great information. I've doing repointing all my life, looks good and sound easy on pics and videos but when it time to do it requires many techniques and safety dust controls and tools adaptable depending on the project size. Regards

We have a two year old home in Ft. Worth, Texas. I am seeing issues with morter crumbling already on my home. The company that built our home went bankrupt and Wall HOmes took over the warranty work. Now, Wall Homes went bankrupt (also now in business again) and refuse to honor the warranty work as we were told. NOW what can we do?
