Description

I gathered these old ways into a small book you can keep in a kitchen drawer — it is over at https://amishlevi.com Before the first hard freeze, take a closer look at your old stone cellar. Levi Stoltzfus walks through lime mortar, hard cement patches, damp joints, simple diagnostic tools, and the autumn repointing process shown in this video.
