First Coat Render

With the help of a spray pump and some trusty helpers, the first coat of render went on in about one and a half days. The recipe was about 40 shovels of red maslin plasterer’s sand, 2 20kg bags of hydrated lime and half a bag of cement.

The Wall We Helped To Build

We raised the strawbales around this corner and along this wall one weekend last year. It actually looks quite straight.

So proud of “our” strawbale wall.
