Have you ever wondered about the wonders of lime mortaring? We'll take you on a journey of DIY home improvement as we showcase the incredible transformation that lime mortaring can bring to your ancient building. Get ready for some jaw-dropping before and after shots!

At the start of our lime mortaring adventure, our house was plagued with issues. From holes for insects and reptiles to loose stones and deep fractures, it was in dire need of some TLC. But fear not, because the magic of lime mortar came to the rescue! With the application of this ancient technique, we were able to add many years of life to our beloved building, all while keeping our budget intact.

Now, let's talk tools. Forget about fancy equipment, our trusty cement mixer and other well-worn tools have been with us for decades, proving that sometimes all you need are reliable companions to get the job done. And speaking of companions, we were lucky to have skilled friends who kindly trained us in the art of lime mortaring and lending scaffolding. Shoutout to our many friends for being true saviours!

But wait, there's more! We're about to drop a budget-friendly bombshell on you. You see, completely lime mortaring the rear of a large 4-bedroom house, removing a dangerous chimney, and replacing metal guttering could have cost a fortune. We're talking more than the price of my first house! However, we took the DIY route and managed to achieve all of this for a mere €500. Talk about a cost-effective home renovation!

Now, let's talk about the unexpected perks of lime mortaring. As we discovered, the process itself can be strangely meditative. Picture yourself outside, surrounded by nature's wonders and breath-taking views while you carefully apply the lime mortar. It's a zen-like experience that beats staring at a computer screen any day. Trust us, the sense of accomplishment is unparalleled.

So, if you're looking for a sustainable and satisfying outdoor project, lime mortaring might just be the answer. Whether you're tackling a house renovation or simply looking to upgrade your outdoor living space, the benefits of lime mortaring are undeniable. Get ready to unleash your inner DIY guru and bring ancient building preservation into the 21st century.
