    just how thick is that wall?

    • @MyFrenchCottage
      @MyFrenchCottage  Месяц назад +2

      The original wall was more than 1 meter thick (approximately 3 feet 3 inches if you live beyound the Channel). The wall collapsed (as described in episode 2). Inside the house, a cement coating helped hold the stones at the back in place. I rebuilt the wall with 15 cm (6-inch-thick) concrete blocks and added 25 cm (10 inches) of stone masonry, for a total thickness of 40 cm (16 inches approximately).

    • @MyFrenchCottage
      @MyFrenchCottage  Месяц назад +2

      For the reconstruction, I reused stones from the fallen wall (Ep 02). I used lime mortar, allowing the wall to breathe. The window stones are locally sourced blue granite. I used concrete blocks inside the wall so concrete is invisible and the wall is strong.
