Finished Slaking

A new volunteer, Gina, came at the weekend and David showed her the ropes of roofing.

We polished off one more section and then moved on to slaking the last of the quicklime.

Andy’s spinny tool came in handy but a lot of it still had do be done with hoes.

I’m glad to see the last of that job. I hope we will have made enough to render the whole building. I wish I’d finished earlier, because this lot will be ripe about October and that’s getting a bit late to be rendering, really. Still, there’s a fair amount ready now and hopefully enough to get the whole place rendered without having to dip into the latest stuff til quite late in the process.

And it’s bilberry season.
