Lads,
Whats the different in terms of drying time for Lime Mortar and Portland Cement?
Lets say its half brick thick and English Bond.
I think as below, assume brick thickness is 65mm and mortar thick is 10mm.
1. Lime Mortar - 6 layers of brick / day for curing (About 450mm of height)
2. Cement Mortar - 15 layers of bricks / day for curing (about 1125mm if height)
I mean the restriction for maximum of bricks can do as the mortar need to be cured before more bricks can be built vertically
