Plaster party

The work party went great. It was extremely hot weather though. The
scary part is that with a group of people working a full day we still
didn't quite finish one wall. There is an amazing amount of work to
do, but I still think plastering is fun, and satisfying. We tried a
cement mixer for making the plaster and that does not work. We rented
a mortar mixer and it does a great job of thoroughly mixing the adobe.
We see that we need to buy a used one and then sell when we are done,
because it's going to take a long time to finish. I will also be
making adobe for the earth floor, and don't forget the inside walls.
