Can it be dangerous to cut stone as a beginner?

• <div><p>Cutting stone comes with a number of safety hazards. First and foremost, if you’re not comfortable with the equipment required to cut stone, including blades and grinders, you could easily injure yourself. The heavy machinery also poses a risk to your ears if you don’t wear proper ear protection; similarly, you need to wear eye protection to keep debris from irritating your eyes.</p><p>However, the biggest risk from cutting stone comes from the stone dust. When breathed in, stone dust can be a huge hazard to your lungs. Always wear a face mask when cutting stone to prevent inhaling stone dust, and thoroughly clean the work area when you are finished.</p><p>To avoid injury, we recommend hiring a stone-cutting professional, rather than attempting this job yourself.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to limewash or whitewash brick?

• <div><p>The choice between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/limewash-vs-whitewash.htm">limewash vs. whitewash</a> brick depends on aesthetic preference and the desired outcome. Whitewashing creates a softer, more opaque finish, suitable for a rustic or shabby-chic look. Since the solution is paint-based, you can use it on painted brick, unlike limewash. Limewashing offers a more natural, textured appearance, allowing the brick's texture to shine while providing a breathable, protective coating. Conversely, whitewashing is also more forgiving when it comes to application, while limewashing requires more skill but offers a more traditional and durable finish.</p></div>

Q: How often should I clean my home’s brick?

• <div><p>You should clean your home&rsquo;s brick once per year. This applies to exterior brick, but also to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-brick-fireplace.htm">cleaning brick fireplaces</a>. Create a homemade cleaning solution with equal parts vinegar and water. Use a soft-bristle brush to scrub the solution into the face of your brick and remove dirt, algae, and stains. Cleaning will protect brick from damage and boost your home&rsquo;s curb appeal.</p></div>

Q: Can you repoint over old mortar?

• <div><p>You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of brick and stone surfaces?

• <div><p>They offer durability, aesthetic appeal, and resistance to weathering compared to concrete or asphalt.</p></div>

I was unhappy before the service truck arrived, because the driver had told me I'd have to pay an extra $50 because my home (and my car) are 2.5 miles up a gravel road. I'd never had a charge like that from AAA before, but apparently it's a new AAA policy to allow tow services to charge it. It's...
