Ferro-cement basically consists of a rebar, remesh and lathing frame, stuccoed with concrete. The concrete mix we use is 3 fine sand, 1 cement, and a little waterproofing additive. On each side, we do a scratch coat (fairly dry), then a brown coat, and finally a cement and fiber coat, all of which are now finished. Even the 4 windows are in.
We still have to paint them and silicon the window/concrete join, but that won't even take a day.
Next week we start work on the north and east walls.

That would be a lot of work to do.
