Restoring 17th Century Tudor House
This 17th Century Tudor House built at about 1610 is being beautifully restored using the same original materials (ie sand, lime & horse hair)
In the first photo the original Lime Render was damaged and had to be removed so exposing the wooden laths. The next 2 photos show the base coats of Lime Render that have been "keyed" in preparation for the final coat.
The last two photos show a nice rendered finish.
