How To Make Lime Mortar

How we are making the hydraulic lime mortar for the old stone barn project. #stonework #limemortar #restoration

Those old crumbling walls, gradually decaying. And then along comes an artisan to rescue them, with sheer hard graft, time consuming effort and a huge dose of skill. And the wall seems rejuvenated, ready to face whatever the rigours of English weather can throw at it for the next one or two hundred years! Beautiful Beatrice! Great video Josh!

Thank you for sharing this video, it is very informative.
I had been wondering how to mix lime.
Enjoying the videos, Josh, and I appreciate the hard work coming from young men. Not enough of that going on anymore.

As an old man once told me TAKE YOUR TIME WHEN IT COMES TO LIME 👍🏿👍🏿♣️♣️♣️

[lordracula]

Great video I was wondering how you mixed it up. I'm using lime putty and it's a bit of a different beast

[tinkeringtaylor]

Really good information video Josh well done, i know this is a costumed colour mix, if you were just doing a normal stone shed with no costume colour, what sand mix would you use 👍👍

Lovaly Jobaly :D
In your newer videos you should recommend these older playlists you have to new members. I found your channel a few months ago but never looked at your previous work. Now, seeing more of what you have done, I like your channel even more -- Crack on ! ;)

Hi josh keep the good work up mate im going to do my cottage interior wall its a 100 years old im new too all this would the mix be fine for my ridge tiles as well,
Many tnx dave

Thanks for sharing. I see that it's a hydraulic lime, so you can probably get away with it being a bit too wet.

Excellent tutorial.
I assume that you use the same lime mortar for bedding your stone and not just for pointing.
No ordinary Portland cement anywhere in sight.😂

[AndyUK-Corrival]

Would you use the same mix to lay the stone, ie for mortar? Thx.

[ArgentLuiza]

can throw 2 tennis balls (take out the green hairy coat off them before) in the mixer, it will break the lump balls forming making the mixture more consistent

[felixyusupov]

I have a bucket of lime mortar that is white. I need to change the color to tan. Any recommendation on pigments that wouldn't just run out?

[MadDadFarmhouseRenovation]

Great, but It will be hard for me to find specificaly 3 different kinds of sand. What is clasic mixture if I will use just sand+lime+water? its 3:2:1?

[BB-mvwl]

How did you know which sands & lime to buy? They're very specific.

[asalteelife]

A quick question..can I still use 8 year old bags of unopened nhl3.5?

[Mao.Loves.Zedong]

You can knock up nhl and use it the next day btw seems to be a better mix as well.
