Bathroom partition wall re-built with the biggest aerated concrete blocks known to man, and a planed, double mortise and tenoned door frame.
Top coat done in the bread oven - lime putty/bagged lime/fine sand mix.
Making a workbench so I can do the woodwork in the house - 2 railway sleepers sawn in half, planed flat (thanks D & R!), and joined with floating tenons drawbored with thick hardwood dowels. Work in progress. Very heavy indeed.
Lime hemp going on - on the right is the first coat, on the left the second. Will be skimmed with fine plaster when set.
Bathroom plastering in progress - same recipe as the living room: lime/hemp with fine plaster top coat. Cracks like buggery, so will have to add more sand and hair next time...
Kitchen work in progress. Battens on wall are guides to get the hemp dead flat so we can tile it.
Back door frame detail: the bottom was rotten so I scarfed a new bit in and re-hung the door. Glad it fit!
Not sure if I mentioned this before. Pentice board experiment over the kitchen window, linseed oil mastic to seal the gap. Works perfectly for 30cm on the end! Have to re-do it some time...
...and some veggie shots:
Half a plot this year - no time for runners, etc.
Toms only in the tunnel. No melons!
Over-wintered garlic looking good - drying out nicely.
