Reconstruction of cellar from formwork, backfilling

Since the vaulted cellar had almost collapsed and had to be dug out, I thought I would build a normal cellar instead.
If you already need a staircase, why not a manhole?

It was quite a tiring and tedious job to unload and concretize a lot of formwork.

Every row had to be carved and irons cut, bent ...

There will be a socket here. Now it’s easy to make room for everything.

In retrospect, it would be quite tense to cut out the location of the cables from the concrete ...

Location of a light switch ...

I glued the fitting boxes, cables and protective pipes in place with plaster and only then was they concreted.

The concrete chute was a gutter slightly suspended in the middle with a rebar.

If we don't have to, we don't bucket, do we?

(The rebar was specifically pushed along the 2 folded edges of the gutter, making it much stiffer.)

Néhány helyen össze is lett drótozva, nehogy „szétterüljön” a beton súlya alatt a vékony horganyzott lemez.

If the concrete had to be fed farther, it was raised with a brick so that a flint could fit.

Nice little slide! Only for people over the age of 18 for concreting, or possibly for guinea pigs just like that.

This is where the sewer pipe will go out of the workshop next to the wall.
Unfortunately, I can't drive through the house, so the whole yard has to be dug up ...

The task started to outgrow me, so I had to build a platform to pick up the formwork stones.

The severe "masonry disease" has already appeared on me, the concrete disgastitis is out of the part under the mason's cleavage ...

The protruding part is made to protect the lamps and switches in the wall.

Meanwhile, waterproofing is being done at the bottom of the inner basement.

After the tar paper was loaded, the board-making chute came to light. Later, the interior basement floor quite

it would be difficult to concrete ... In the absence of a slab, it would be much easier. As they say, you make more sense ...

The threshold under the door will be made of bricks, which now act as shutters. The shuttering acts as a weight.

After concreting and smoothing:

After 1-2 weeks of bonding time, I started to fill the gaps next to the walls with soil.

There was something to do...

About 3-5m3 had to be produced back. It wasn't too much fun.

One day approx. I carried 55-60 wheelbarrows of soil. Sore shoulder is not a bad result.

It charges, though not turkey :).

It slowly reaches the level.

I still needed a little waterproofing here.

First requirement,

Tarred paper after 2 days. I thought my eyes were coming out of the smell.

I pushed the air in with a room fan to get to the gas scorcher as well.

This big pile of soil all landed in the basement, which is missing from there.

I tied up the sewer pipe with wires to the iron so that it would not move during filling.

I set the water level carefully to make it good to drop.

It goes out of the house in the line of the old arch. Then you have to dig it out sometime outside because the pipe isn’t going anywhere until then.

The end was taped down so it wouldn’t go full of earth.

One more look at the pipe.

And the cover is made. The ground was rammed at each row, but strictly avoiding the pipe.

I did one last level check here. Fortunately, the tube did not move.

You don't have to level up anymore. I unloaded the expiration with bricks to make it easier to drive with the wheelbarrow.

I made a pallet passage over the basement. It was wedged between the reinforcements, making it atomically safe.

It's good that I brought in that much land that day because

the next day the sky fell...

Even a small gravel paving is needed under the concrete.

Everything was well beaten. Formwork may follow.
