Start of repairs on another early 2000s strawbale house with common plaster failures. Quite a bit of delamination of the finish plaster from the base coat, cracking where lath/mesh didn't overlap properly, and missing kickout flashing where sloped roof conditions terminate at a sidewall - causing water to run right into plaster, forming efflorescence (white powdery deposits that have migrated through the the plaster).

Before and after pics of the Terrebonne plaster repair job. Potassium Silicate paint, Also known as water glass, is a v***r permeable mineral paint that fuses to inorganic substrates (lime, clay or cement plaster) and petrifies. This makes it the perfect final coat for these two strawbale houses as all three plasters are present. And the petrification of the clay plaster means rain pelting the outside of the plaster won't cause it to rehydrate and wear away.

Plaster repairs mostly complete on both the main house and ADU. A coat of a breathable mineral-based paint will go on all walls to help blend together the varying repairs and plasters.

Scratch coat up on the NW wall and lot's of other repairs started

Extensive cracking in one wall of this 18yo strawbale house meant the best move was to tear off the old plaster and start from scratch with all of todays best practices. This includes weep screed, casing bead, 2-ply building paper and lath over all wood framing, and welded wire mesh across the entire wall to provide additional crack resistance and shear strength once embedded in lime plaster.

Another Earthen Floor almost complete! The floor will be burnished as it dries, the tiles cleaned up a bit, then the whole floor will be coated with natural polymerizing oils that soak into the floor and harden to create a durable water resistant surface.

Repairs and re-oiling of 18yr old earthen floor. Hardening oils like linseed and tung pe*****te into an earthen floor and polymerize, making it resistant to water and wear. An earthen floor can then be mopped and maintained much like a wood floor.

01/11/2025

The plaster has worn away at the base of the walls on this 17 year old straw-bale house. Baseboards were added to protect the plaster from future wear.
