After attending the PDC & ATC here at Wheaton Labs, I was enjoying myself so much that I decided to stick around and test the thermal inertia this winter in Allerton Abbey. In the meantime, I’ve been participating in the boot camp and helping to finish my new winter home! I’ve been a boot for nearly a month now, and I finally got a phone I can take pictures with. Today I worked on the outside finish plaster.

So awesome!!! I'm so glad someone will be testing the wofati! And it sounds like a better place than butting heads with family members. Those are beautiful pictures too. Hope to hear about lots of invigorating conversations and discoveries at the lab.

More exterior finish plastering at the Abbey today. This horse manure finish plaster is much finer than the stuff we used inside, which was made with sifted straw.
