How I wintered foundation?
In March, the thaw began. I came to clear the snow from the foundation. Excess water and daily cycles of freeze-thawing of wet concrete - is its premature aging. Its surface is treated hydrophobizator though, but anyway, it is better to remove the snow.
The foundation was not loaded for frost heaving is a lightweight design. Particularly dangerous localized swelling under the foundation.
Late for a day. Before that was a very warm day and the foundation was covered with a crust of ice. How I could - cleared from snow and ice.
When the stones are wet decorative surface - texture can be seen more clearly. After varnishing the stone will look something like this.
The snow melted almost completely. I examined the foundation. Everything is good. The only thing - is beginning to peel waterproofing mastic tape foundation, because I covered not by the technology - without bitumen primer.
For hedging and reduce the amount of frost baking around the basement to do the drainage system. To explore and choose the design. Who can advise something? Which design pay attention to?
The bath was not without minor afflictions.
For some reason this winter, four years after the second coat has decided to begin to peel paint. It can be cold so influenced? Or approached life cover? While on the terrace there was no snow and water from melting it. Probably it has low adhesion to the lower layer.
A similar situation and with a handrail.
Ideally, you need it all cleaned grinder with paddle and cover again. And it is better to make a brushed wooden surfaces (choose soft fibers). Surface relief type and gain after coating azure - Dual Tone will tint. And then again varnished. This will do a separate article.
Type of wood treated nozzle (selected fibers) and coated azure. The principle of such surfaces on the tree I was already familiar.
This part of the decorative surface on the pile is destroyed for the second year. Frost heave. Pile stand still and flat slate lifts. Need to do some "shirt" obvorachivat pile, and then apply it on tile adhesive and pebbles. What would pile is not in contact with the decorative veneer layer.
In the description of the channel, I said that I will show my mistakes. Where do without them? Here is one example.
