I've always wondered because it looks like crap and it seems like it wouldn't be that hard to clean. Maybe I should take some photos of stuff that could easily be cleaned with a $200 pressure washer and send it to schulz.the black discoloration on some buildings is a chemical reaction due to the limestone not being native to this area. limestone that is native to this area does not have this reaction to rain, and therefore does not discolor.

DelishDon't eat too fast, not sure if entirely accurate. according to K-State, and some random website, a lot of our dirty buildings were constructed of native KS limestone (no offense Limestone).

you sure it isn't car exhaust?
it's tractor/harley exhaust
Quote from: GoodForAnother on August 07, 2013, 09:42:53 AMyou sure it isn't car exhaust?well I paid a lot of money to K-State for a graduate level course to learn about masonry, so I'm gonna respond that "I'm sure its not car exhaust."

The staining is called efflorescence. This staining is caused by salts and other minerals present in the mortar. When rained on theses salts and minerals migrate to the surface of the stone and when the water evaporates we see the stains.
all kinds of professors, teachers, doctors, etc believe stuff that isnt true.
