OK guys and gals, you're the experts here. I've got a fella who's gonna
come and put my loose bricks back it and pretty 'em up for me. Mortar is
the stuff between the bricks, right? I always called it ceement but you
guys said that ain't right. Now what kind of mortar am I supposed to tell
him to use. These bricks must have been made sometime around 1870 as
that's when the house was built. I think my gggrandfather owned the
brickyard actually.
BTW: Why is the stuff that goes between bricks the same as a "bullet" for
a large military gun? Ruth
