I now know why a present day builder avoids lime mortar like the plague.
Takes ages to set. Fine in the days of a horse and cart, I suppose.
I'm fairly sure most builders who /do/ avoid it like the plague simply don't understand it and don't want to learn.
We've got lime mortar & plaster in parts of our house. It's better against the timber frame, and it fits the age of the building.
But however slow it doesn't take a year (less 6 days) to set!
