The interior continues to have the clay slip applied.  The push was to get the outside covered with lime ASAP
This is a good example of the wires and boxes being fixed in place with the clay slip.  







The plaster continues on the outside.  The whole crew applying plaster, including my sister Carolyn!
Virgina, Kindra, Connie, Kate and Carolyn.  I bet Jamie is mixing plaster!

Tutorial on installing 17 ga. stucco mesh between 1st and 2nd layers of lime plaster.  Because my house is in a wind storm area near the Gulf the mesh is part of the structural package.
