Made my day with memories of building my house 40 odd years back. So refreshing to know that Flemish bond is still up there. Spoke to a young lad starting out and he has yet to do any work other than stretcher and bucket handle pointing. He had never heard of lime mortar which suprised me. Loved the nice touch of the camber arch over the window and a proper looking cill.
