Gareth was pointing Lidls new carpark wall back in July with lime mortar. I stopped the car quick to ask if he did houses too? several months later he is here to begin to point the walls. He is chasing out the cement put in by builders who didn't understand. why lime is needed to allow a breathability to these lovely thick walls. Cornish Lime, based in Bodmin, are suppling the lime he used to get the magnificent results you can see below. . Choosing paint colours is always tricky. Earthborn clay paints have a limited colour range which makes the job a little easier. The clay based paint is very breathable allowing the walls to again work as they did back in the day when the chapel was built. Obviously the hempcrete ,again breathable, will make the walls much more thermally efficient! Jan at her tallest giving scale to the big doors.
