Agree on that it the pointing will blow again as water is running down from the top, wants some sort of coping.
Yep I agree with you, if waters been running through that wall for donkeys years,with frost, chances are, the mortar that’s actually holding the bricks together will be shot.

There was a long running argument once about pointing. So sick of it we did some experiments of pointing and every one failed to stick the bricks together. When you think about when pointing the mortar is always falling away from the overhead brick due to gravity.

Well being as you can do the pointing that good. If the wall is bad why not have a go at rebuilding it. You would do a sound job I think.

Everything is sand and cement inside as well. Timber frame will blow away here they use to tell me. Everything concrete block.
They dont even use 9"x2" joists anymore. Concrete beams are the order of the day now.
You would be hard pushed to find a Snowflake in the West of Ireland.

No not a plasterer at all. I just notice the difference between the different people.

No I am a Brummie. When I first went to the west I was amazed at some of the blokes. They had all grew up on the farm. They went to work on the building and still did farming later at night and weekends. They would graft. Completely different to soft west midlander types who just thought they were fit because they ran a few miles at weekends.
Ha, isn’t that the point of a trade forum to get expert/opinions advice off others....if your not keen get your self on face book to gossip about waffle, and everything insignificant in life.Point it yourself mate.

My new next door neighbors have just moved in.
Their dad has been mixing multi up in a b&q orange bucket with his hands and pointing the bad bits on the brick work where the old pipes have been etc.
There’s sh*te all over their back yard and paving stones where he’s cleaned the expensive b&q buckets out.
Was going to help but was too funny to watch
