One of the neighbours extension is nearly finished and the roughcasters are in.

There must surely be a more modern and efficient way of doing this rather than guys lined up on the scaffolding with buckets of stones throwing shovelfulls at a time at the wall hoping some of it sticks?

I've previously seen a DIY programme a couple of years ago where they converted a garage into a play room (or something like that).

They had a hand held machine that did the throwing of the stones where they replaced the up and over garage door for brickwork, then replicated the existing cladding.

Damned if I can remember the programme though.

A quick Google found the sort of machine they used though. So yes, there are better ways than you mentioned.

Ah that’s the sort of thing I thought would be used.
Mind you it looks like it would be much slower than what the guys out the back are doing!
