Adobe house renovation - Continuation of retaining wall ...

The front wall of the house is getting worse. Tops have a 10-15cm bend.

That is why the ratification began last year.

Now the base has certainly come to its place - it was almost a year ago.

The part next to the stairs was covered with bituminous waterproofing layer.

The base and back of the retaining wall will be insulated against the harmful effects of groundwater and soil vapor.

For this, bitumen / tarpaulin, bottom drain plate and drain pipe will be installed.

The first step was to level the base.

The point is that the watertight layer begins over the ground.

As you can see, the bottom edge was down 4-5cm :(.

It was supported by concrete pieces.

It was a little less of the shuttering frames, so I saved them wherever they could.

I started to put it on two sides:

So there was a "small" gap between it:

The hungarocell is capable of remaining miracles :). Problem?

The drain hose should also be driven somewhere.

I'll take the old septic tank out of the bathroom.

Where you can protect the environment, this is the best method of waste recycling :).

The concrete was mixed by hand, which is a tiring job, but the concrete mixer

I can not do it alone ... Then it will be started for the others :).

From a mix of approx. 2-3 concrete was made of concrete.

There have also been some waste of concrete / bricks. The point is they can not get together.

The concrete was mixed with earthworm because it would be more compact and more frost-proof than it was too liquid.

At the end of the line there were 3 shutter + 1 shortage, which I could not finish on Saturday

(I worked in the morning, I was dark at 8).

On Sunday I moved the hungarocell to the end of my sentence:

I did not get it properly because of the tire, so it was a bit wedge, but it does...

The finished work:

Now a few days of watering will take place, and then the bituminous watertight layer can come on.

On Monday, I ran the concrete again and pulled the shutters off.

I weighed the weeds so that we do not have to cut it off because the grass of the grass mushroom cracked ...

I hope the ivy can be eradicated as a plant is very aggressive. (Failed completely.)
