Checked out the old courthouse restoration in Springfield
They're doing a full repoint on the exterior brick. The lime mortar mix they're using is spot on, matches the original color perfectly. Saw them using a 3/8 inch joint for the repointing work. The foreman said they sourced the sand locally to get the right texture. Took some pictures of the tooling, really clean concave finish. Anyone know a good supplier for that type of pre-mixed lime mortar around here?

Is it really that big of a deal?

That's some really specific detail, good eye. Did the foreman mention if they had to do any brick replacement too, or was the mortar the only real issue? Sometimes the old bricks get too soft and you can't save them.
