Finishing Coat...

Applying the ceiling coat...

It's messy work putting the finish coat on a ceiling!  What happens is that a finer grade of cement is mixed, and this is "thrown" from the trowel to stick to the ceiling - where, if you are lucky (or "practiced" as in "Thom"s case above ;) ), you don't get too much in your hair.  As it dries out - two workers will scape it section by section with a longer board, which leaves a wonderfully smooth finish coat.  Above, the front hall ceiling of the orphanage gets a smooth ceiling..  As you read this - the outside of the orphanage building is getting its finish coat as well - so pictures of that to follow...
