…and one of the utility and porch roof. I am very happy with the appearance.
On Thursday, Joshua, Justin, Georg and I tried unsuccessfully to shoot Natural Hydraulic Lime plaster (NHL 3.5) from 2 different air powered spray guns. Joshua ended up troweling the material onto the north exterior wall around the bathroom window.On Friday, Joshua and I mixed NHL 5 plaster and troweled it onto the east and northeast exterior walls. The material spread well and appeared to adhere well to the wall. More to come next week on how crack-free the plaster cures. Here is a pic from around the bathroom window.
Coady and Adam completed the rough plumbing on Thursday.Green comment for today:
Consider a standing seam metal roof as an alternative to asphalt shingles. A metal roof is more expensive, but can last 5 times longer than shingles. Metal is 100% recyclable when it comes time for replacement. A metal roof is also more energy efficient in climates that require air conditioning.
Thanks for reading. I enjoy your comments.

So was there a problem with the Natural Hydraulic Lime plaster (NHL 3.5) or the sprayers? I was just wondering. Still looking great and what a view. Miss ya, hopefully we can have some beers next year while checking out that view. cheers

Jason,
The sprayers were not meant for spraying plasters that are mixed with sand. I purchased a sprayer meant for the task, ans we should be trying that soon. Thanks for writing.

I saw lots of metal roofs in Australia and in Tasmania in particular. I like the variation of colors available. Your home looks fantastic. (I am very jealous) From Eileen
