Scott- I live in central NC and have been searching for simple mason's hydrated Type S lime to do a lath and plaster wall. I've spent hours calling every mason, building, drywall, concrete supplier in the region, and no one has, can get, or has even heard of Type S lime. I know it's so available all over the rest of the US. I have no idea why we're in a lime desert here. But it's near impossible! If anyone has any other ideas of where to look, i'd love to hear them! Thanks
