How is Lime mortar made from limestone?
To make lime mortar from limestone, the limestone is first heated in a kiln to produce quicklime.

For basements experiencing water seepage, one must first check for cracks in the concrete. These cracks are easily filled with special epoxy formulas that are used to seal cement. If the cracks are large, then a mortar mix can be prepared by mixing fine sand with cement at a ratio of 2 to 1. Water seeping in from the outside requires more attention. An area must be chipped away along the crack length in a dovetail shape. The same mixture of sand and concrete is applied to the new area and allowed to dry. The mortar is then smoothed over.

Also, mortar strike could be used to 'soften up' enemy ground defenses so that the friendly ground troops attack would be made easier. Mortar strikes would use coordinates acquired by ground troops and sent over the radio to signal where the mortar strike would land. Mortar shells were just like missiles, but you could throw one, after activating it, and use it as a super powerful hand grenade when needed.
