Some of you wonder what it is I actually do. Some of you don't. Some of you don't care one way or another. All of that is fine. I just decided to do some photographic bragging this morning for all the planet to see forever and ever...
The Grey Havens is a 1917 era building that is designed to have the masonry double wall serve to insulate the place; which it doesn't when the mortar deteriorates, so my on-going project for 3 summers/early autumns has been to repair window glazing/prime/paint & remove old mortar to replace it with new lime mortar...similar to what masons in Europe have been using for a 1,000 years or more.
In any event, the before/after photos show part of the work that was a bit tangential in the whole pointing project. I know that Psalm 127:1 says, "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it." Well, since His Spirit dwells within me (Ezekiel 36:27, "And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances") technically, I guess He's doing some hands on building at the Grey Havens through yours truly.
Got stone and mortar from the Rock of Ages?!! ;)
