Putting in round windows

I realize that this is a finishing phase of the building process that few of you are actually able to apply currently but I thought you might it interesting. It’s nice to have wooden shutters because you can have the windows completely open during the day without a screen and then close them at night when the mosquitoes are active. The color you see on the outside is a Lime wash with a green iron oxide added and also a brown oxide on the inside. It is a clay paint made up of equal parts flour paste, very fine sand, clay and oxide for color.

I also added a little bit of peppermint essential oil for a nice subtle fragrance and also to help keep insects out of the structure. We’ll see if it helps.
