Goodness Gary where do you live?
Here, lime is what you spread on the lawn to offset the acidity of the clay that is standard ground component in this area.
Nobody knows about quick lime, putty lime or slaked lime.
Anybody else lives on the east cost?
Hello!!
I am the only person I know who has this crazy starving for the making of frescoes. If by anychance I find somebody who should know something about stuccoes and material for, the answer is ...
They do not know.
Yoram, You are lucky to live in a mediterranean country.
I do not ignore the political( I should say also ethnical ) problems in Israel. I guess my dream would be to live on a greek island and work on frescoes all winter and take some days off in the summer to meet the tourists and sit with the local people.
Oh well!
Instead I have to endure the cold winters in the Washingtonian area and when comes summer it is too muggy to go outside anyway.
To get back to the "brickyards" and lime retailers issues.
The almost only hardware store that is left in our area is big bad ugly Home Depot. They have efficiently killed all others.
Little by little I figure the paint stores are going to die too as well as other specilaty businesses leaving us with absolutely zero choice of where to go to and what to buy.
Sigh!
