Gable Pointing

Before winter kicks in and we lose another year I’ve asked Donald if he’s available to come and point the rest of the hall. Apparently a bigger job elsewhere has been delayed, something to do with roof trusses not turning up, so he’s checked his schedule and the weather and is able to slot us in.

It’s a fairly routine process to me now. I’ve had a fair bit of practice with Donald doing the inside walls with me last year so once the scaffolding is up, we get stuck in and it isn’t long before the wall is looking quite nice.

Rach inspects the window reveals to make sure we’ve got them looking right and once we’ve brushed it off, Emily is there to put her initials into the mortar and timestamp it. Maybe one day when her grand-kids come to repoint it, she can point out her bit!
