Graveyard shift closing down this earthen floor. Craft is caring a lot about what you do, and sometimes that is inconvenient. I’m loving this Euro for the floor topcoat. .earth.building and I put down quite a bit of it in the last couple days and it’s been lovely.

Natural curves and soft textures down regulate our nervous system. Natural clay walls regulate moisture, balance humidity and build a sense of wellbeing. They also turn your largest indoor surface areas into air cleaning units instead of toxic off gassing machines. The choice is really obvious once you know what the choices are.

This is just a friendly reminder not to paint over your old lime plastered walls/brick and masonry surfaces. Conventional paints trap moisture inside these naturally dynamic materials causing damp, degradation, spalling and general bummer. We’ve got lots of beautiful old buildings here in Spokane, and we’d be happy to help you maintain or freshen them up.
Natural plasters or limewashing can refresh and protect these walls while allowing them to breathe. And if you’re wanting to repoint your brick, let’s make sure the mortar is softer than the masonry, so it can fulfill its job as a sacrificial layer.

and If your building is already covered in latex paint, don’t worry, there are ways to carefully remove that.

The is always such a treat. This was the fifth year i’ve been able to go and the third that my family has joined me. Getting a big group of fervently passionate individuals together for a week to geek out about their shared passions, pass on findings and experiences, brainstorm on curiosities, work together and just love on each other: it’s a big deal. My son and wife felt especially at home this year and my son even got to help fascilitate the which he greatly enjoyed. So much Appreciation to and for conceiving and spearheading this event, to for facilitating so beautifully, , .plaster, , , .build, and the whole gang for sharing expertise and joy.
Times like this feel like bellows on the soul’s coals. And I think we all feel the drive to keep blowing on those embers in our respective day to day rhythms and interactions, cultivating more community interconnectedness and more curiosity in the rest of our year. Here’s to that!

Family affair today, had my dad and brother and nephew in the mix setting some earthen floor.

I distinctly remember my dad talking about earthen floors and composting toilets when I was a young kid, and how everyone would just love to tease him for it. We never had either growing up, but it’s been fun to teach him some of his old arm chair obsessions.

Pretty rough, earthen sub base on this one, feeling good about the meshed brown coat approach followed by a thin finish.

great week working with down in tri cities. lots of colors and textures of on the inside of this little house. The client has designed the house as a means of managing a pretty challenging mold/chemical sensitivity, and these finishes play a role in creating a healthy space as well as a beautiful one.
Nice to play with some fun muds with a sweet team!

Fresh corduroy for the key cote in prep for the walls and shower in this bathroom. And got started on the lime meta base.

Be part of a team building healthy homes from the ground up and applying natural plaster finishes. Building experience is a plus, but can train on job.
