Hi all;
The way I deal with P/C as an exterior covering has some requirements.
The first is footer heighth..... 16-24" above grade to help with splash.
That area uses a rock or brick facade to take the punishment. The next
is the O-hangs........ 16-24" are a must! Gutters are important for
multiple reasons. Yes, you need to protect the structure...... but in a
post-industrial collapse simple things like water will be fought for...
and are being so now.... LEARN HOW TO CATCH YOUR WATER!! Tweaking the
mix on the final coat does wonders for protecting the skin. Simply put a
dose of lates (discarded paint) in your batch. The chemical reaction
with the lime, ptld' , and clay is phenominal.
The comment regarding the dissolution of our Constitution... is a mere
sign of the time. Amerika the great.... land of bondage.... home of the
cowardly masses. Every person awake to the signs of this day needs to
see the movie "GARBAGE WARRIOR" starring Michael Reynolds. Everyone
awake to the time we are living in needs to make a choice: roll over and
play dead; or pick up the tools for change and make America what it was
intended to be! We allowed and encouraged greed and corruption to carry
us away into conspicuous consumerism "for a bowl of soup". We need to
take it back......... even if that means we just build lifeboats (Arks)
to get through to the other side. Those who wait for the smoke and dust
to settle will surely inherit a new earth.
just a
thought............... Bob
