I have a fieldstone foundation, 1922 house.Some of the mortar is crumbling and I want to repoint it. What type of mixture would I use? I read somewhere that I do NOT want to use straight concrete mix, but something that is the same as what was used. The origingal mixture appears to be sand based? ANy thoughts are welcome.
