Wrote on sezam: "did anyone notice how the YA units are often 'found in an encirclement' " so to avoid anyone getting an idea that they may be surrounded?".
Actually I was away from the forum a whole month, because "I was engaged in architecture (mortar, concrete, spade, planks), and guys from the office sold "my" vga monitor and card, and comforted me with a dead hercules, so I was away a whole month until I got that replaced".
"In Novi four guys pushed a car through the red light, naked. The license plates weren't seen, but what should be seen, was".
The construction work... We built the gables, front and rear. Twice. The roof being in place now, and the upstairs walls built only up to the serklaž aka wreath on the sides, and none in the front and back, we needed to close that now. The walls, up to the upper ceiling level, we ran 30cm thick just like downstairs, and then above that only 15, this'll be the attic, this is just a windshield. That part we did back in may, when the carpenters finished the roof, and before the tiles were laid (v. 23-V-1991.).
And then once, now or in october, a strong enough wind blew, probably a košava, and tipped the gable inwards. The cement mortar at 3:1 that I used held firmly, five or six blocks stayed together after falling, even from a five meters height. But that wasn't enough.
We brought enough of larger blocks, and built it from scratch, this time 25cm thick, and the sloped edges, snug to the beam, I propped with a long plank and several shorter slats wedged against the next beam.
A week later the rear gable also fell, a west wind blew. So we did the same again. Holds even today.
