See all- Don't Get Mixed Up! Practical Tips and Tricks for Masonry RepairMakeHaven, New Haven, CT
What’s the difference between cement and concrete? What do all of the letters mean on the bags of mortar? Why are my bricks cracking after they’ve been just been repointed?
Join New Haven Preservation Trust and MakeHaven for this workshop which is intended to introduce homeowners and DIYers to basic concepts of masonry repair for older buildings including selection of appropriate tools, products, and methods for the job. Attendees will gain confidence in tackling simple projects around the house – or evaluating the credentials of a professional masonry firm hired for more complex work. A variety of examples featuring rubble stone, brick, and block construction methods will guide discussion.
This program is intended for a general audience with no prior knowledge or experience needed. Thanks to a partnership with MakeHaven and the New Haven Preservation Trust, this will be a free event!
