Hello, We've had some very special cast stone plinth blocks installed in a sandy 'bath' colour. Our groundworker - a bricklayer by trade - has installed them with a 10mm joint using yellow mortar (despite us having a convo on site re the joints being as thin as possible, ie 3mm and in a colour-matched mortar). Given that we wanted to achieve something that looks seamless, I think it looks awful! - see photos at bottom. I'm going to ask him to repoint with a colour-matched mortar - sadly it'll be too late to achieve a thinner joint now. Has anyone worked with cast stone blocks who could offer some advice about how to point them neatly and what a good mortar to use is? Thanks!

Interesting,.There's a whole series of these about different types of Finnish homes. This one is modern student apartments. In this pic, our genial host looks wonderfully psychopathic. What do we think?

This is coming out next week - Tuesday 7 April. This is the one where architects redesign existing houses within a genuinely reasonable budget, presented via immersive Virtual Reality. IMO this is the best series of all of them for learning about the design process, and with the best involvement of the client in the discussion with the architect. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000h3m8 My thread about Series 1: Ferdinand
