  1. Bom dia. Gosto de ver o vosso progresso. Sou português, percebo o que dizem mas não sei escrever em inglês. Quais os materiais que estão a utilizar, um percebi que é cal viva, mas o outro não seio que é? Good job.

  2. To get straight walls there are rendering metal rods. Attache with same material day before. Make it directly level over the entire wall. Pre moist the wall. Afterward moist can be soaked up and even hardens the lime.

  3. Great video.
    Looks like you got very nice results.
    Could you share with us your mix ratio? And what is the name of the Spanish firm you got the hemp from.
    That would be great help as I want to get my walls covered with hemp and lime as well.
    Good luck with the rest of the house 😊

  4. I went with insulated lime render – basically a lime render with small glass beads added to it, – supposedly improves the U value of a solid wall by up to 40% (at 5CM) was lovely to put on the walls and so far so good!

  5. Hi in Montenegro which has similar conditions to you guys. Lime putty is used a lot people over the years have used all sorts of things added to the mix. Having learned the ways to plaster in the uk I found the local way odd but it works very well. They make the mixture a little wetter and throw it on to the wall after which troweling or smoothing.

  6. Great to see yor drainage systems working and what a terrific finnish the hemp makes,i used to hang hemp rope for hanging off chimneys,steeples ect on bosons chairs and if you leave hemp rope wet it quickly forms damp smells and rots so best to dry quick and not use to much water, looking great .
