[papercreters] Re: Lath and Plaster replacement...

That is the funny thing about Indiana not even Lowes or Home Depot carry it and you can't even have it sent to the store on special order I tried. I can not get hydrated lime at either store though it is carried in other states I've lived in.

I have only lived here just over a year and I am still learning the local stores. But there is good news I was able to find it at a local store Menards. I guess I will have to change my way of thinking and quit being a Home Depot junky and shop the lesser known stores in the area..... Well lesser known to me.
