More lime

Finally getting onto some finishing details. Today John started the lime plastering skim coat and we are experimenting with the primer. “Officially” one should use a primer from Bayosan to go onto regular plaster but we are doing a bit of atrial as at £100 per 10 litre pack it ain’t a cheap solution. We are trialling our own PVA based concoction which comes in at more like 10p per litre (which looks remarkably similar)… of course time will tell so we may not know for 2 years but that’s the nature of experiments. We will update at some time in the future and in 2 years will know for sure… if it fails dramatically i suspect we will know a lot sooner.

Here’s John  getting into the fiddly detail and making a fine job of highlighting the oak spreader.
