Passed the old courthouse in Albany and the brickwork is still perfect after 80 years.

They used a lime mortar mix that lets the bricks move a bit. Anyone still use that method on new builds?

Try finding a mason who knows lime mortar.

@the_oscar, how much extra do they charge for that?

Man I don't know, is finding someone who knows lime mortar really that hard? Maybe I've just been lucky but seems like a lot of masons can handle it if you ask.
