I am about to visit our house near Montbron with the purpose of installing a window in a large hole in the wall and have two questions:-
Do I use a normal cement/ sand mixture to install the window and fill in with stone around the window?
When re-pointing do I use a Lime based mixture?
As time is short for the visit and my wife who speaks some french will be at home, can I buy the above in a ready mixed bag ( just add water) and if so, does anybody know the french name .
