I'm 60 years old. When I was like eight years old in Arizona, My father used what was called white wash, I believe it was pink cement , lime, and bluing. It was a coating we applied to stucco basically gave it a super white color. It also added some strength to the stucco. I believe for the most part we brushed it on with big horse hair brushes, common at the time.

Using the screws as a thickness gauge was a great idea. Man, the wildlife there is awesome. If I was standing inside that structure, I would sure feel better if I knew those mixes were full of a fiber reinforcement. That's a lot of weight overhead. I would be interested to know about how many lbs when you total it all out. Water weight does not reduce as the cement cures. Hope all is well guys, stay warm.

@towerace1238 2 жыл бұрын

imagine is you just framed the house. then staple a cheaper mesh to the framing. spay as harry has done on this dome strait to the mesh. lightly. then spay it again and the second coat will fill in all the mesh holes. then go on the outside and spay a coat on it and smooth or texture outside as needed.there is a guy that uses old Styrofoam ground up done right that stuff is light and would make a great outside coat over the first shell. i think run the electric inside of cheap tubing would be wise. and maybe even water lines if needed. that way wire and tubing and be pulled it will be encased on the inside layers . on the inside just use plaster. layers is the key with layers of cheap mesh..
