Here comes another update on building a bathroom from scratch series in project home remodeling. The thing is - the house we got didn't pamper us a lot, and so for example I had to install new supporting beams, not to speak about changing a roof, prior to before ever dreaming about having a bathroom. OK, I had a vision about a bathroom once we replaced roof…
It has been a little bit more than a year, since we started to manage and rebuild our rural country house. For the first year we had no water here. Few days ago we drilled a bore hole, and one of the next major tasks is to build a bathroom.
Again, it will take a lot of time and a lot of investment. Bathroom will be built from scratch in the most damaged part of the house, it will involve building new outer wall and of course drawing in water supply. For more than 120 years this house hadn't featured such extra as a water. Let's change that. And we will start with concreting upper part of a stone wall. Some time ago we took the old chimney down and now we can proceed.
Preparation works before concreting
Today I will concrete just one (right side) wall of this huge stone wall. There is installed a temporary deck, as we used it last year on roof works.

In the background you can see doors to the loft room I repaired a while ago
Cleaning upper part of stone wall before concreting
I need to concrete this part, so I can install bearing beams and supportive beams, and then we will continue to installing new outer walls (later on that)
Rotten walls and crumbled wall stone
Concrete mixture
Those mixtures can do amazing things. See how I plastered kitchen walls with a plaster mixture
The result
After a few hours and 3 sacks of concrete mixture the upper part of concrete has been done. I will add more concrete a few days latter and then we will proceed actually installing beams.
