Walls crumbling down

 

The plan is to add a framed window into the wall so the adobe will be on display forever.

I was shoveling the decayed plaster into a bucket and carrying it through the rain to a pile of debris ready to go to the dump.

Endless work that is rewarding but the casual guest would not even notice I've done anything. The drywall had to come off so I could repair the old plaster with Lime Plaster. And the AC condenser pan decided to crack and leak so that involved gluing the cracks while I hunt for a replacement pan. The wall needed a ton of lime plaster.

all the bottom 30 inches of this house have plaster that has turned back into dirt

This takes a huge effort of mixing lime and sand and water and hurling it against the dirt.

This wall has to be rearranged so I can benefit from the air conditioner in this area and also so I can fit a queen sized bed. the wall's only purpose is keeping the roof from caving in but I have plans to replace the framework with a big beam.

the arthritic fingers on Oggy's hands have almost reached their limit which is why there is no time to delay to get this work done. He will soon be too handicapped to do it.
