Plaster

Plastering, sometimes called "smearing", is the technique of applying mud to the walls and floors. Plastering is completed once a year. The plaster adds a layer of protection against the wind and rain.

A mixture of mud and water is the basic components for the plaster. In many cases it was stated that the mud was gathered from a place off site. This was mainly done to have a specific or unique color.

The task of plastering is done once a year in order to protect the structure from sun and wind but mainly the rain. Water hitting a mud surface has a great impact on the structure. Walls, floors and verandahs all receive a fresh coat of plaster.
