Dear
Craig:
Answering
your last question first, I think that Forrest Gump would say, “Like mama
always says, limestone is like a box of chocolate… You never know what you're
gonna get!”
On a more
serious note, by saying limestone you're saying very little – if anything at
all. There are many different (and I do mean
different) kinds of limestone that span from dense and acceptable
rocks, to limestone that will actually fall apart under running water or
“powder” or “bleach” (all problems with no solution), and everything in between.
And hence my lack of… enthusiasm about limestone in general. :-)
