Questions

Week passed, busy with my project of heat upgrading before winter will come. I wanted that all painting will be done before installation of heating system and hardwood…. But all step by step…




I had few questions about last post.
I used old stones, mean same stone what I took off from the wall, it has to be cleaned very nice from old mortar.
And some people asked about how it’s going step by step.
First, you prepare room where you will reinstall your stones. Take out all pieces what shake or moved. Brush all dust. Find stones what stay firm.
Prepare your stones. You need big stones for start.
Mix mortar.
Make you stones wet. Really wet.
Start from corners. Bring couple shovel mortar and install big stones on corners.
When your corners sit right, you can take rope between for seeing of the outside line,
Now you need to find right size stones what you will install between corners and these stones must not be bigger than your outside rope. Put more water on stones, few shovels mortar mix and install big stones between corners. Only one line.
Give time to dry mortar and your line of stones sit strong.
After, you can install next line of stones in the same way. Use level for installation of corners .
Don’t worry about gaps between big stones in your new wall. You will fill up them later with mortar and small stones.
When you come to line where your bricks must start, you need to mark your bottom brick line and play with mortar and stones size, do close to street line.
Hard to explain in words how install bricks. But its the same idea what we used with stone. Build corners and fill up between. Install rope for each brick line. And use measurement tape for checking mortar seems between bricks
