Title: making hacienda
Post by: duhamel on May 28, 2009, 02:14:25 PM

Further to numerous demands, I decided to build a Mexican hacienda only for you (and just a little for me).
I put photos which will be better that explanations (in bad in English) if you have questions rest(pose) but most simply possible I shall answer it with enjoyment thank you

Looking good! That's an excellent start - I can't wait to see it finished! The step-by-step photos are also very useful for those of us who are thinking of something similar.
Very, very nice!

Un gros merci pour le step-by-step, mon ami! Félicitations. Toute un apprentissage en construction pour les jeux, cela me permet de commencer, un jour, mon propre projet de Jardin Classique Chinois du dynaste Ming. Il y a beaucoup en commun parmi les techniques et les matériaux entre les deux projets.
C'est quoi, enfin, le produit tu tartines sur les mures? C'est pour réparer les murs en gypse?

Wow. Super step-by-step, buddy! This is much of what I need to consider for my Ming Dynasty Garden project (should I ever get around to it ::)) So many materials and techniques in common.

BTW, it sure is great to meet and learn from so many talented bilingual people here. What a cool place this is.

Title: Re: making hacienda
Post by: white knight on May 28, 2009, 09:07:53 PM

Magnifique. Je pense que ce rebouche-crack s'appelle polyfilla ici (en tout cas, c'est ce que j'ai utilisé sur une maison style "adobe") et "spackle" en anglais.

Est-ce que tu utilises des photos de références comme inspiration ou la disposition des différentes parties de l'hacienda sort tout droit de ton imagination?

Et quel est le matériel de base que tu utilise pour construire les murs? Et ou trouve tu les toits?

Et... bon je vais m'arrêter et te laisser le temps de répondre à une question ou deux... ;)

1ère : alors oui c'est du truc comme du polyfilla mais en pots plus économiques
2ème : pour l'inspiration, juste 1 dessin dans 1 livre où on ne voit pas grand chose
3ème : c'est du carton plume( je ne sais pas comment on appelle cela en anglais)
4ème : les toits c'est un échantillon qu'un représentant a laissé au patron de ma boutique habituelle et me l'a donné donc je ne peux pas te renseigner

Then yes it is of the trick(thing) as the polyfilla but in more economic jars 2nd: for the inspiration, the just man 1 drawing in 1 book(pound) where we do not see much 3rd: it is some cardboard(box) plucks (I do not know how we call it in English) 4th: roofs it is the sample which a representative left to the boss of my usual shop and thus gave him(it) to me I cannot inform you

That looks really good , I must try some of that thicker foamboard as it look better for that type of building .

The photo illustrates the grip(taking) of a strong Mexican in California 1845 after the expedition(shipping) of the colonnel lieutenant John C Fremont and Kit Carson.

America before 1850 was a small nation  lol and even more before 1800   lol lol lol
