In order to excavate trench for the main sewer pipe which connects the building with the cesspool we had to call for a serious mechanism. The pipe comes out of the building at a depth of 1.4 m and further down towards the cesspool to a depth of 1.6 m. A long time ago some other buildings used to stay on the part of the land which the pipeline passes through. These buildings were removed over time, but solid stone foundations were left in the ground. Fortunately, this complication did not surprise the excavator operator and he honestly coped with...

After deepening the cellar space to the required depth, we dug out trenches, which we filled-up with 0-4 fraction backfill sand. We have then laid sewer pipeline in the sand. This pipeline is designated to serve technical room which will be established in this space over time. The main sewer pipe which drains the sewage from the entire building also passes under the technical room. A floor drain was planned to be placed in the middle of technical room floor. We installed this floor drain into its final position using dry concrete and connected it to the sewer pipeline pipe....

Work on the sewer connection has started. We must build a cesspool on the land and divert the waste from the building to this cesspool with a new sewer pipe. The original sewer pipe made of cast-iron pipes is in an emergency state and flows into the tripod. This solution is unsatisfactory in several respects. As a first thing, we built a passage for new sewer pipe under the foundations of the building. We made a reinforced concrete lintel above the passage pipe to protect the pipeline from possible settling of the foundation. We placed one more passage pipe on...

We are fully aware that we are losing almost perfect interior for shooting a B class horror movie, but the situation is relentless. In the part of the cellar which is usable we have to remove the partition wall and deepen the whole space so that it can be utilized for establishing a technical room. Furthermore, the main sewer pipes will lead below this room out of the building. We first removed the partition wall. Then we broke the original floor and carried all the rubble out. Subsequently we started to deepen the cellar. Tons of soil laboriously mined and wheelbarrow...

Since we decided to fill up the part of the cellar that was in disrepair, we had to fill the door leading to that part of the cellar with concrete filling. We made the formwork and pulled out the mixer. This way we added one of the inherent ingredients to Saturday's village mood. Besides tireless circular saw whirling, urgent rooster screams, and riotous dogs barking it is, of course, tenderly hypnotic mixer rattling. The concrete is already maturing…
