17. This batch was mixed with too much water and was spread on plywood and allowed to dry-out in the sun for a couple of hours prior to placement

19. Installation of metal lath

20. This building required the use of metal lath on the exterior due to the wood framing not being encased in Hemcrete. The interior walls did not require metal lath as the Hemcrete material covers the wood framing by four full inches.

21. Re-attach OSB board back over metal lath to keep Hemcrete straight

22. Hemcrete is staged on floor for easy transfer to walls

23. Hemcrete is shoveled in by hand in six inch layers
