Front of house, to the left
At $8 for a 20 KG bag of cream mortar, re-pointing is definitely cheap DIY thrillz, but still very satisfying. I have used up 2 bags already and I bought another 2 bags over the weekend so I could get started on the front of the house.
On Sunday I did most of the left hand side of the house and started on the right. There is still the U in the middle of the house, but I will do that last. As I go along I am getting cleaner and more adept at it, which is satisfying…and means less clean up too 
I still have some finishing touches to do at the back
- Sweep up
- Get DIY Dad to remove drain pipes so I can repoint behind those
But those can wait for a while.
The drain pipes will probably be left until the every end as pretty much every rain water pipe needs to come off so I can repoint behind it.
More territory gained
