@@MickF04 from the web…Grow lights often appear purple because they are primarily composed of red and blue LED lights, which when combined, create a purple hue; this is because both red and blue wavelengths are crucial for plant growth and photosynthesis, making a mix of the two the most efficient way to deliver the necessary light spectrum for plants

Didn’t read all comments to see if anyone else pointed this out; but, the material that’s peeling off that you refer to as a “patch” is actually parging, and helps give the wall it’s structural rigidity, it’s not just a finish coat, but part of the structural system of the wall itself. As an architect with a similar foundation approximately 114 years old with the same issues, I did a lot of research for repair. I would stay away from type S mortar for exterior or interior applications with stone foundations (type s is actually more appropriate for exterior/ sub grade use). type S is more rigid than N and won’t let the foundation flex at all, which will in time actually cause the stone to crack. The mortar in this case isn’t structural at all, but rather a compressive joint for the stone to sit on, so you don’t need type S, or even N for that matter. Lime mortar is ideal as it stays pliable and will flex with the wall as it moves without cracking/ fracturing as cement mortar is likely to do, albeit probably not for several years or even decades. But with your stone and lime mortar, the parging, or final (whitish color) outer layer, you have a full structural assembly. With that said I started repairing my foundation with type N mortar mix, as lime isn’t as readily available. There are previous cement mortar repairs/ repointing done maybe 20 + years ago to the house that have started to pull away from the stone, that will need to be replaced themselves sooner than later. Also I’m in the northeast, so plenty of cold weather and temp fluctuations that can increase/ speed up mortar degradation. My 2¢, good luck to all needing to repair a foundation however you choose!

Thank you for your constructive comments and information. Very thoughtful and detailed. I have been fortunate not to have any issues with my repairs with the mortar used (with the older repairs being 7-10 years old). Note being they are all on the interior walls where the temperature typically stays between 60-72 degrees. Based on your feedback and others I’ll use lime or the N mortar on foundation repairs exposed to the elements. Again thanks. Good luck with your repairs!

@ ofcourse and thanks! Older homes are a beauty for their character and charm but a challenge for upkeep and repairs; kudos to you for tackling such a challenging diy project and I’m sure you’ve giving many others the confidence needed to tackle similar projects of their own. Double kudos for the extra effort of sharing the experience! One side note/ caveat I’ll add to my definitive of using Portland cement based mortars damaging the stone; I’m not sure it 100% will damage the stone, I think that largely depends on the stone, ground water/ moisture conditions, and the prevalence of freeze/ thaw cycles and the propensity of your foundation to shift or heave. So I’d correct myself and say there’s just a risk given worse case conditions there could be problems using cement based mortars. Given the lack of scientific evidence to know what’s safe or not safe for any given foundation, a mason will replace mortar in a historic foundation “in kind”, as a safety, because the wall survived with the original mix. No masonry company or mason would risk their license or an insurance claim by doing something not proven. But doing it yourself is obviously fair game, and most likely not an issue. Best of luck of again, cheers!

@mi-tinker 19 күн бұрын
@jimtaylor, Did you get it figured out? I'm guessing the switch you have, or its position is out of alignment. If the water is streaming when the new cover is in place, something is pressing on the internal lever under the nipple (engaging the on/ off switch) That should be the only way this would happen. Something is out of alignment or maybe the new plate is the wrong type for your refrigerator. Does your new cover plate exactly match your old plate? If so check to see that the internal switches are still in the same position as when you took the plate off the very first time. Good Luck!

Hi @heidistrong4705 Thanks for the note and asking the question... I have tuckpointed/repaired an exterior rock wall foundation in cold weather... however, we enclosed the section we were working on with at large tarp and used a forced air heater to keep the temps closer to 50+ degrees. We worked at one end and the heater was blowing at the opposite open end (not letting the heater get to close to us or the tarp for safety) Our hands appreciated the warmer working conditions too. It would be a good idea to check your mortar specs to see what they recommend for best working temperatures. I know it helped us to have the forced air heater for our emergency foundation repair. Best of Luck!
