You will bring the bulk up to the same thing.
A.
The bulk will be brought up to more, because I would
recommend more than six inches of hardoors, about nine
inchos of hardcore, but if I might be allowed to correct
that price, I think it is a little low to say double.
For instance, a good lime concrete can be got here for
$3 a yard cube. It is very difficult to get it good,
and I dont think that aement concrete, going into it
carefully, could be got for $6. I should it would be
more likely $9, three times instead of twice, if I
might be allowed to correct that.
That mean four inches, instead of six inches ?

that has nothing to do with the thickness. That is
merely the price of the material.

Now, coming back to lime concrete, do you not think it
is possible to make a floor of concrete, composed of
lime, that would he impervious to damp?

No.

And do you say that on account of the lime ageing 73
or on account of any of the other materials which are
used?
It is partly on account of the lime and partly on
account of the red eart, which is used.
