It’s a long-time Earthaven Ecovillage tradition.

When a house is ready for its exterior plaster coating, we have a big party and invite all our friends. Dozens of Earthaven houses have gotten their pretty exterior face that way.

It makes the work much more fun and the project goes way faster.

My partner Chris and I are building a new building, which includes two residences and a community space, and the first weekend in June was our turn.
Day two of a four-day plaster party on our new house
(Chris and I will be moving into the middle floor)
We are so grateful to all the helping hands, the cheerful hearts, and the supportive backs.

We are thrilled to be nearly ready to move into our house and I look forward to giving you a tour of the whole building!

In case you’re wondering, the plaster formula is three parts sand to one part lime, with a small amount of brick dust for strength. Mix in enough water to make it workable and you’re ready to plaster.

I hope you thoroughly enjoy this Summer Solstice Weekend!
