earth plastering hand warmer tip

[Mikal Jakubal <mjakubal@asis.com>]

When plastering (or doing any work, for that matter) in cool weather, where
your hands may be covered in cold mud all day, fill a 55-gallon drum with
water and light a fire underneath it for a nice warm hand wash. Even if you
have hot running water on site already, this will keep your sink clean, and
you can recover some good clay slip when it settles out on the bottom.
