I've been mapping out the load distribution for that old stone arch, and I think your traditional mortar techniques could keep it safe without altering its look. What do you think?
Sounds solid, but let’s double‑check the joint spacing and lime mix first. Old mortar works best when you let it breathe, not when you rush it into place.
Good point. I'll check the joint gaps and keep the lime mix at the right consistency, letting it set slowly so the arch can breathe. We'll be precise, not rushed.
Nice, that’s the mindset. A slow, steady pour will keep the arch honest and let the lime do its healing work. Keep the eye on the joints, and you’ll have the right balance.
I’ll keep the joints tight and the lime just right, then let it dry slowly. The balance will hold, and the arch will stand for the next few centuries.
