Good job, nice one. The masonry is held in with a strange earth/lime mortar mix, we have the same down here. Had to do a few repairs to my own walls, and rebuild a stack on a friend's house.....great fun.

Has to be a first time for everything I guess. What do you do if you haven't enough bricks at the end... ? Caused by say.... thinner mortar joints. Tommy Walsh would be there, coating everything in PVA before he started the mortaring.

For it to have weakened and fallen away like that I guess the roof must have been leaking for a period of time.As you say mud,straw and cow poo to joint,so after along time standing and no foundations with water ingress sadly the end result.Good to see it's going back to former self.Too many of these lovely buildings going to waste,thankfully this one being cared for.If you need a sparks I'm in the Gironde
