When I went to college they told us to look for the obvious. Trees growing in cracks would be quite high on the list

(An occasion when Flynnyman was nice to me.)Don't think you'll ever hear those words directed you're way mate lol
Nice weather site agent Steve isn't it
Ime not even going to engage with you Slie, ive met your type before you are just a bored know it all expat twit with nothing better to do than come on here and try and stir up some trouble and i bet you have got a beard.
Grow up. The questioner seeks an answer to a reasonable question.
But are you sporting a beard?

The cause of the cracks is not the greenery. Any1 here can have the job if they want, I'll pay £200 a day but want a guarantee that it won't crack within 2 years.
Any offers?
Not since I licked the shti off your legs
You enjoy licking scat off the legs of 8 year old boys?

With respect Flynnyman this suggests a simple solution known by all who have done a course at the tech.
If it is as you say then your fellows on this forum must have forgot what was said on day 2 or their lecturers held differing views either of which dents your assertion. However in view of the variance of suggestion why not cast light onto the darkness, wisdom to the ignorant or help someone who asked a simple question at the outset?.
One moderator tells us that it is a wallcrete solution does this concur with the second day of college? Obviously not because we didn't have Walllcrete under that name then. We might have but I couldn't easily find what is in Wallcrete but it is of recent concoction which suggests too sophisticated for a day 2 solution.
Spunky tellsYou could just use a really week mix like a 6-1-1 scratch and a 7-1-2 top coat don't use waterproofer in either coat just give it a good soaking and you could bed some render mesh into the scratch coat ( note lime)
Lucious btells us in response to lilhards No cement with hydraulic or putty lime mate there are other ways of helping it go of quicker.
Then warriorupnorth throws his views in.Wallcrete an mesh , rub it up, scrape it, print it whatever you want, you can even pre colour so no painting.
Lucius and DAnnymac are having a side conversation about pozzolan
Superspread tells us i would fix rib lath to the wall (if the bricks allow this and dont start moving)and two coat render,if you use hydraulic lime you dont need a pozzolan. ( note lime)
Lucious repliesNo you dont only with putty, hydraulic is different and goes of quicker but still needs care i just couldnt be arsed explaining it all as ive explained it all before, no offence Dan just google it all the info is there
And then Irish Spread Try using a metal detector first. Then, if you don't find any you could carbon date the mortar. If its Roman you could use slaked lime or jam. Me personally ?, I'd just render it. ( might be lime or jam )
What would I do?
1. Knock off the render or get the client to do it to see whats beneath..
2. I'd guess wall is not worth bothering with. The wall condition determines everything don't waste your time with specs until its condition is determined.
3. I'd be interested in comparing a brick rebuild cost with a repair and whether the clients needs a solution that requires a wall as high for the whole of its length.
4. The problem with this type of problem is that you are going outside a simple rendering issue. If you are serving the best interests of the client a new smaller brick wall might be the answer.
Over to you Flynnyman
for monocouche. Lucious says 6.1.1 , .. presumably this m agical solution is going to solve ethem
Wow that was a long read so to elaborate you said "help someone who asked a simple question at the outset?" He didnt ask the question, he made out he knew the solution and kept it up in a number of posts, ignoring some good advise hoping he would be given the simple solution or an easy way to do the job, with a life time guarantee. On Day 2 of college we learnt Knock off the render or get the client to do it to see whats beneath it to try and solve the problem rather than just pissing in the wind or making it up. Which funilly enough is what your first solution was oh and before you ask on our first day we learnt how to skim. xxx
Sounds pretty fresh in you're memory flynny was this last year?
