Exterior Clay 202

Welcome!

East Side.

After many color samples vacillating back and forth between yellow, green and brown we opted for #054. Mostly soft brown with red highlights.

The second story proved quite challenging in some areas. Lovely bottom Natanya!


This view shows the finished lime plaster below Second story has the lime wash with coloured pigment.

We had rave reviews about the gray second coat, but decided that there is enough grey in Oregon, so we started the hunt for a suitable color. Too many color swatches, too few agreements on finished color


The weather was challenging, despite the weather man assuring us it would be dry. He was wrong. Plaster does not like rain

Mike the Mixer making sure the ratios of lime to sand are spot on!


Things came together well and the 2nd coat adhered well to the 1st coat.
