Brett working on the fiddly parts of the west wall of the main bedroom, being the twin niches, and the parts in between the ceiling joists. Sue has done the large areas in between and around the rounded wall end.
We like doing lunchtime to evening sessions when we plaster together, and because the sun still goes down before 6pm we use head torches combined with a lantern to see what we are doing after dark. The plaster is very glittery in LED light – really shows up those quartz grains!
Brett plastering the reveals. The ensuite is wood framed with plasterboard, so the straw bale wall finishes there, we've applied cob (straw and plaster) to the end bales there to protect the straw.
Upstairs landing, reed mat walls prior to clay plastering. I liked them just like that, if it wasn`t a big fire risk I might have been tempted to leave it like that!
Jesus Plastering....on truck.

"Oh, Help Me Jesus!" PJ Harvey video {knife and brush too].
He was on the bus already when I got on, waited for three. He was TWO seats ahead of me too. I kept looking at his hair. It reminded me of the Blue Moon hair.....that was Amazing! I decided to take a photo and it was a bit blurry. When I took it again....the sleeping woman move across and perfectly! covered his head, perfectly,and during the exposure. You can see she rested on her friend. See the striped bag when he gets up? I did.
It was the 111C bus which gets done at Carey Square, and I walk about 1/2mile. Come around the bend and there is Jesus Plastering! right there. There isn't any better sign, except he was around on the 20th too,see last collage in comment.
Brett, our “ladder-monkey”, plastering the top of the east wall. The top left hand side was done with the scaffold, which was moved out of the room prior to this photograph, because our heads were starting to bump into the (downsloping) ceiling as work progressed. We find it easier and faster at this point to have one person plastering at ground level, and re-filling the top person's hawk with lime plaster when needed. You don't get in each other's way, and the ladder monkey doesn't have to climb up and down all the time.
We finally gathered enough energy to do the brown coat for the office. Brett plastering another niche – his specialty.

5/13/13 - We were able to take Kaylee outside for today's visit, which was awesome. We spread a blanket out in the shade (next to a vacant office building - you take what you can get) and got some quality cuddle time in. While we were gone the staff set up a "buffet" for her in Exam 2, where I tried to coax her into eating. I got her to lick the tongue depressor a few times, but mostly I had to trick her into eating by plastering baby food to the roof of her mouth. She was pretty annoyed with me by the time we left.
Josh finishes off the cleaning up after completing the plastering of the tricky angled sections.
Thanks to Graham for the recommendation!
Taken at Spa Aesthetica during a Keep-A-Breast's "treasured chest program." I'm still wondering what I'm going to do with this but have some good ideas including asking my tattoo artist Kurtis Gibson to sketch and/or paint it for me. I loved meeting Amanda Nixon and her volunteer staff who helped make this happen. About 8 other women participated, some post-op, some pre-op like myself. These boobs of mine are special to me because I fed my daughter with them, have stuffed them into some amazing outfits and of course, had lots of fun in the bedroom with them.
I take refuge in knowing my boobs will be back when I wander too far down the road. And I'm grateful for Train's single called "Bruises" which really summarizes how I'm going to feel about the new ones, with their scars and whatever else (nipples, no nipples [aka barbie boobs]) which is all still too far up the road for now.
By Christmas of this year, this will be all be near-distant memory, and years from now... a mere blip on my life's radar. Uncertainty is a game played well in the present moment. Today I'm certain of more things than not... like how much I'm loved & adored and more recently, respected as person who maintains the brighter/lighter side of life.
Seven days of plastering took us all around the living area, and now we need a good rest. One more round to go: The top coat will need to go on before we can fully furnish the room. This will take as long again, once the brown coat has cured. Although the finish coat is the thinnest of all and will need less plaster, you also have to take care to produce a super-neat finish.
End of Day Two of the three-day North Wall plastering marathon. A soft plastic finishing float with rounded corners has been used to create a suede type texture, instead of sand finishing.

End of Day One of the three-day North Wall plastering marathon. A soft plastic finishing float with rounded corners has been used to create a suede type texture, instead of sand finishing.
The lime skills demonstrations included a mock-up of a panel which will be lime-plastered through the weekend. GREAT to see young people involved in learning this heritage craft skill, so important to the conservation of our historic buildings.
After four days of plastering, the 40sqm north wall has a complete brown coat – hooray! Even the dog is happy, now that her chair is back in its normal place.
10 days after plastering the finish coat in our master bedroom, only the corner still obviously holds moisture and the plaster is nearly completely hardened.
Day Four of north wall brown coat plastering. Sue on the scaffold, filling in the wall – her specialty is big flat areas, while Brett has the complementary skill of doing edges, round shapes, intricate stuff.
Plastering has begun at Curfew House. Mostly we are repairing ceiling cracks but this wall is an exception and is being completely redone. Love the old lathe.
The prep for new plaster is now complete, this includes:
◦Cutting and chipping under tile (if not being replaced)
◦Chipping around all fittings, lights, etc
◦Removing old fittings and preparing for new (if applicable)
Bond coat is applied to the pool to ensure the new material has a good surface to bond to. Plaster has a very smooth surface which doesn’t give the new plaster much to grab on to. The application of an epoxy based bond coat leaves a good rough texture that allows the new plaster to grab onto and form a solid bond preventing future delamination.
