Ken ; are you reading john servies bio on Stalin ?? Koba (as his frinds called him ) was one of the most underated ruthless sycopaths in the 20 th cent ; Lenin feared him ; a bank robber and a killer his hands were never bloodied by his own actions but by that of his subbordinates. Communism until tv and the hugarian revolution was monolithic in its appeal to the poor and the down trodden .
Huey Long may have created a socialist state and Hillary certainly will ; I am not sure that we will see the likes of Stalin here ;but stay tuned Py?

The best up coming workshop on Forts will be APT in San Juan;
to which I highly recomend the "natural cement " to be represented there

I am currently assisting a local heritage team on a small island in
the Philippines with the conservation of their fort. It was built by
the Spanish in the mid 1600's, and is made of cut coral with lime
mortar. At the moment the fort has extensive structural damage due
to weathering and vegetation growth on and around the fort. Many of
the blocks are falling away due to mortar loss, the stresses have
caused turrets to break off from the fort walls, and one wall is
completely bowed from modern infilling material placed behind the
wall.
(remove and replace piecemeal with compatible mortar; allowing each repair to
set before proceeding )
Having not had much experience in architectural conservation, I am
wondering if anyone has any information on how best to repair such a
site, in particular the leaning towers and major structural cracks
which are threatening to collapse.
(if they have met thier moment ; and cannot be jacked ;they are take down and
rebuild )(cracks need to be packed and stitched )
Also, I am wondering if anyone
has any information on an appropriate mortar that can be used in
conjunction with cut coral bricks. Being a small provincial island,
with most of the work being volunteer, it is extremely difficult and
exorbitantly expensive to obtain chemicals here, therefore any
information on easily obtainable 'recipes' that would not be
confused with the original mortar would be greatly appreciated.

You do not need to get fancy here the coral itself if burned properly will
make a lime mortar, it is the material they more than likely used in the
first place.
This was done in Spanish forts in Florida and Bermuda.

Brian, thank you for trying to reply directly to her. Py didn't post the
query - I did. Credit where credit is due! My direct reply to her bounced
back, also. I have collected all responses, and will send them to her when the
moderator of ConsDistList-L replies to me with her correct email address.
Cool topic.
