The International Trade Commission (ITC) has voted 6-0 that imports of Chinese solar cells have harmed U.S. solar manufacturers. The ruling means that tariffs will indeed be added to solar modules that include cells manufactured in China. Further, the ITC has determined that there were no critical circumstances, and thus no reason to apply the tariffs retroactively, a move applauded by the Coalition for Affordable Solar Energy (CASE).

Tuckpointing the Attic Walls-Brick Home Rehab Project
As you can see in the following photo you can see daylight through the Brick Wall. This generally is your first clue that if you do not fix the problem soon-there will soon be structural damage to the Masonry Building. In this article for the Benton Rehab Series I am going to share:
Attic Tuck-pointing Pictures and Information about what to do when the Bricks have completely deteriorated. |
As with most of the Older Brick Homes in the St Louis Region. The Brick Walls in this home are three courses thick. In this particular area 1 to 1 1/2 of the brick courses had completely deteriorated. Without relaying the entire brick wall the only way to fix this problem is to fill the missing brick up with mortar and trowel smooth.
In the following photo you can see how I completely sealed the damaged bricks in this area.
When filling large areas in; such as in this photo. Apply the Tuckpoint Mortar in 1 to 2 in lifts. Pre moisten area with Hudson Sprayer to allow adequate time for the Mortar to cure and reach its design strength.
