St. Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh Lime pointing (Click on text or images for a larger picture)
Here you can see the core hole left after removing the dog pin at the head of the spire. The dog pins had already begun to rust and expand and were so tightly jammed into the masonry that the only way to remove them was to use a core drill.
The above core hole packed with lime mortar.
Looking up the spire at a completed face. You can see that the beds and joints that were already sealed have not been pointed.
Another completed area.
