Abstract

Advocates the use of lime in the repair of old buildings rather than the hard, but brittle, impervious materials used in cement mixes today. Points out the advantages of lime in indoor and outdoor repairs. Describes the natural cycle of lime production and gives general advice not only on how to use, store and identify the different types of lime on sale today, but also on the precautions to be taken when using lime.
