20-22 Jul 2012 cont...Luckily the bitumenosa dried in super quick time so that Dave and Zaida could get the bitumen on.
As soon as the bitumen was in place I had finished all the green cane we'd cut on Friday so got straight on with painting the bitumen white. This first layer is watered down about 50%. It dried almost immediately so I could do a second layer (less watered down) and a third layer (even less watered down). It'll need one more layer I think and I might do another coat on the rest of the roof while I'm at it.
While I was doing that Dave and Ovando started preparing the cement for the inner wall footings and Zaida did some more can infilling as well as helping when needed.
A big thank you to Zaida and Ovando. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and that it's helped you with your future earthship projects.
