Really interesting lime mortar research paper

[a twig]

In my sad obsession with all things PP - was doing some background reading on selection of NHL mortars based on building materials, prevailing weather, effectiveness of drainage etc and found this really interesting paper:

Worth a read imho - particularly relevant to the recent posts around saturated walls etc

thank you really really interesting paper in particular if one is in an exposed coastal zone in the SW with parapets and coping stones and no gutters to the front gables!
