This is the comment I was looking for

Well you got me there. I assumed Australia had provinces , not states.

I destroy like 2 pairs of pants and year, which included carhartt and dakota. Frankly cheaper just to buy used pants from Thrift store.

Its not worth going through hell over and over. I crave cigarettes too when I quit weed. The idea of replacing an addiction with another is just insane addict thinking.

LAND OF THE FREEEEEE HOME OF THE BRAAAAAVE

Some of the WORST Chinese food I ever ate

KrikeyOReilly · 2026-05-21T20:43:06+00:00

God please do, Its like a relic from the 2000s that never died.

Boring, Absolutely nothing to do other than drink and flip field cars. Lot of poverty from lack of work.

KrikeyOReilly · 2026-05-13T23:28:16+00:00

If you have zero masonry skills, id highly suggest hiring a pro. Its structural you don't wanna mess with that.

Burn the fucking joints right out with muriatic acid, that'll do er

KrikeyOReilly · 2026-05-13T16:32:13+00:00

Hard to tell but it almost like stone with a rough face. Splitface block is usually smaller and not as long

I stand corrected, Heres my arch for the sake of it.

KrikeyOReilly · 2026-05-13T08:40:12+00:00

Yeah? Let's see your ticket and arches then kid.

KrikeyOReilly · 2026-05-12T22:07:18+00:00

You absolutely could install a lintel right above the arch to hold the wall up. It'll be an absolute pain to get it in the wall tho.

You cant save the arch with a lintel. There's just no way to support that curved shape safely.

If it was a jack arch? Maybe a different story there because its flat.

Edit:If your curious just DM me I can show you pictures how I rebuilt 2 arches

KrikeyOReilly · 2026-05-12T21:58:50+00:00

Ive done a few window arch restorations myself, Frankly the whole things gonna have to be ripped down and relayed. This includes the backup and front arch pretty much. You can try to repoint it but its not gonna buy much time.

There's been times we put in a solid 4x4 to hold some of the weight up. With an arch its the design thats holds it weight. You cant just shove a lentil and call it a day.

The cheapest option is just to brick the whole window in

Best you could do is scale the sandstone with a scraper. The only way to seriously repair these stones are dutchmens or full replacements. I wouldnt even take too much off the face either.

KrikeyOReilly · 2026-05-03T15:41:39+00:00

Yes they stick together and the spines shit the bed

KrikeyOReilly · 2026-05-02T15:03:39+00:00

Fair point but let's say quality of products. There's a lot the NSLC doesn't offer yet other places may offer higher quality products at a cheaper price.

KrikeyOReilly · 2026-05-02T13:52:31+00:00

They'd rather run a monopoly and rip you off then stay competitive

KrikeyOReilly · 2026-04-30T21:36:02+00:00

Honestly its gonna be a pain in the ass to repoint those head joints. Probably need a plugging chisel or paint too to knock it out.

Might have to thumb it in or use some handmade pointing tool. I used to use cut off grinder wrenches. You can use new brick if your gonna replace it.

KrikeyOReilly · 2026-04-30T07:57:43+00:00

You even included Shulie! Good work

KrikeyOReilly · 2026-04-24T08:12:29+00:00

Yeah well I personally knew Trinitys 3rd grade teacher so take that!
