A workshop on “repairing mortar joints” will be held on Saturday, September 13th at 10 AM by the Lawrence County Partners for Preservation. Presenter Ed Petrus said “A lot of homes, especially older ones, need repairs to their brickwork. This workshop will cover simple tips for minor repairs, not full re-pointing, which is best left to professionals. We’ll cover the different types of mortar and tools and techniques for making mortar joint repairs. Left unrepaired, bad brickwork will rapidly deteriorate and may even cause structural failure.”
“Partners for Preservation is a non-profit group whose focus is on helping homeowners maintain, restore, and save the historic homes in the area,” he added. LCPP is in the process of restoring parts of its Library and Resource Center at 111 E Lincoln Avenue (across from the Scottish Rite Cathedral) where the workshop will be held. The LCPP library houses “how to do it” and “do it yourself” reference materials which may be borrowed. The LCPP website is https://www.lcppreserve.org/ Participants should indicate their planned attendance through the website form so that adequate materials will be on hand.
This workshop is free, but donations will be accepted.
