We had an especially mild fall this year. We didn’t get a hard frost until at least late October, or even early November. It was bone dry for weeks on end and the daytime temps were delightfully mild. Normally, when late fall lands this place turns into a cool, muddy swamp — not usually the most inspiring conditions for outdoor work, you know? Instead, the building season was graciously extended by a few precious weeks.
I decided to take advantage of this dry, mild window to make some progress on the pavilion plaster work. This felt like a big treat at the end of a busy year. I’ve been doing so much carpentry work the last two years that this recent opportunity to throw up some lath and plaster walls brought me some real joy.
