Have a great time over in Aussie! Your Videos are greatly appreciated, I tell all the Young-uns to watch them, the techniques you use will be long lost in a few years. The `Screws` (arthritis) Got me, but the Docs prescribed Co-Codamol and now the sun shines every day!
Trip to Oz sounds good ...i was there 12 years ago but i was an improver really but got lucky on a big render job in Crows Nest Sydney. Getting the ferry to work and having beers on way home at night , great times 😢 .
Try the mortar raking tool which attaches on to the angle grinder. You can pick them up from screwfix and there relatively cheapish, think I paid £10. Its very good for raking the old lime mortar out of joints. Hope your arthritis gets better. Thanks for the content by the way, very interesting.
Dont blame you Andy mate .Just been told i need a new shoulder so not sure my next move .ill probably carry on but the pain is intense with it ,back and knee bad now.brain says yes body says no mate .our job wears you away go enjoy yourselves mate be good to follow you out there .lovely work so knowledgeable aswell 🧱🙌
Shame about arthritis but Feel your pain Andy, must admit after nearly 40 years in the game & 3 back operations in the last 4 years thinking of packing it in, have a great break in oz
Very nice work Andy enjoyed you're vlog top job mate 👍 have a great trip to Australia with you and your wife enjoy yourself mate you're health is more important look after yourself!!!
We brought a 1930s detached house years ago and to my horror after l took off the blown plaster inside the bay window, there was nothing in between the bricks! I managed to bodge it up.l went up in the loft and the mortar was disintegrating in between the bricks up there! You think the dozy surveyor would have picked it up? Managed to sell it as the new owner was too tight to have a proper survey. Have a great time in Australia, l'm a similar age to you Andy and my knees are playing up, poor old gits!
Lafarge NHL 3.5 from Chalkdown Lime and the colour wash is from Steadfast.I don't know how the prices compare with other companies as I've only used these for many years, NHL Limes differ immensely with the amount of pure lime content, Lafarge and St Astier being the best I wouldn't use any other.
Hey Andy....you've probably heard or read about, most of the remedies for Arthritis. I bet a pint down the Pub tops the options!! LOL But for what it's worth, try Apple Cider Vinegar or Honeygar. Doesn't taste to flash but you'll never look back. Worth a try anyway...
Hi mate, I’m a Briky that lives in Sydney Australia for 20 years. Come and have a look what we’re doing if you like but I wouldn’t bother if you’re on holiday. Mark from Birmingham.
Was that the 14" Footprint Scutch Andy? I think I mentioned it to you a few weeks back. I certainly told Lord Cardigan whose cutting loads out in Bexhill at the moment. Nice tool anyway. The recip saw has made all I lives a lot easier, Bosch do a lovely brick blade. S1543HM. About £22 but worth every penny.
Andy Garry G here from the cross check out Australia see if we can piss off over there this place as gone to the Dogs have a great time you lucky fxxcker enjoy you’ve earned it 👍
I lived in West Australia in the early 80s Gary, best time of my life, ime sure its still good but i know they are suffering the same as us from crap politicians and imigration.

No pubs around here anymore i drink in Essendon after work for a couple, Hoddesdon is ok these days a few old faces get in the Spoons on a Sunday. i may have to come up your way to do a small job for my nephew ile let you know 👍
Beautiful job that Andy , looks mint . I’m supposed to be on a pointing job but it’s too hot for full PPE and everyone has their washing out. No Henry here unfortunately 🥵🥵🧱👍🏽
