[@kennethpaultargett5483]

You deserve a medal honestly..

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

What a jigsaw of stone you have to sort through.but your the guys to do it 💪🏻

[@J.HarveyStonework]

We will defo make it strong! Fingers crossed it turns out pretty as well! Thanks for watching mate! 👍👍

[@Buildingenjoyment]

So much work getting the mortar covered rocks cleaned up. Thankfully you just need the fronts clean!

[@davecleggett9371]

I must be getting used to your quality control Josh - even to my untrained eye I can see what you mean about 'mostly rubble' and 'a nice face'. Suffocated by cement - simple phrase but speaks volumes! Ho-hum, it can't always be brilliant eh?

[@J.HarveyStonework]

That’s it Dave! I enjoy these jobs as they are a task! Wouldn’t want it easy all the time?! Thanks for watching mate! 👍👍

[@newtonnicholas4836]

thanks cause i was worrying about mine not going to look good

[@J.HarveyStonework]

No worries at all 🤣

[@markduncan6690]

Ok! Get Working!

[@J.HarveyStonework]

Ok, sorry

[@eklazhward4739]

Good morning, I have a very important question. I can't sleep without an answer. In England and Scotland, you have very old stone buildings, which are 100-150 years old. How were these buildings insulated/insulated? After all, the British Isles have a climate of 0-10*C, winter, snow...

[@J.HarveyStonework]

They started to do so in 19th century but before that I suppose it was just very very thick walls with a fire going and the window open 🤣

Bellísimo trabajo felicidades 👊 saludos ,me gustaría mucho aprender a trabajar en piedra

[@J.HarveyStonework]

Thank you! 👍

[@tingtongraas]

I'm enjoying your videos as I have a few stone walls to repair / rebuild plus an old slightly derelict outbuilding and all the stone for these is pretty rough / poor too :) You must have used a lot of lime with so much mortar going in there - can you remember roughly how many bags for that section of wall?

[@J.HarveyStonework]

Thank you very much for watching. Sounds like you got a lovely project on your hands. Ooooo I think it was around 10 bags. Sorry it was a long time ago!

[@zachpacer3295]

Can you build a house using this technique?

[@J.HarveyStonework]

Of course, probably best As cladding. Or thicker using an appropriate lime 👍

[@silaleiken]

What is the wall thickness

[@J.HarveyStonework]

Ooooo I think it was around 500mm, it was a long time ago! I maybe mention it in a later video?!

[@ashh3051]

Camera moving way too much. Hard to watch.

[@J.HarveyStonework]

Sorry it was windy

[@Simonsimon-fy3hq]

"It was windy" As explanations go that's great. Love it.@@J.HarveyStonework

[@newtonwhatevs]

I feel for your lower back.

[@J.HarveyStonework]

I do too 👍

[@TheIlovetrolling]

I have a limestone wall enclosing a victorian water tank with a 2 meter gap where it's collapsed. What mortar mix would you recommend?

[@J.HarveyStonework]

All depends on the style of walling & also if mortared, what type of mortar has been used on the rest of the wall. Find out possible reasons why the section has collapsed. A lime mix should always be used on stonework, but once again depends on budget, scenario etc.
