Adobe house renovation – Rainwater collecting tank

In addition to today's drinking water prices, you wonder twice what you want to water or wash a car, etc.

What you give me is collecting rainwater. Unfortunately there is no gutter, but the 1m3 tank

Its location should be planned well before. Because I did not want the whole picture to ruin a big monster before the house,

So I thought of the veranda as an alternative. There is absolutely nothing in this mind and I can raise it so much that it can be relaxed. The ironic thing is that the plumbing was just below the house, so the concrete was here.

If you have a goose, be fat and I have picked it up slightly more than 1m2 and re-cemented.

The pickup was done in large pieces. I do not like to cut things up :).

Of course, at the edge of the board was the scandalously poor quality of concrete.

A little digging...

I was dumping the old border because the bricks were broken off.

The new border (this will be needed for the concreting shingle).

It was all good (of course the self-sufficiency was "stinky", so I did not say it was excellent). :)

The wall must be insulated from the concrete monstrum if I do not want a thermal bridge in the kitchen.

That was all the remaining nikecell glue.

There was still a left-handed concrete grid that was picked up from the big room :).

Concrete was followed.

She threw nose like duck...

Finally, five and a half concrete mixers had to be put into it ...

There's a lot of hated dishwashing...

Concrete sloping, block bricks waiting for tomorrow...

I've even created a new job: steamy watercress :).

The next day the block bricks will go on. I do not have time to look at the days.

The tank will lift up to three blocks (about 60-65cm).

I filled it with bricks, because there were no blocks...

Finally, the masonry mortar is sold out... Tomorrow comes the concreting of the underfloor heating,

And by then I would have to build a shutter here...

The next day I used a lot of bricks and hungarocells.

A little iron grid in it...

Put some concrete in it...

Next day remove the shutter

Even the bricks of the outer formwork are removed

Then in two weeks the support will be removed :)
