Highly impressive watching the transformation from distressing to attractive. When applying the mortar, sometimes you apply with the rectangular trowel, sometimes the triangular,; sometimes you feed the triangular with the rectangular, sometimes vice versa.I expect you do it unconsciously but I doubt it's insignificant.

Great video. I have a 117 stone foundation house in MN that could use that upgrade. Settling has created some bigger cracks over the years I suspect but not sure there is much more settling still going on. So this type of job would make the foundation look much better. One question, if old foundation had been painted, how much of the paint should be removed before refacing the stones?

I repaired a similar foundation with your methods here. I did this in early Fall of 2020. Looking at one wall now, where the mortar went on thinner, there are now thin cracks where there were not last year. Should I wet area and apply a coat over these areas? Will this fill in the very small cracks and fortify it better? I plan on painting over this area in the next 8 months. Thanks. I've learned a lot from these vids and I tell others about your channel.
