Thanks so much for the excellent instruction! It gave us the knowledge and confidence we needed to take on the repairs to our 1903 firehouse ourselves.

We really appreciate you taking the time to come to Memphis and look at our building and give us advice on the best way to proceed with repairing the brick work and facade.

You also saved us the money we were going to spend putting in the metal frame work we thought we needed. We now know that the skills you taught us will keep this building standing for another century.

Andy - I thought I would send you a couple pictures of my summer project. The mix for the job was local sand and concrete sand plus a little tan die and your 3.5 Hyd Lime. The house originally had an inverted "V" joint and I tried my best to copy that and expose the aggregate. The whole job was by myself and I kept track of the time, it totaled 190 hrs and that included everything. I really enjoyed the work and will be doing the other end of the house next summer. I would appreciate any helpful hints or pointers you might have. Your help in the past has been greatly appreciated.

Dear Mr deGruchy,
I wanted to thank you for all your support, advice and the wonderful products you offer. I just completed a week ago the dormer project. We are very happy. And while I know there might be a million ways I could have done better I am very proud of this and I love the color. Special thanks to Jim as well for promptly sending us all we needed. Through this I think I discovered a new love in my life: Lime. I absolutely loved working with the ® Mortar DGM and the lime color. Thank You.

Kind regards,
Cristina van Bladel, Pine Island NY

Jonathan Arn of Brookline Builders:
The workshop was essential for me to take before attempting to use Natural Hydraulic Lime Mortar, especially since I have been using Portland based mortars for years and years. The history of mortar taught in the course explains in clarity why modern day Portland is so widely used and why so many modern craftsman have no idea what Natural Hydraulic Lime Mortar is.
One overlooked monetary savings is the fact that unused Natural Hydraulic Lime Mortar can be saved overnight for continued use the next morning, this one thing translates into a big money saver.

Jason Darity of Brookline Builders:
Learned new and excellent pointing techniques. The History of why most modern construction uses Portland based cements was critical for me to understand and a huge part of the course.
The Natural Hydraulic Lime Mortar course was taught in layman's terms by the clergy of lime mortar, Andy deGruchy.
