I'm fascinated about how they will brick around the truncated tree trunk......will the bough be removed, or will the brickwork become an artistic feature within the wall?
Anyway, 'bough' is one of those 'ough' words.....and there are 7 ways to pronounce the letter combination.....
1. though (like o in go)
2. through (like oo in too)
3. cough (like off in offer)
4. rough (like uff in suffer)
5. plough (like ow in flower)
6. ought (like aw in saw)
7. borough (like a in above)
'Re-pointing' will do nicely, Nige...but some folks just say 'pointing'....but that also refers to the style of the mortar joints - ie 'V', recessesed. angled.....
The brickies are probably avoiding the frosty weather - if ice crystals form inside the hardening mortar, the mortar can lose strength and even turn to powder....although there is an additive, or anti-freeze that one can add to the mix if and when building in chilly weather.
Am just re-building one of my gate posts - and am similarly avoiding a period of frosty days...
