I'm having the rear of my home pointed. the license contractor just put a 5 gallon of 'graded sand' down my basement, and will start tomorrow morning. is this a good grade that is typically used for pointing? i read somewhere once that contractors have been using some inferior products. hoping this is not one of them.
