Arizona House

We are back home after another intense week of Earth and Lime plastering in Cochise County, Arizona.

Looking good huh?

Actually this is not the house we plastered but one we drove by every day to work. I really liked the simplicity and the minimal upkeep required. A winter house for snow birds from somewhere.

Another road named after my dad!

If you know me then you know why I took this picture

On our last day of work we had a big visitor, the size of my fist.

Maybe this evening I will get around to posting pictures of our work.

Two More

Satomi and I are making good progress plastering here in Arizona. In one since the weather couldn't be better, overcast and rain has really been great for the lime.

Yesterday we finished the west side so two sides are done. During drying times we have been plugging away on the east. Weather wise on this side the cooler temps and humidity are slowing down the drying times. This, along with the volume of mud required is taking us a bit longer than planned so we have decided to stay an extra day this trip.

That means two more days to go!

I had promised to keep you up to date as our plaster job here in Arizona continues but every night my eyes are too tired staring at little pictures on this lap top and I quit, tonight is no different.

Just in case you don't believe me it has rained in Kingston

Dripping wet

Vinagroon's smell like Vinegar, quite harmless

If we all could be so lucky!

Unfortunately Satomi and I could not fly up to Seattle for the party.

Yum!

Now what?

Laughing at that kiss?

Ready for the guests

Let the fun begin!

Arizona Bound

Some of you know we had a plastering Job in Arizona back in June on a custom Straw Bale house. Sunday we head there for phase two, another week on the exteriors. This time I will post pictures of the progress. Will give me something to do while hanging out in the hotel room since the fires in Arizona are out. At least I think they are.

Lying Around

Been a slow week here for us. A bit of R and R. Actually a bit of recovery from hitting my head and crunching my neck 6 weeks ago on a job site. Another Chiropractor visit yesterday and so far three appointments for deep tissue massage with a local therapist, a slow recovery. Didn't help that once home from the job I kept working here instead of taking care of myself.

A neighbor lent me his Inverting Table which I used for 15 minutes a day.

Just lying around

Nap time

Ah!
