  2. Cook the limestones over fire, they will change completely, they will swell up, becoming less dense.

  3. Allow the cooked stones to cool off completely

  4. Pour water over top of the cooled stones and they will hiss and crack, the solid parts will turn into an absorbent powder. They will mush and then you're almost done making homemade concrete.
