[Cob] Limewash/Whitewash and other permeable paint options

[Simon Matthews]

Thanks for your reply,

I am interested to know your reasons for adding the casein to the inside
wash and the manure to the outside wash. I haven't heard of manure being
added to whitewash before.

When you say "touching it up" do you mean a complete repaint or just
patching worn or damaged areas. 

Thanks
Simon
