Building a home with stone and lime mortar is a process that requires some expertise and experience. Firstly, select the stones and prepare them so they are ready for construction. The stones should be cut to size and the surfaces should be smooth. The next step is to mix the lime mortar, which is typically done by mixing together three parts of sand, one part of lime and water. After that, spread the mortar over the stones and then build the walls according to the desired size and shape.
The entire structure must be built on a solid foundation and be sure to use a trowel or spatula to make sure the mortar is spread evenly. Once the structure is complete, apply an outer layer of plaster to protect it from the elements and weathering.
