Adobe house renovation – Living room wall replacement

Unfortunately, the firewall wall was "slightly" tilted, due to the sinking of the old retaining wall. It had an 8cm bend.

Since this will be the bedroom I thought it would be better if it was also replaced. The windows around the window are still clean

it was black mold because it was plastered with polystyrene sheets, which completely sealed the board and the wall.

Allergy is not good for something like that, and it is not healthy anyway.

The bottom of the wall was full of soaking (since there was a horde of land when I bought it).

The bridge over the window was in bad shape. The mosquito and the mold munched on it alternately.

Stretching mountains and cracks everywhere. The plaster covered it well.

Stretching mountains (what was it?)

The iron tooth of time chewed everything ... It was 50-60 years ago ...(Blight, pierced beam)

and the debris just gains weight ...

It contains traces of adobe brick inside.

This is not the secret of a long life. (black mold)

Not even the dust cloud ...

This is how the picking mountains become debris mountains.

Made of reinforced concrete ...

That's enough for today. Wall covered because the house cannot stay open.

The next day the wall and debris continued to run out.

This will be the new window. (It's exterior brown too, so as not to spoil the street view).

The trench is being made.

Of course an old gas pipe is in the way ...

Polystyrene formwork on schedule, with external drainage plate as before.

So much for the outside concrete slab.

A lot of concrete was needed here.

Finally, after a long stroke, he didn't want to purr, so that was his final state.

Nothing special from a distance.

After the concrete had set, an excess of polystyrene was cut off and lubricated with bitumen.

It's just nicer ...

I melted the tar paper (I also roasted the insulation a bit ...)

First line trying in place ...

Leveling with mortar.

The position of the stretched cord is measured to the roof, so the wall is exactly where it should be.

Not too bad :).

The wall is gaining weight ...

One more line ...

Unfortunately, that's where the suffering goes, because I can't lift my injured shoulder very much ...

Ladder is no better ...

I'll just reached the level ...

Comes up the level to the bridgehead. Fortunately, there is no load on this wall

(this doesn't hold the roof) so 2pcs of 15cm beam will do ...

The beams were secured with a snap fastener to prevent them from moving before setting the adhesive.

The bricklaying continued in a few days later:

It was a great pleasure to lift the bricks off the ladder ...

Then the window was installed, which was also hard:

So it has a house shape :).
