Covering the whole dome!

    After a season plastering the exterior, mostly 1 day a week, we have come to the end days of exterior plaster with only a few tiny spots remaining exposed. Remember, the dome was closed on Spring Equinox, the whole dome was started on Winter Solstice, and we aim to complete the exterior plaster (minus touch ups and paint) by Summer Solstice, to begin interior plaster and floors!

A look back at the plans/ concept art

The whole dome was covered last week!


This week we started on the entrance arch/ vault exterior plaster.
We crushed the first side pretty quick. 
A few spots of bag still show through!
A well deserved break during plastering.
Solid!
The glare doesn't change the fact that its a good plastering job!

Finally plastering the arch steps.
A ways to go, but a long way we've come!
