Below, a summary of the week of August 23rd, which was mostly spent working on the exterior brown coat (the second coat of plaster) for the house.

"I'm tired, but oh my god, this is so cool! It's so much prettier than the scratch coat!"

"Oh my god I am so tired!"

"But it really is looking pretty!"

"THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO, WILL THIS EVER END?!"

"Okay, here we go—one wall left."

"Thank god it's the weekend! We can work together!"

The brown coat on the outside of the house is finished!
