Yes it was on YouTube but it was mostly an interior design job and I was asking about external cement or lime render job. I deem to think now that venetian external house are done in lime mortar with colouring in that are porous due to the houses being near the lagoon. I even felt the new render was a crumbling ones but adhered well.
