No slashing, no pick and dip, no profiles, no bricklaying slashing competitions, no wanting to be the fastest Bricky in the world, no showing off or boasting, just pure craftsmanship and deep knowledge. Rob Songer is on a completely different level from the rest of KZfaq Bricky community. This is what needs to be taught, this is what architects need to design back into their buildings. It can be done.

Magnificent work and spectacular precision. I also love that there is no rush in your work. The only thing I will add, is that in my humble opinion, despite typical gothic arches, the pair of windows with post in between is rather typical for romanesque architecture - latin name is biforium.

How long before the risk of a single skin wall blow over passes when using lime mortar?

@robsonger1 9 ай бұрын

Single skin, lime mortar... we have a few factors here. Firstly, every wall would be built stable using ties and/or piers, and with regard to lime mortar, if its 1:1:6 then there are no issues, but if it's hydraulic, then as long as precautions are followed then a lime joint should last a minimum of c70yrs. I hope that helps

@MARTINA-gc3tq 9 ай бұрын

@@robsonger1 I was referring to the risk immediately after laying as lime mortar takes months to reach full strength.

@robsonger1 9 ай бұрын

@@MARTINA-gc3tq Hydraulic lime has a 90 day set in which time the temperature must not fall below 5 C. You might be surprised with the speed that lime reaches a good strength in warmer weather, especially if chalk or stone dust are part of the mix.
