Hello all,
Joined as I am currently renovating a house. Most of the work will be plastering.
I'm using lime for the whole project and it is going well so far. I am trying to be considerate of the building and be gentle in my improvements. I am staying away from any method with 'proofing' in it. Just keeping moisture away and using traditional and simple methods to avoid any damage to the fabric.
Lime is a beauty to work with but needs to be treated right. It is like owning a newborn gremlin. Midnight waterings, must be mixed with the exact amount of water, can't be over worked etc.
The forum is great and I will keep you updated on Any new methods I come up with. Take a look at the perlite/lime thread for a method to insulate lime plaster without affecting the properties of the lime. Any tips and help will be accepted and I will of course be helping out if I can.
