Removing Stone Veneer Grout?

by bpowell in Block Walls

The company that did our exterior stone veneer did not do a good job in maintaining consistency when they grouted it. The grouting was done over a couple of days and they used different people so I'm assuming they didn't use the same mix recipe.

There are areas where the grout is much darker than the rest of the house. The company is no longer in business so I can't go back to them to fix it. My question is can I apply another layer of grout over top of the existing grout? If not, are there any alternatives to removing the grout and regrouting? If not, what is the best way of removing the grout? I don't remember what the grout technique is called but it is a thick grout joint, probably 1-1.5 inches wide.

Thanks.

How long can I keep concrete mixing for?

by jmeesin in Pour Concrete

If I mix up a batch of concrete in my 3.5 cubic foot mixer, how long will the concrete be good for assuming that I keep it turning except for very short stops to pull out a bucket of material?

I assume it should be good for several hours as long as it is kept mixing, but I am not certain.
