Walls ready for render

It looks like a vast steel blanket, made of galvanized mesh, interwoven with cardboard and plastic. The "Rendalath" - clearly a brainwave of some building material company's newly-appointed marketing executive - is now ready to take the K-Rend pre-coloured silicone-based concrete. It's been ready for the last few days, however, the architect, builder and render team have been in deep discussion, thrashing out the final details before smearing the stuff in glorious white paste. They're taking no chances, as they realise the client will accept no shortcuts or badly integrated design features.
