Talk:Stone Masonry

Heritage Grime
One Heritage Architect said "do not remove the dirt, it's Heritage Grime". The dirt has been removed and the building restored beautifully.

Another said "match the colour of the cement" the fact is cement is destructive to stone. So the architect said don't worry about the composition, just colour the mortar with teabags or coffee. The Egyptians are still laughing about Sarah Edwards who had coffee poured on Abu Simbel 100 years ago. Guess what it doesn't last. These architect have amazing arrogance given their ignorance.

Quotes in text
Is the bulk of Stone Masonry a quote from John Fitchen's Building Construction Before Mechanism? If so, it needs to be formatted properly to convey that fact. As it stands, it's unclear whether it is a direct quote and, if so, where it begins. --Swift (talk) 02:53, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
