This book is a plea for a sympathetic approach to the conservation
and repair of traditional stone buildings. These beautiful
buildings are in danger of disappearing from the landscape because
they are not yet properly understood. Here is a book about saving
them by applying traditional techniques in a sympathetic manner,
using materials and methods that are in harmony with their nature.
Patrick McAfee, a stone-mason, conservation consultant and author
of the bestselling Irish Stone Walls, shows how traditional stone
buildings were originally constructed; he outlines the traditional
techniques, tells how the stone was worked and details the proper
methods of repair and maintenance. As well as dealing with stone,
the book also covers lime mortars and other traditional finishes.
Includes a survey of stone buildings world-wide. Much of the
information is practical, hands-on, and intended for the
enthusiastic householder as well as the more experienced builder,
with step-by-step instructions from an acknowledged expert.
