Plastering

We made heart shapes in the cement after we mixed the cement with a turnip-shaped flat iron and threw it at the wall. First, we piled cement on the flat iron that was 20 centimeters wide and 1 meter long, and then began to plaster the wall, starting from the bottom and gradually going up. When it was halfway dry, we drew circles and made the surface smooth. These were the key procedures in the work of plastering.
