9 am - the new bale wall golden in the morning sun. The area around the kitchen door - showing green because of the laths supporting plaster on the inside - can't be built yet because of problems with the foundations.
By noon, we have long laths down the bales, with twine threaded through to tie them back to the wood frame, and blue plastering mesh on most exposed wood.
Debbie and Tom arrived to inspect the works, bringing baby Rebecca and 3 year old Amy who became the youngest person to help stuff straw in the walls (unfortunately not photographed).
Then we started plastering - Lucy having a go at ground level - just lashing the stuff on by hand - with rubber gloves. At this stage we just want a waterproof coating on all over.
Panos, Lucy's boyfriend, was able to join us on Sunday, and threw himself enthusiastically into the operation
Then we stopped for lunch
