House Ties

Red painted area is the crack with the wall tie inserted horizontally

These delightful pictures are of our cracked walls.  For two days last week we had two builders here.  They chipped off the plaster, drilled out the mortar, inserted stainless steel wall ties and then filled them in with a special resin.  We have more yet to do.  After that the plasterer will have to replaster all the walls.  Up to now we have had the Dining Room, Hall, Landing and Bedroom 2 done but there are plenty more areas to be investigated before we start on the outside walls.

Dan the plumber has popped in this morning to remove two of the new radiators so that we can get behind them to fill the cracks so no doubt the builders will be back next week to make more mess.  There was an awful lot of dust and debris!!

Black lines are the resin
