If we are in an increasingly
virtual, it is nonetheless true that part of our lives (its decoration)
is real.
Our
environment, we create (our work), will last:
For my own (hopefully), it will take at least three generations. The
children of our children will now see the world (in part), as we have
created.
Our civilization is of Romanesque origin and with regard to traditional
masons (rustic), the novel has continued through the first few years of
this century. If the builders of our campaigns have continued to build
novel, the result has changed, mainly due to the use of "artificial
cement" (invented at the end of the last century and widely used since
1918, the war had killed men who dealing with lime kilns).
For 50 years, the world has become a blue-grey.
It
was after the 1973 crisis that customers requested else, but what?
We just
tried everything in the past few years, a consensus has emerged:
-- Whenever
we can be found in front of a house restored, tinted joints, slightly
scratched and dug releasing the design of the stone, on a yellow brakes
and telling children: "Look how beautiful it is."
It seems
that we are conditioned (*) to assess the novel:
This new
way to match the color of the stones, a model for future generations:
when they pick up the rocks in the land they cleared, there were lots
of different colors in the truck and in their departure, they sought "
harmony.
--
THAT IS WORKER WHO GOES TO WORK.
Then they
became expert in the stone, abandoning color. After a few centuries,
having délitée lime (the mortar powder becomes
older and under the weight of construction, it escapes through the
holes between the stones), there have been air currents in homes ,
where plaster (**).
Still, the model that we like, it was there ...
With the mortar of lime
(***), we can do what we want.
It's like a
clay, a glue that becomes almost invariably love with the medium in
which it is applied. It is known to the dyes in (iron oxides,
water-soluble and lime keep in its small arms tight after
crystallization). Course, it could be manufactured Greek, Roman, Gothic
or others, but nobody request.
Technical
If
modern life requires that we spent hours in front of the office, it
does need to be that the body exult,
Equipment
required: a small cement mixer, two wheelbarrows, a shovel, a trowel, a
taloche a sandbox (grain 0-4) and an ugly wall ...
* The brain anticipates what he will see, we too, "the old"
we have taken by the hand to show us the beautiful stones!
** Surfaces were talochées with taloche poplar>
smooth> condensation> micro-erosion> scraping
mortar is a gesture which most of the aspect> fashion recent
color lime plaster scratched country ...
*** Bastard: mixing cement and lime in a report 25 to 40%, lime keeps
his qualities and becomes harder.
