These hand made clay bricks have cleaned up exceptionally well for the construction of this 13inch retaining boundary wall 👌.The bricks were reclaimed from an old outbuilding that was dilapidated and no longer in use on the estate. Being a proponent of sustainability and creative re use , it seemed a no brainer to pitch to the client my desire to salvage these 18th century beauties for our up coming boundary wall construct ✅

The wall is laid using traditional hydrated lime mortar, in a variation of Flemish garden wall bond to match the existing retainer wall 🧱

Located on the vast territory of Alentejo, House in Grândola emerges from an extensive tank leaning against a wall facing south, as if it were a sounding board for the entire landscape. The complete house is lined with lime mortar and insulated from the outside with cork. #architecture: Bak Gordon Arquitectos @bakgordonarquitectos #photography: Francisco Nogueira @francisconogueira #Archdaily #houses #architecturedesign #architecturephotography #architectureportugal #limemortar @designstudio_mag Digital Architecture and Design magazine (presso Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQgdJ8ALpBX/?utm_medium=tumblr

Q/A 155: WHAT IS LIME IN CIVIL WORK Semi-hydraulic lime consists of 15 to 25 percentage of silica and alumina. It is used for good quality works of masonry, brickwork, and mortar. This is less strong than eminently hydraulic lime. Non-Hydraulic: Non-hydraulic lime has silica and alumina in quantities of less than 15%. #civilengineering #civil_engineering #lceted #siteengineer #siteengineering #civilengineers #sitesupervisor #india #civilengineer #concreteconstruction #quantitysurveyor #constructionlife #construction #civilengineeringstudents #engineer #cement #concretedesign #constructionmanagement #limemortar #manufacturing #architecture #architecturelovers #design #lime #civilengineeringworld #civilengineeringfacts https://www.instagram.com/p/B_WxpQjJrSV/?igshid=108dryy62th7i

Reflections - November 2019 - Building more than a business.

Over the last few months I’ve finally got around to addressing issues with our northern garden wall, About 50 Meters or so of it has effectively collapsed. In the image above you can see that the old lime mortar has lost its grip, ground movements and time causing it to fall out. Repairs over the years with concrete have changed the nature of the way the wall reacts to rain, and wind, and plant growth and more. Over time it had become a rather sorry pile of re-stacked stone, and failed, properly to provide a boundary to ‘our place’. I’ve never built anything with stone, my experience with mortar was limited to small repointing exercises years ago and only with sand and cement. Yet I decided to take on this project and learn. I love learning new and different skills, and I always know there will be mistakes and blind alleys along the way. First I researched lime mortar and learned about the right mixes, and strengths of lime to use. I found a supplier, and ordered a bag or two. (I’ve used 11 bags so far…). To begin with my mixes were inconsistent, some to wet to support the weight of stone, some too stiff to work and bind well. Today I mix up small quantities at a time, consistently, and just ‘know’ or ‘feel’ the right balance of water to dry ingredients. The stones too, are random shapes and piled up, but over time my mind has worked out how to visualise them turned, rotated and flipped so that I can look at a pile of stones and pick out candidates for the right one without having to lift and move too many of them. Increasingly often I lift only one and set it immediately in the space for it. The odd thing is that it’s become a truly unconscious act, I can’t describe how I do it, I just do. It is a three dimensional jig-saw with mortar, and no guiding picture other than the one in my head. Now if ever there was a metaphor for business this is it. Experience and trial and error has led to consistency, my skills have developed through practice, and reflection, and research, and, sometimes rework. The effort needed to achieve an ever improving result diminishes over time. And yet, there is more to learn. I’ve reached where we are adding a gatepost, and that means building an end on the wall. I need different stones (quoins) that make a square corner, and have limited widths to work with. I need different foundations and a gatepost that won’t disturb or move the wall. Just like business, new challenges need new learning. For me, while I work on this I find I’m also working on my business, thinking about it without consciously choosing the next “stone”. I’ve learned not to question as often when my unconscious business choices rise to consciousness. Instead I run with them and see if they fit. Usually they do., What have you done recently, unconnected with your business that’s given you new business insights and changed the way that you work?

Progress so far!

These lovely flowers have bee. Planted up in an old enamel bucket they are known as Paris daisy, marguerite or marguerite daisy, (Argyranthemum frutescens) and they are a perennial plant native to the Canary Islands. I've placed the pot next to a wall that I recently repointed with lime mortar. I love using lime motor as it immediately creates a timeless quality to a stone or brick wall. I had to remove some Portland cement that was incorrectly used on the stone wall by the bricklayer I don't think he understood the detrimental effect of using an impervious mortar on a natural stone . Anyway all's well that ends well and the wall is now being colonised by some lovely succulents. I'm not sure what species they are. So I'd love to know if you have any ideas.

We thought we would show you all something a little different. Here we have the last of our Coarse Sharp Sand being bought into the shed. We store all our sands indoors, so we can control the moisture content & thus make a premium mortar when blended with our Mature Lime Putty. #restoration #heritageproducts #familybusiness #limemortar #sand #homeinprovementcontractors #heritagecontractor #northdevon
