Dear smudger.

If your pointing is crap , then it wont get any better when you are balancing up a ladder.

The only saving grace is that if its high up you might not be able to see it :)

Make sure your mortar is not too wet. Use building sand not sharp sand. Dampen (but not soak) the joints first. Rake out joints to 20mm

Dont point off a ladder,not only does it restrict your movement so you cant point properly but its dangerous.
towers are not that expensive to hire and the diffrence in neatness will
be noticeble.
