Unfortunately, because of the nature of the beast, it is something that needs to be done all in one go, because if you stop for more than an hour the end result is patchy. As we are hoping we can leave that wall "au natural" it means that patches are not an option, and once he started, there was no way Stéphane could stop.
I made a movie of it, but luckily it isn't 12 hours long.
This morning, the wall looks like this, and should continue drying out for the next couple of months until it is almost pure white. You can see how wet the chaux/chanvre mix is by how much moisture has leeched into the staircase.

Leon. Far too tired to consider putting bubbles into the system! We had a Laphroig.
Great film - great wall !!
How much more work is there to be done in that area? - I was wondering about when you could spruce up your staircase.
(word verif. is "messes"!)
Jean - as ever, I think the answer is "more than we expect". we have to paint the ceiling and stuff, but we also have to do the first flight. That will make mosre "messes" to be trodden through the house,
wv is snesi, which is what messes make me
You're going to be so bored when it's all finished...you might have to start all over again?
