One of the last things to be done before the plaster is shaving the bales. Justin used Andre's "city" weed-whacker to start, which is a rechargeable battery operated model, but the batteries would be drained way too quickly, so he returnd after the weekend with a propane powered one, which got the task done in no time flat.
The windows and the sills were all masked, using the plastic wrap that came on the ICF forms for the foundation, or the plastic that came on the foam for under the floor slab, again, a re-use of building material scrap. We will hopefully use them one last time when we mask off the windows when we plaster on the exterior.
