"I would not have missed it for the world... What shone through was the ENTHUSIASM, the WARMTH, and the CARING... whilst the lime story is exciting and challenging and instrumental in earning you a living, which I am sure is most stressful, demanding and draining at times... please do not lose heart. I pray that you will be given the grace to perservere in your quest for lime to play a major part in today's world".

Clay & Dung Daubs
Clay and/or dung based daubs are primarily used now to repair the in-fill panels of timber framed buildings - wattle and daub.
Archaeological evidence shows that this technique has been around since the Neolithic period and it is still widely used today in the Middle East and parts of Africa. Wattle and daub construction is cheap, reasonably weather resistant, and cooling, the limewashed walls can prevent heat penetration in extreme climates, making it ideal for these locations but we recognise it's insulating properties here too in cooler climates.
The daub is applied by hand to wattles which are interwoven branches, lathes, or rods. Daub has a plaster-like consistency and can be mixture of clays, mud, plant fibers, and animal dung. After the daub sets, it is then limewashes to make it more weather resistant.
