Dirt, Manure, Wattle and Daub

So - I didn't really think there were any terrifically interesting pictures of Crimea to post - so we're skipping that and moving on to the Dacha Remont project in pictures. (click to enlarge)

This shows the process - from the state of the wall before -


to the making of the daub - you can see I'm up to my knees in it at one point -

and then the satisfaction of one daubed portion of wall.


Along the way we were helped by Natasha (pink shirt)

Pete - Blue shirt, brown hair

And Iura (blue shirt leaning over Alister at the wall).


We normally had a BBQ each day afterwards and I had promised Pete a Lemon Merengue pie for his Birthday and so it finally materialized during our work as well.
