Agree. Lime is fairly forgiving.

That's very kind of you Maria, thanks for your continued support! Have an awesome week 👍

Hi jesper dahl, We are keen to use modern techniques and materials on many of our projects, as they can be eco friendly as well as economical in both time and money. However, a property such as this should be treated with the respect it deserves, and hopefully we've achieved that! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. All the best, John 😊

@bina nocht I certainly did not try to imply that cement was an option, I was referring to the fact that it would have been much faster, but that does not outweigh the problems that you put forward, as they are totally valid.

@@BuildWithAE Just this week (more then a year later) I finally (I hope) found out how to make lime plaster, granted I can order one ton of quick lime in a bigbag, and have it delivered from Germany to Denmark, or buy 750Kg of wet lime plaster in a plastic bag on a pallet, but I want to buy the materials as I go. In England and Portugal quick lime is readily available from every feed store, and building merchant in 25Kg bags, and in the rest of Europe, not so much. All the information on KZfaq, about making lime mortar is about "Hot lime mortar" and is from England, and that is the "problem" as I can "only" get "Hydrated lime" in bags. Earlier this week I spoke to a Danish supplier, that told me that both England and Portugal have a tradition for using quick lime, and he offered me the lime I spoke of, we spoke at length about plaster, he tried to sell me on "hydraulic lime plaster" but I kept searching, and I stumbled on a paper from the "Danish technical institute" that finally shined a light on how Danish lime mortar was made more recently (100-200 years ?) If you take the "normal" recipe for hot lime mortar, 1 part quick lime, 3 parts sand, and 1.5-2 parts water, and WEIGH the lime after slaking, and then the sand, you get a ratio of roughly 100Kg to 750Kg (13%) you can then use hydrated lime for the 100Kg of lime (histrionically lime was as much as 40% (due to the poor quality of site burned lime) and as low as sub 10% (in times of economical hardship) that is how mortar was made in Denmark after they stopped burning and slaking lime right on the building site, and started getting it in from offsite. I watched the video from end to end, and I am still amazed about the result (and effort) Keep up the great work.

Thanks for watching Jim - have a great week! 😉👍

Hi Neil, Glad you're enjoying our videos. I've never had the opportunity to use a hot mix, but I've heard that it's very nice to use. All the best, John 😊

I am using hot lime with sharp sand to build stone work on old building , mixed 3:1 .. we will be filling internals of wall with soil .. aiming for breathable stone property .. I’ll point walls with NHL 3.5 in spring and carbonated over two weeks and kept nice and damp throughout !! We use sometimes sprinkler system on our line throughout summer and thinly woven hessian ..

Glad you like them Warren, have a great week! 😉👍

Hi Karl, Unfortunately the construction industry does have a lot of people who carry out substandard work, which can give the industry a bit of a bad reputation. The aim of this channel is to show the general public that they can have confidence in hiring trades. Hopefully, if you do your homework you'll find the tradesperson who is right for the job 👷🏼‍♂️ All the best, John 😊

Thanks Marty! Have a great week 😉👍

Thanks Spartrowel! Take care 😉👍

Thanks Rob 😁 Yes it is more difficult than modern plasters, but it's definitely worth the effort 👌🏻 All the best, John 😊

Just about to perches a stone barn want to keep it fully breathable so will be using non hydrated Lyme inside and repointing with hydrate outside is it just a matter of building up the base coat to get some sort of flat surface stone work is all over the place internally (probs50mm low points) and nice and flat externally. Any advice would be apriciated

Glad you enjoyed it frogeye 😁 Both coats should be about the same, but the float coat can be a bit wetter if you prefer, as you should already have a fairly flat surface to cover. Thanks for watching. All the best, John 😊
