I just had a masonry contractor replace my chimney flue this morning, which involved replacing the old mortar as well. My understanding is that it's actually ideal for the mortar to be moist for it to cure, but given the heavy rain right now... should I be worried?

I replaced all 3 of my exterior hose bibs with frost free sillcocks. Unfortunately, the existing pipes were drilled in mostly through mortar, so there's a bit more wiggle room than I'd like. The good thing is the previous installer didn't screw the hose bibs in (didn't come with mounts), ...

... I'm having a guy install a backsplash onto this wall (stone & glass mosaic) but he is NOT removing this tileboard but will instead apply the mortar right overtop. Is this a concern? Should the tileboard be removed first or maybe even scuffed up? Thanks.

It's time to repoint joints between bricks and fix some cracked mortar. I'd like to find the same or close type of mortar. HD employees do not seem to know what kind of mortar it can be. Do anybody know what could it be and where to buy? [IMG]http://tiutiun.com/sites/default/files/DSC_0547.JPG[/IMG] ...
