He Preston,  be sure to say hello to Cedar in person for me, I just 
interviewed her ( via the show producer who set it up) on my local 
K-MUD (In Humboldt co. CA) radio show in Aug.,  she did not seem know 
who I was , and I was not able to coax her to speak about a lime floor 
she is experimenting on.  (some people want to wait til things are all 
tidied  and up before discussion, but... me, I like to share what's 
going on as I do it...pratfalls and all : > )


  Lime floors seem to be all the rage now, ...but I am wondering if 
anyone will be brave enough to do one on a post and pier or wooden 
floor..

and speaking of lime floors--My friend Nolan sent me some Magnesium 
Prills ( also known as ( non food grade)  Nigari) , and has a whole 
pallet load of sacks he bought  he does not need...so will see if they 
can be of use when broken down  and repacked into 10 pound sacks or 
something.. a little goes a long way.

Prills are a part of the making of a lime &  clay flooring.
