Pouring the last concrete slab + wall
This video covers the last few months of work. During this time, we excavated the material at the entrance to the apartment and poured the slab in the same place. The process was complicated by the hole for the coal that goes into the boiler room, as I had to concrete it in advance. The concrete slab is of course waterproofed from below. We also poured a wall in the kitchen, which was open from the start of construction. It didn't go exactly as planned here, as the form was not supported strongly enough and it tilted slightly during the pouring. It will be possible to hide the defect by grinding and plastering.

I bought a milling machine!
Переглядів 4719 місяців тому
We had this milling machine in our machine shop where I work. Since it was not in use, and there was no operator for it, it was put in storage. Not long ago I discovered that the machine was still in storage and I made an offer to the boss to buy it. He accepted it and the machine was mine. This video shows the installation of the machine in the new workshop. Unfortunately, I can't test the mac...
IT'S FINALLY TAKING SHAPE!!

This video is not so much a film as the others, but rather a collage of shorter videos and especially pictures, all showing the progress on the apartment that happened in the last two months of the year. The reason for the lack of video material is mainly that I wasn't around much when the masons were plastering the apartment. Another reason was that my second GoPro died for no particular reaso...
Expanding the window pt.2
Переглядів 2,3 тис.10 місяців тому
After the window sill and column were finished, the transverse support beam was next. I didn't know exactly how I would go about it, so I just started demolishing it and would see how it would go. Casting a classic concrete beam was not really an option, as I did not have enough thickness available to have the necessary load-bearing capacity. I called an expert for advice, who advised me to emb...
Expanding the window pt.1
Переглядів 2,7 тис.10 місяців тому
This small window is the only source of natural light in this room, so I wanted to expand it. I already knew that some kind of column would have to be poured on the side I was demolishing. On the other side, I just removed the old plaster. When the "pillar" was finished, I poured the window sill. This is made in such a way that it has a step in the place where the window frame will be. So the p...
Concreting of the pillar in the doorway
Переглядів 2,3 тис.10 місяців тому
This doorway between the kitchen and the dining room was quite narrow and needed to be widened. I had previously widened the passage with an electric hammer, but this is also where the problem appeared. In the middle, the wall was very loose and stones and clay started to roll out of it. The only solution was to pour a concrete column in that place, and that's what we did. The column is well re...
Finishing the workshop, leveling the walls and floor and painting.
Переглядів 96210 місяців тому
I was almost in a bit of a hurry with this part of the renovation, because I bought something big and expensive for the workshop and had to get it over here. The walls were leveled with a plaster leveling compound, that filled the gaps and holes, but the walls are not level. In order to achieve the planes, I should have plastered the walls with lime-cement mortar, but due to lack of time and th...

Pasmaters are a HC-punk band from Pula Croatia. The band was formed in 1984, which was followed by a break until the second half of the 90s, when they started playing again. We can also say that after all these years of playing, they clearly haven't gotten tired yet, even though they complain about getting old! ;) - Intro - Hardcore - Foe Template - Crkva - ? - ? - Linea Diritta - Kad Ode Sve -...
Construction of a wall between the garage and the house pt.2
Переглядів 85111 місяців тому
This video shows the construction progress and completion of the wall between the garage and the apartment. Again I placed five rows of blocks and filled it with concrete. For the last row, I drove the reinforcing bars into the ceiling and welded them to the ones that go into the new wall, this way connecting the two together, then I cut the blocks into smaller pieces so that I could assemble t...

The video shows the first part of the construction of the wall between the garage and the apartment. In the bathroom, I had to pour the foundation before building the wall. In this place, I have already installed the water pipes and the drain for the sink in the wall. The wall itself is made of hollow concrete blocks that are dry-stacked together, after which they are filled with concrete. This...
Building one wall and tearing down two others
Переглядів 808Рік тому
In order to demolish the old "concrete" wall, I first had to build a new one next to it, otherwise too much of the ceiling would remain unsupported. The demolishing went as expected, cookie cutter hardness all the way through the wall except for the last little bit which was extremely strong for some reason. I also cut a passage through the brick wall. There will be a corridor connecting the fr...

Road trip through the former Yugoslavia ( part of it )

This is my first vlog I've ever recorded, so don't get excited expecting some high quality. We went on this road trip for the May Day holidays this year, and since we had been talking about visiting Željava airport for a long time, we decided to go through Bosnia. Since we left Idrija in the afternoon, we arrived in Plitvice only late in the evening, had dinner and went to our apartment to slee...
Concrete doorway pt-3

This last step of building this passage almost turned into a disaster! It was necessary to make a transverse supporting concrete beam above the door, and immediately the problem was how to pour the concrete, since the beam is right under the ceiling. My mother suggested that I drill a hole from the top floor down to the door and pour concrete through it. At first I was a little skeptical, but a...
Concrete doorway pt-2

Now that both pillars in the door were finished, I was able to pour a third into the wall. I decided on this method mainly because of the ease of execution, as well as because of the better strengthening of the old and rather loose wall. From the armature in the door post, I drilled some steel rods lengthwise through the wall and welded them together with vertical rod on the other side. I also ...
