Finally finished the basement walls
Finally finished the basement walls. It was a brick foundation that someone coated in latex paint. The paint caused more than a few bricks to rot. I scraped off all the paint, hand chiseled out old mortar, repointed everything, then gave it a lime parge coat. Added some before/during/after pics as well.
Materials for the project - 1.5 bags of lime (for a total of $21) - 12 bags of sand (for a total of $60) - masonry hand tools ($35)
Total Cost = $116
Total hours = 42
Total area restored = 294 square feet
