The final Plaster push!

After last weekend's amazing effort from everybody with the initial bodycoat application, the walls still required the 'final' bodycoat; to be the last coat until next year when the thinner lime coats will be applied (thus allowing for any movement in the plaster to show up).

This coat would be a similar composition but with finer aggregate; thus a finer finish. Greg, Nicky & Robyn mixed and plastered all week but the long S wall was still waiting. Again 8 wonderful people turned up on Sat and worked all day to help us finish that huge job. I am so humbled and full of gratitude that so many people, who are now friends, have given us their time.

Intersting the colour change due to drying. Initial colour is a lovely rich colour but dries pale.

Will probably try to repliacte the initial colour with the final lime wash next year
