Roughcast

Okay kiddo, imagine you want to make a house look nice, but the walls are all bumpy and lumpy. That's where roughcast comes in! It's a special material that can be put on walls to make them smooth and pretty.

But wait, there's more! Roughcast also helps protect the walls from things like rain and wind. It's like wearing a raincoat for your house!

Here's how it works: First, workers spread the roughcast on the wall. It's kind of like spreading frosting on a cake, but not as yummy. Then, they use special tools to make the roughcast look all pretty and decorative.

The best part? There are lots of different colors and textures of roughcast, so you can choose the one that looks just right for your house.

So there you have it, kiddo. Roughcast is like a fancy raincoat for your house that makes it look nice and protects it from the weather.
