I’m quite behind on this. On the week of 2025-10-06, I was doing building work all week, so didn’t do much for the environment. We did experiment with lime plaster, though, which is a common heritage building material, so tangentially environment-related. It took ages to dry.

#EnvironmentThisWeek #LimePlaster

Our rustic renewed stable with some old tools. Wooden basket filled with fresh dried hay for the calves outside, old cutting device for straw and hay. There is always something to improve or renew, but sometimes the old structure and tools do their job pretty, pretty well.

Yet we already were able to track back such attempts of controlled early (even earlier) #pyrotechnology with the production of #LimePlaster in the Pre-Pottery #Neolithic near East:

Been using #Limewash and a no cement, no sand #LimePlaster to change walls and a room into something lighter and fresher.

Since read technical documents and I did the lime plaster wrong.
But in this climate on these bricks, it's worked so far.
And whitewash over old acrylic render maybe shouldn't have worked but has.

Here in a lower moisture environment limewash/limeplaster is very forgiving.

Except for eyes - ouch, ouch ouch.
And sratched and abraided skin - mild burns that healed slowly.

More #Introduction I originate from Scotland but I've been based on the Isle of Wight for most of my life.

I can't vote for it, but I'm hoping for an #IndependentScotland so I can get my #Scottish passport and rejoin the #EU.

I speak #English, and #BritishSignLanguage a little bit. Also dabbled in #Esperanto and #French.

And I've recently restored a +400 year old cottage using #TraditionalBuilding techniques and a lot of #LimePlaster.
