  1. How we Whitewash Our House

    Share Share Post
    First we go to the mountain and pull beasoms[?] of heat. Then we brush the roof, of the house. After that we get a tub of lime. We put hot water on the lime. Then we put a card of blue in on the lime. We mix it with a stick. We take all the furniture out of the house, and put them up to the room. Then we et the white washing brush and white wash all the house. Then we get distemper and white wash the room. We put hot water on it and mix it. We white wash with a brush.
