Lots of late night tuck pointing. We are replacing all of the mortar in the joints of the bricks. We mix our own lime mortar which was originally used throughout the building but is not used much anymore because it is usually used on handmade, softer, antique bricks. We have used 4000 pounds of mortar so far. We work at night to stay out of the way of the neighbors.
