Fully Rendered

Nice weather for the last few days and the render finish coat is on. Fitting the rainwater goods has started; when that's finished a bit of trimming and tidying up and the scaffold can go.

Rendering Started

Base coat and reinforcement mesh applied. Finishing coat to be applied next week, weather permitting. Base coat looks to have a grey/pink tint but top coat will be pure white.
