Lime Plastering

This is a sequence of images showing the living room being lime plastered.  This is the first haired scratch coat which is being applied directly onto the laths.  This coat was then crosshatched so that the next coat would adhere  The images were captured from a camcorder so please excuse the quality - we had to photograph them off the TV!

We learnt how to do this after attending a course on using traditional lime products run by Mike Wye and Associates (details can be found on the suppliers & links pages)
