Adobe house renovation – Retaining walling 2

On the last day of April 2016 (Saturday) the weather was again favorable, so in the afternoon I started to concretize the retaining wall.

The day before the first row was leveled. I put the 3 pallet shutter pieces at the beginning of the week.

I did not want to ruin the car with the delivery of so many shutters, and there was much to be done with it.

The truck with the crane got it up and done :).

I laid a line in advance, leveled it up (I did not use tile / tiles and saw blade pieces).

Recycling forever :).

To support, I mixed a small masonry mortar to make it easier to level it up.

In principle, every second line should be ironing, but I have overdetermination default, so every line will be :).

Since steel strength is used in reinforced concrete, the additional reinforcement must be on the outside.

Then came the second row...

The side wall was set with a minimal incline, but the front was vertical (this can be the wall of the carriage even later).

It had to be laid down properly here...

There were all kinds of tools: water meter, rubber hammer, masonry hammer and spoon...

The weather was interrupted, so the wall was covered in the mortar protection.

After removing the foil, I extracted the rest of the line and started concreting.

It's not that funny anymore, because it's slow enough to go with it ...

It was not easy for the concrete mixer either to get out of the house down the stairs, but rather to mix it by hand ...

Here vertical tiles are even longer (2-3 rows overlap should be enough).

The closed profile had to be a lever because one of the concrete was half a cent in the wrong place and bent.

To the back part I could only tilt the concrete with buckets, because there is no space for the wheelbarrow because of the hill.

The concrete mixer still life, along with the sloping shutter.

And still bucket ...

In the second row there are 2 threads of concrete reinforced, which is sure...

The concrete compacting tool (tile truss). There can not be left an empty, enclosed part anywhere.

The wheelbarrow is already here :).

A bit of support for the row-breaker:

The end of the day (it is dark after eight o'clock) ... Even the water was drenched by the water :).

The next day the same thing is clear:
