NounSingular masonry Plural uncountable masonry (uncountable)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Masonry is the building of structures from individual units laid in and bound together by mortar; the term masonry can also refer to the units themselves. The common materials of masonry construction are brick, stone such as marble, granite, travertine, limestone; concrete block, glass block, and tile. Masonry is generally a highly durable form of construction. However, the materials used, the quality of the mortar and workmanship, and the pattern in which the units are assembled can strongly affect the durability of the overall masonry construction. Masonry units, such as brick, tile, stone, glass brick or concrete block generally conform to the requirements specified in the 2006 International Building Code (IBC) Section 2103. ApplicationsMasonry is commonly used for the walls of buildings, retaining walls and monuments. Brick and concrete block are the most common types of masonry in use in industrialized nations and may be either weight-bearing or a veneer. Concrete blocks, especially those with hollow cores, offer various possibilities in masonry construction. They generally provide great compressive strength, and are best suited to structures with light transverse loading when the cores remain unfilled. Filling some or all of the cores with concrete or concrete with steel reinforcement (typically rebar) offers much greater tensile and lateral strength to structures. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Can you paint a house that has pressed-board siding with paint labeled specifically for masonry? Q. I have 20 gallons of masonry paint that I was going to use to paint a house I ended up sellling. I still like the color, and I was wondering if I could paint my present house with it. This house has wooden window moldings, but is sided with some kind of pressed-board siding, like Masonite. I believe the paint is latex-based. Any suggestions?

I use the right(?) masonry drill but but the area crumbles and the drill seems to follow lines away from where I started. Then I reach a section hard to drill through but still it moves and crumbles. Is this avoidable ? I'm presuming its a reasonably thick layer of plaster. Of course the plug then doesn't fit snugly and all I'm left with is a wall with holes in it. Asked by spiritsky - Wed Jun 18 07:34:19 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. when drilling thru concrete you should have a hammer drill but you can do without.first take a punch and give yourself a starter point. you will find that you do not move as much from your starting point. next, when you come to the point where you think you are hitting thick plaster, you are realialy hitting a stone in the cement. that will make your hole sloppy. the way to aviod this is to get i punch or a mason nail, put it in your hole and give it a couple of shots with a hammer that will help break the stone and drilling will be easier.
