Painted wall by kitchen

One thing that jumps out at me is how the wall sort of juts out. I was trying to make a wider window sill to lay stuff on. It added more work as every inch wider a wall is, it means that much more earth to haul, mix, etc.

I've taken to painting my lime pasters on rather than actually making a plaster. It sort of a paint consistency. Prior to this I made a regular plaster with the lime and hand plastered it over the earth but I found this technique to be much faster, use less materials and be just as effective. With the texture of my earth, I have to seal it with something or else there would be dust everywhere. This is just the nature of my local material. Every location is differnt when building with earth. Here I'm not quite finished with the lime painting.

That's a wood burning stove in the corner which is pretty hard to see.
