Doing a lime wash over a lime plaster

Hey y’all, just thought I’d share with you my technique of applying a lime wash over lime plaster to give it the final color and protection from water. It’s a super satisfying part of the building process to put the final touches on a cobin. There are also limestone sealers that can be applied over the lime wash for added protection, however I have never seen the need for it. A couple coats of lime wash should do the trick. You can use regular Type S lime as hydraulic lime is hard to get now.
