  • It’s time for yet more hemp lime plastering. My sister is visiting and wanted to lend a hand so we thought we’d show her how we do our base coat plaster - from mixing to applying to the rough stone walls by hand.
    For the base coat we use:
    2 buckets of hydrated lime
    2 buckets of hemp
    1.5 buckets of water
    Mix to a consistency of tuna mayo
    Leave for 15mins
    Mix and adjust consistently with water until you have a mix that sticks together when worked in your hands
    Apply by hand onto rough walls
    Optionally apply with a trowel but you’ll need a significantly wetter mix.

    Your sister is a natural!! When she said " moist" I knew the three of us would have a chuckle!! Thank you!! The aftertakes were fantastic. Hard but good!!
    You have a lot of walls!!

    You should sell tickets.
    Most of the viewers felt the need to help!
    But I think it’s easy to do it once and harder to do it repeatedly.
    Lovely people.

    Man, that's exhausting work... I mean, sitting by the camera doing nothing, yawning at the precise time ... that's not just hard work, but something only a fully skilled person can even hope to achieve...
    Seriously now, awesome work! And special congrats to the ladies who, at least in this video, did indeed pull up most of the work! 😃

  • @rolandtb3
    @rolandtb3 Год назад +1

    So a few more trainee base plastering lessons. Then you have a potential team of traind volunteers for upstairs and future projects. Great teamwork you three. Personally, I know it's more time consuming, but I like the tuck pointing. Alot more stone character and definition shows through. Plastered walls have more layers (3), insulation (thicker), handle more moisture, easier to maintain.
    Guy your sister is a trooper, quick learner.

    Guy, You must be an excellent teacher, your sister jumped into the task as if she’s an old hand at plastering! I found myself thinking I wish I was there to lend a hand.
    Enjoyed watching the fun of siblings who obviously love each other having fun at each other’s expense! Loved the video!

    That wall is a joy . I do wonder why your hesitancy when the stone wall comes up .I love stone walls as long as they don’t hinder things like installing insulation or cables and so on I suppose ,but visually the stones are quite beautiful .Also they certainly show the ingenuity of the builder when only having them available for building.That being said ,we all have our likes and dislikes,different opinions and so on ,and your choices certainly are bringing about a beautiful and sound dwelling.

I love learning all about your rendering and what you use. I will doing it at some point. Thanx for all the great tips. Gina in Upstate New York USA moving to Portugal. I absolutely love that wall. GREAT JOB. WOW without the frame. AWESOME! GREAT JOB SIS!!!!

    Yes, you both have the same sense of humour... blend in Kylie and it's a perfect mix. I remember when the channel first started and some of the looks exchanged when certain phrases or words were mentioned. Obviously Guy is the influencing factor!! Great video as always and honestly never get tired of watching plastering walls while I have my breakfast. Perfect start to my Sunday.

    Welcome back Emma,
    If you do a great job your not leaving. your doomed😮
    What your brother and Kylie are doing on the farm is fantastic. So organic so true.
    I love the stonework above where you were working today.
    If you want a bit of bling put a nice thin ornate or plain plaster edging you can make yourslves, you buy the moulds. I think it would look pretty good choosing maybe cherry blossom or birds on a branch.
    As always im looking at a completed wall. Brilliant job to all.

    Wow, so many comments and the video has only been released a short time! Video with chatter was preferred here but I do enjoy some silent speedy footage too. The transformation of the room is remarkable especially the lighting in the room with smooth white walls verses a dark lumpy rock wall. Loved the funny ending even the chicken round up good thing you don't have a dozen! Little sisters are the best! I know cuz I am one 😊

  • @joannecarroll5504
    @joannecarroll5504 Год назад

    Regarding your spraying water on the wall? It's about the effect of ambient temperature/thermal mass, your materials, evaporation/absorption, reduction in the fluid content of the mortar/batter/hempcrete etc. Here in Australia, when doing plaster/render, laying some forms of paving/bricklaying etc. during summer, we'll often use a huge utility sponge & bucket of water to pre-wet warm surfaces & materials. We also sometimes dunk bricks or pavers briefly in a bucket of water before pressing them into the mortar bed. Water cools them down, stopping the previously overheated surfaces from 'fast-cooking' the mortar etc with its retained heat from the sun. It's more structurally sound & safe for render, mortar, hempcrete etc to set & cures slowly, so we take precautions to slow down the drying of concrete pours too, during summer.

    I've recommended to the PIPs channel that they check out your channel. They are renovating their tiny house in Central Portugal, Coimbra district. It has damp problems and I feel they can learn a lot about how to correct the water seeping into their walls rather than just repairing it with same materials and methods than caused the problem to begin with. You are making progress in leaps and bounds now that the ground works are done.
