Specifications include, but are not limited to: Cut out all mortar joints on limestone, brick and stone along Section C of building (see below). All mortar joints will be cut with diamond blades attached to grinders to a minimum of ¾ of an inch. The grinders will be connected to vacuums to limit the dust. Care will be taken to not cut into the brick or stone. The brick joints will be pointed with a type N mortar to match the color as close as possible. The joints will be packed with the new mortar in lifts to leave no voids and to allow for shrinkage of the mortar. The tooling of the joint will match the existing. The limestone joints will be filled with the proper size backer rod and caulked with a urethane caulk. Joints will be taped when applying caulk to keep as neat as possible. Joints will be tooled to a smooth finish. Color will be as close to limestone as possible.
