The angle for ROOF-TILIKG, POINTING, ETC. 97 valley tiles is obtained in the same way, remem-. bering that tbe hip is a salient ai gle and thevalley a re-entering angle. Pointing. Pointing is divided into two classes, tuck-pointing and flat-joint pointing. In tuck-point-ing the joints of the brickwork are filled in withmortar or stopping, of generally the same colouras the bricks, and rubbed down to a level surfacewith a piece of sacking or soft brick of the samecolour as the work, and a putty joint made oflime and silver-sand placed upon it. Stone limeshould be used for outside work. The mode of working is to have a parallel rulefrom 8 to 10 feet long, 5 inches wide, and 5 aninch thick, with one feather edge and four cleats-fV of an inch thick tacked on to the back to 93 BRICKWORK- afford room for the putty that is cut off to fallthrough. The putty is spread out on the rulefrom which the bricklayers, one at each end,take it off with their jointers, and with the ruleagainst the waU, working on the top edge, trans-fer it to the wall. The ragged edges are thencut off with the Fre
