@josephinejo44 Ай бұрын

Not in my country probably😅 an engineer has to calculate exactly how much steel has to be put in which position in the concrete and the concrete itself has some regulations itself aswell. I don't know what kind of weight will be put onto the new wall but as someone who works in exactly this kind of engineerig office I can tell you that an engineer would put a lot of effort into these calculations because it sometimes is not as easy as it seems to calculate the new weight distribution in very old structures😊

I would recommend getting a pair of IBC totes to store water in. They can be connected together by their outflow valve and loaded in from the top. Set them about 4 feet off the ground and you have gravity feed power. They hold about 320 gallons each and can be found pretty cheap. You just need to find one that was used by the food industry. Typical ones are ones that held syrup. We pay about $60-80 each. Paint them black to prevent algae buildup and you can use them in conjunction with a filter system and you can send water into your chateau.

@marcbloch1963 Ай бұрын

That concrete mixture is waaay too wet. Too much water added to the mix means that excess water is retained inside the concrete after the curing process has finished. This will often result in the formation of small cracks as the water eventually evaporates over time, which reduces the compressive strength of the concrete.
