i render thee not so hopeless...

HERE we are as of today, the 8th of August 2010.....
Progress has been slow but steady.
All the straw work is complete, all the external walls are rendered to at least the first coat, and a few walls are also lime-rendered. We are trying to get all the lime render coats onto the external walls before the anticipated precipitation.......

south wall windows adjusted to line up with final coats. one more coat (not by us) on this wall...
clay render on the west walls... two more lime render coats to go...

temporarily covered the gable with ply until we get all the double glazing on the triangulated frames....

yep - this window to be refixed to sit outwards - render too thick!

joists for the deck...

view into the mezannine...

imagine this with the red alpolic offcuts?

:-)

ooo ya!
