Iβm quite behind on this. On the week of 2025-10-06, I was doing building work all week, so didnβt 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.
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.
