To Whom It May Concern:=20

My name is Inger Boerema, and I am a year 12 student at the Mt Barker =
Waldorf School in South Australia. As part of our school's curriculum, =
we are required to take on a project of our own choice, that we study, =
create, build, explore etc in our own time. At the end of August/ =
September, we must have finished our project, completed a thesis =
explaining what we have done, the different processes we went through, =
and what we have learnt from the experiences, and also give a 45 minute =
speech to about 300 or so people.=20

For my project, I have decided to build a walled creative garden for the =
children of the Willunga Waldorf School. The material that I chose to =
use, was cob, as its sculptural and organic quality appealed to me, and =
fitted in with the overall "feel" I wanted to achieve in my garden.=20

At this stage, I have completed my wall, and am in the process of =
looking for a suitable render that will give it sufficient protection =
from the weather, as well as maintain a natural "earthy" appearance. I =
am aware that cement renders should not be used on earth constructions, =
so I have been looking at different alternatives that (preferably) do =
not require constant maintenance. I originally thought that I would use =
a lime based render, but have been told by some that it is unsuitable =
for out door and unprotected walls, and by others that it is achievable. =
I am writing to you on the hope that you may have some suggestions in =
regards to a suitable render, for as I am running out of time, I am =
anxious to find something that will sufficiently protect my wall!=20

Thankyou for taking the time to read my letter,=20

Yours Sincerely,

Inger Boerema.
