first we makes sure that we have the correct equipment and the correct P.P.E ( gloves, goggles, etc). We first located which capping stones needed replacing. Once we found which ones need replacing we carefully removed it from the wall using a boaster and a hammar. Once all of the loose capping stone were removed we then scraped the exess morter into the bin. we then laid a corse of pug along the wall and place the capping stones on top. we then made sure that they were level along the wall and at a slight tilt of the wall so that the rain would run of. we then used a joining iron to make sure that all the rendering was up to standerd. we then cleaned the area where we worked.
