We finally got done installing (and caulking) the steel siding on that factory I posted about elsewhere--see 100 miles of caulk.
Ya just gotta love a customer who has money and wants to spend it, especially in these times. Now that all that shiny new siding is in place... NOW, he wants the entire building repointed. Can you spell "acid wash"?
ANYway, [I probably should have titled this "1,000 miles of mortar"] that's way more bricks than I care to try decorating with a bag. My homework is pointing me at the Quikpoint mortar gun, well worth the price for a job like this if it's as good as some of the comments I've read about it.
But being both cautious and a dyed-in-the-wool cheapskate, I thought I'd check in with the all-knowing pros here before plonking down the bucks for it. :notworthy
Two questions really: Does anyone have negative feedback about that Quikpoint gun, and more importantly... :shifty: does anyone know of a cheaper tool that works just as well?
