Donning the armour

Today was another momentous day in the retreat valley. Three of us die-hards arrived at 7 to get the last bit of lime plaster on Cabin 34. With the weather turning cold, plaster and stucco timing has to be done very carefully. Tonight was slated to be the warmest night this week, 41 degrees, the lowest temp recommended for lime plaster to be exposed to before it is cured. So, we started early to give the wall all day to be in warmer temperatures in hopes that the chemistry would cooperate. And, by 10 am, we had a fully finished exterior to a very beautiful retreat cabin. Here are some photos of our lime plaster day last Saturday, when we did most of the house. Thanks to Della, Michael, Keith, Eric, and Teresa for their help. It was an awesome day.
