Sponges are everything

Short build day today because our tools were not doing the job. I was able to get the porthole dog ear cubbies plastered and looking good and the small dome pretty much sealed with the exception of some touch up work and fill some tight spots. (like the back of a Volkswagen)

Raquel stayed in the big dome, covering a decent amount with only 2 bags worth of stucco. We decided to call it a day when the sponges gave out and had zero structure, disintegrating and sticking to the wall as it simultaneously was pulling off stucco. We will get back at it next week with solid tools and materials. I'll finish the small dome and join Raquel in the big dome to crush it. I think we may even need another, bigger ladder! But it was a stormy wonderful day and the god rays were out like crazy! Even a bad build day is a good day in the desert. It was nice to spend the day with Raquel.

Just another day in the Mojave Desert XD

Digital clouds not convincing

Plastering upside down is not easy, neither is chiseling upside down.

Just wait... 

Then you clean it.

Plaster Elf 

Almost impossible to capture the Mojave Plaster Elf in action.

Indeed we are fortunate to witness this.
