[Cob] sources for Hydrated Lime

[dirtcheapbuilder-Charmaine Taylor]

try a horse or farm goods store... most towns have a feeds and supplies 
place for local horse owners/small farmsteads.  .  they will have 
hydrated lime... it will say so on the bag as High Calcium... or 
Dolomitic. Hydrated Lime... costing about $7-8.  50 lb sack.


also ask for mason's lime  some people think you want a cement with 
lime and sand premeixed in..you dont of course.

some Home despots carry it, and our local small builders supplier has 
it.  Our guy is called Hensell's. Building  Materials .. yours may be 
Bob's supplies or some such.

   ( a serious-to-the-trades seller of  brick, slate, sheetrock, roofing 
materilas, sand/rock by the yard...)

Call a large local  building contractor listed in phone books and ask 
where they get it.

Call a gravel yard or sand/rock/ landscaping  company..

Lastly Genlime is the regional supplier in Ohio.. look them up onsline 
and see who their distributor is... and track someone down. You may 
need to drive several hours unfortunately.
