Here is the house from the outside on this beautiful, clear and 34 degree day.



The interior is taking shape. The interior walls are slatted, then coated with a sticky clay/sand/chopped straw plaster.
Here is a close up of the first plaster layer.


Then a smooth plaster is applied, made with sifted sand, clay slip, flour glue, EM ceramic powder and EM, and finely chopped dried manure, and troweled smooth. In this picture, the very top part of the wall has not yet been plastered with the finish plaster. The wall ends up with a very soft and pretty stucco look. There are a few options for finishing, and we will probably do some experimenting with different versions of natural paints and finish plasters.
