Finally a sunny day!! When the sun came up, Massey decided it was time to work on the once tarp-covered roof, an eagerly awaited project for her. We precariously climbed up on the roof, as I (Maddy) was holding on for dear life, Emily and Massey were jumping around, fitting into nooks and comfortable positions to fasten chicken wire onto the exposed part of Massey's roof. Massey wanted to keep thebamboo in one corner of her roof exposed from the bottom, in order to use as a teaching tool for natural builders learning about the uses of bamboo. She also wanted the outer edge of her roof without plaster in order to make a skylight with glass bottles, one of the many creative attributes of natural buildings.
Here is the bamboo-roof from below, awaiting plaster.
After stuffing the roof with a dryer, clay-based plater, Emily and I stopped for lunch, and when we returned, we split up into two different projects. We first mixed more plaster with lime in order to do finishing work. I kept working on Massey's pod by doing more finishing, architectural work inside while Emily worked on making a more noticeable difference between the ceiling and the wall inside Lindsay's unit.
