags. We chose a slightly lighter colour than the stone work. You mix it with water, you can buy pointing trowels, but I preferred to use a butter knife. To start with you will be slow, but you gain speed. I don't know if you remember our sitting room but that took me 3 months doing a couple of hours a day. I enjoyed doing it.

ReplyDeleteThanks Anne! Good to have confirmation that its a DIY project. I´m wondering if anyone has thoughts on lime mortar v.s. cement.
