Tea?

CL, or NHL? Lime is rather a generic term. And we're talking specifically about chalk-based lime renders, here (although the Spanish for "render" is "mortar", and it was a Spanish chemist who gave the main talk, which caused some confusion). Chalk-and-fibre (bovine hair, generally) is the traditional East Anglian approach with our highly flexible timber buildings, but the Spanish tend to base their renders on sand. I think what you want to know, however, is 14 feet, albeit you probably meant to say 4270mm. I hope this is all becoming clear now.

Just the one simple question:
Why was a Spaniard, who's countrys choice of render is sand, give a speech about the use of lime in Anglia(where they have flexible buildings) mix it with abnormal cow hair, to which someone from Suffolk attended, who seems to have forgot it was 12 foot, although he was expecting 14 foot, from someone who still uses feet and inches?

Really, it should be obvious. Come on Classic, focus.

Very few wattle buildings round here. Last one I worked on was in the late '70's. Complete with thatched roof. All natural ingredients/materials used. All imperial measurements.

Last time lime was used, it all went into one hole.

Were you slaking it?

Mind you, lime is what made stone buildings work, too. Oh, and I'm bilingual in reality, but am obliged to stick to mm on drawings. That's the way of the world.

25 lbs of hair to the cubic yard of dry mix (lime & chalk). That's a lot of hair. Nowadays, abattoirs remove hair from skins using (acid or alkili????), so animal hair is hard to get in the UK. Most animal hair these days is goat hair imported from China.

Getting rid of something.

Best done where there's plenty of air movement, discreet/out of the place locations. Gas build-up is soon noticed otherwise.

Good Morning

Morning Choo Choo. It's a tad gloomy up here this morning with some showers forecast later. I think I will have a day off the bike anyway and maybe do some extra walking.

You're right*! I just put on the radio and John Humphries said "You are listening to Yesterday on BBC Radio 4, and yesterdays news is read by Kathy Clugston."



* For certain values of "right" as might be espoused by Donald Fart in the White House.

Saddleworth Moor is the traditional spot, isn't it?
