22nd Sept Tue: No more rending, please god

I planned to reskim the walls to get the finish nice and smooth, which meant digging down all along them.... again. I want to die
I'm doing my best not to think of this little wall as a toilet bowl, but it inspires the mind. Whatever it is, it's the reason that tree is still there and alive, and I built it just so we could keep it; although, rendering and painting behind it is extra annoying. It's taken a lot of effort to keep it there when the mini digging could have ripped it up. Anyway, the finish I left on the wall isn't smooth. To make rendering it easier, I used the diamond disc to saw off all the high spots on the brickwork


It begins, but shortly ended after I discovered reskimming the walls was almost as hard as the first coat. I kept picking up 'little bits of shit' (thanks derick) that would tear the finish apart. I wasn't too sure where they were coming from, but decided they were so much effort to avoid I'd the the trowel in once I'd done behind the tree and the little wall around it
