Hi rfeiller

my duckweed dam was covered with black plastic under thick shade netting
grew ok under those condition....

[francois]

[francois]

took out the grass and leveled.
plasterd four stips to help with my plastering.
these strips all inline and vertical ....
run my straight edge on hardened cement strips...hope to end with straight wall...?

[francois]

Started plastering today...I went to thin on the plaster
Learnt a few things today
Tomorrow should be better
I think I will paint this with white cement....rough finish

[francois]

Hi All
I finished off the one outside wall today.
Learned from yesterday and getting better at this.
Yesterday I had to make a business decision and I will have to leave for Pretoria on next Tuesday...
Will be working there for 20 days…
I want to do most of the building work before I go.
This puts me back as far as my system is concerned……

Today I spent the whole day plastering the outside of the other wall and
then bagging the inside of the two walls. Back breaking work but now it is done.

[francois]

I started plastering and finishing of the tops of walls today.
Looks ok even a little overhang.
This building of my system from foundations to finish has taught me a few things…..and a sore back and hands
But almost there….tops and ends to finish.
The ends I will do after I have had my two bottom trays in place to see what will work the best.
I don’t want to build totally closed for access and maintenance.

This morning I tried my two bottom duckweed trays.
