There is a background section with brick and frame tenement structures. Good info.

I was very interested in seeing your build, but this article seems to be fading away. Rich Hi Rich, I've been working on the second building but with 52 window and door openings and my messed up hands progress has been slow. They're all cut out now and I started to stucco the upper walls. I don't much like "workbench" photos but here are a few showing where it's at. It's weird, the gesso reacted to the chipboard walls and turned pink! Karl O. Berkley, MI Country: | Posts: 1951 AVRR-PA Fireman Premium Member Posted - 04/18/2013 :  10:30:19 AM       Thanks for the update, Karl. It's good to hear from you. That panoramic shot of your work area is amazing! Keep on keepin' on, as best you can. Don Country: USA | Posts: 5005 jatravia Fireman Premium Member Posted - 04/18/2013 :  2:07:36 PM     Okay Karl, teach me ... I see crackle paste and sandable hard gesso - do you use them together for your stucco? How? Thanks!!!

Paint will surely cover them up. Karl S. Country: | Posts: 6866 wesleybeks Fireman Posted - 04/25/2013 :  03:31:47 AM     More fine progress Karl.

The crackle has to be at least 1/8" thick for it to crack and I was messing around with it to use for sidewalks. Here's a sample of what it does. Karl O. Berkley, MI Country: | Posts: 1951 MSIGMON Engine Wiper Posted - 04/25/2013 :  4:48:40 PM     Karl, Good to see you back at it again! Are you having Monster cut the windows out of the brick walls? You are right I think Jimmy's stuff is right on & no hydocal dust & sanding to get the walls square Mike Sigmon Jacksonville, Fl MSIGMON Country: USA | Posts: 131 R.BOUDREAUX Fireman Posted - 05/01/2013 :  8:04:01 PM     Karl, Is this Gesso carvable? How long does it take to set up? Just curious. I bought a can of it this last weekend, but have not used it. Hope all is better with you and your hands.
