While the roof was still being worked on, Brad said he felt the mortar on the outside of the house had to be removed and better yet, he would do it. This was an enormous undertaking as the house had been over mortared and only some of the stone was showing through. Of course, when Brad and his friend John (a fellow WVU grad) started working on the jackhammering the heat wave hit. It was almost 100 degrees every day. They removed all the mortar from the entire house. The difference can be seen in the photo of the side of the house. Now all we have to do is repoint all the outside walls. Simple.
