I love this lady. She takes her profession seriously, and you can see that the lame jokes get on her nerves. I'd love to hang out with the to learn how to earthen plaster. I'm at the stage she's showing, and I have a bunch of question.

She's seems smart and dignified too. She probably scares away guys. Not me though. She's older, but I could challenge her.

Why not press bricks out of straw and clay and build, like large blocks or something. This is a bit too backwards :)

@allypullin thank you. don't remeber asking you - or talking to you, but that just shows how rude you are.

@TigerEyeJewel That just shows your lack of intelligence and inability to even communicate without foul language. You only prove to the rest of the world what a total peasant you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It may look crude but that will last years, i work in a hall that was built like this in the 16/17th century and it's still standing strong

Plastering this way will result in you having nothing but bloody nubs for hands and fingers...
