the corner: everything that came out of your garage this spring needs

Get
the right mix for flagstone, brick
Q. I am installing
flagstone and some paving brick on top of a concrete patio. A book I
read suggests mixing sand, cement and hydrated lime in different proportions
to make the mortar mix. What is hydrated lime, and is it necessary to
add it? Lastly, as cold weather is around the corner, when should I
stop working so as to prevent freeze damage to fresh mortar? —
