Shower is getting the tadelakt treatment. So many hours going into this project, but I think it will be worth it when this is finally cured in two months.

This house looks like a dreamhouse to me. You must have had a great time building this all yourself. And now an even greater time living in it as a family.

What an awesome build love it.

My Signature for the last few years was "just spinning wheels," but after our PDC at Pauls Place this summer I feel like we are finally catching traction. Hope to be threading some more. got a roof on our house, swales dug, and finally starting to work on our plan in more details.

Hi Daniel and LUCKY family! The word, tadelakt, and the pics of course, peaked my interest. Where did you learn of and get enough info to do this process? How long did it actually take? Is there a lot of wait time between coats? What is it that makes the project long?

Found another project.

http://www.naturallimeplaster.ca/content/lime-plaster-sustainable-authentic-tadelakt-1

I like yours. I also read that it is used to actually make sinks, ... .

Is there any concern about differential cracking between the tub and the tadelakt surfaces? What is the wall surface/on the wall to the left of the tub - is that a straw bale wall/coated?
