Yet another week n a bit taken away from fun projects. noticed a house i have at the side of my depot was dropping quite a bit of pointing over the last few weeks. realised the belly that's been there since i bought it some 8 or so years ago was getting bigger quicker than my belly is.
got in touch with the insurance company and would you believe it,,, a non starter.. took the subsidence bit off the policy last year..
the through stone from the internal wall was a few inch shy of the outer skin.

had to course the stone that was reusable by size n stack it then clear out all the dross [rubble fill] from between the inner n outer skin.
found quite a bit of old repairs and changes. the earliest documents i have for the house are from 1735. big hand written with wax stamps.
used scaffold tube and clamps to lock the acrows together so if collapsed while pulling the stone out its less likely to knock the props out

drilled into the inner wall gently to put in some brick ties, drilled the hole, blow it out with the compressor then bonded in the tie with chemi fix.
the reason it gave in the first place was not enough through stones.

hey up Andy.. they are just under the outer course of stone. we followed the outside of the belly then drilled into the original lime morter of the nearest big stone then hammer the strong boy in.. once its in to its limit we hook the acrow in and pressure it up.. been using them on the pub im converting to a house so got a bit more confidence in it now.

thanks folk...
had to get some more stone to replace the damaged bits. luckily i had some up at a pub I'm turning into a house. different type I'm told came from near ilkly which is a lot harder than the local sand stone. as we build up the courses we back fill it with the rubble [dross] that came out mixed in with cement. this makes for a very strong wall.
