All hail the Render Queen

So one rainy day Michelle decided to tackle the fun job of smearing mud all over the walls to make a uniform surface and to fill any cracks, technically known as rendering.

I think she quite enjoyed it

Looks like a real one!
On a sunnier day I put in the last of the glass; very satisfying indeed.


OK so not everything goes according to plan. The fascia that I'd made out of plywood and was very proud of got a bit friendly with the rain and swelled up and twisted and generally ruined itself. So I ripped it off and replaced it. Broke my heart but the result is even better than the first version.
and it's made from marine plywood which as the name suggests is waterproof, and just to be sure I've sealed it. Ha!

Meanwhile the render queen was back in action, turning this wall from this....

to this. I know it's abit hard to see and it's dark because it's wet bit stay tuned cause before your very eyes....
