Now I will continue my report.
The timbering is now impregnated and should so short rains survive - for a permanent use is that of course not sufficient.
But we wanted lay bricks. All timberings are definitely not bricked, but in any case, all interior walls and the exterior walls perhaps nearly to half - let's see how far I suffice with the material and how it works.
pic132.JPG
All timberings were measured and the measurements transferred onto a foam board, then I cut them out with a scalpel. Note that I have with a sanding file the edges lightly broken and a few light circles at the flat sides sanded (for a plastered surface).
pic133.JPG
For later gluing I want to use this special glue. Dries to a rubbery mass (it remains flexible), is then colorless and till to dry washable with water.
pic134.JPG
Before I've glued the wall parts into the timberings, I give them color. Painting after installation with the brush - I'm sure that is very difficult.
I have used normal grey primer from a spray can by Tamiya.
pic135.JPG
Then a mixture of sand yellow, earth brown and white mixed and painted with the airbrush the large areas; good to see the mark for the installation position on the side of the plates.
pic136.JPG
Here one plate after coloring.
pic137.JPG
The installation has begun...
pic138.JPG
...and found a temporary end, all plates are consumed; I must cut out new plates.
pic139.JPG
For today's completion still two close-ups. What now still shines through white from glue is later colorless and then no longer visible.
pic140.JPG
And what can be still noticed? I have the edges of the plates too much sanded for my taste, here is less definitely more and looks better.
pic141.JPG
With this wall type I'll fill about half of the timberings, but as still in progress, there will be a few timberings with "unplastered brick walls" and of course some still open. This then later.

The bricklayer makes today further with the construction already described; all partition walls well as the left gable wall and half of the front walls I would like to complete. I start again with a view of the back side as they look now.
pic142.JPG
I've already cut out again a variety of plates; it goes on at the back side and at the partition walls. Here just a few pictures.

Then I started to plan my work better. First, I've cut out all plates and tried whether they fit well.
pic150.JPG
pic151.JPG
Then again some grind (the edges only minimally), marked and of course primed.
pic152.JPG
Than final coloring using an airbrush and...
pic153.JPG
...after the installation. For this purpose, the outer edges of the plate coated thin with Latex Bindemittel and pushed from the outside into the corresponding timbering.
pic154.JPG
With a water brush and a clean rag then wiped off the excess glue. Then it looked so...
pic155.JPG
The remaining glue is later colorless and then falls not on. With this construction are some walls more to do.

The remaining walls have still to be plastered; so it goes on. I had already explained how it goes, therefore now only pictures. At the gable wall it begins...
pic156.JPG
…and here already finished.
pic157.JPG
pic158.JPG
At the front side it goes on; here also the raw parts for the last interior wall finished.
pic159.JPG
Frontside finished…
pic160.JPG
…and also the interior walls.

To conclude this construction phase here a few views:
From behind, through the hallway window…
pic162.JPG
Photographed from a greater distance in the same direction; so is good to see the difference between the too strong sanded edges and the less sanded edges...
pic163.JPG
A view in the lower hallway.
pic164.JPG
In the other direction.
pic165.JPG
Gable wall right.
pic166.JPG
A few views crossways through the house…

The bricklayer continues with bricking timberings, but now without plaster. And again something to learn, follows in the next part.

The mason had exposed stonework promised; it follows today. For that I've ordered me a small bag bricks - in sufficient quality and good scale fit.
It had to be bricked some timberings.
A beautiful fumbling - will confirm everyone who has tried it himself once. First pictures...
pic171.JPG
It was bricked without aids to align the stones and for the size of the fugues. Cutted were they with the flex disc at the Dremel. Unfortunately I had no matching mason hammer found...
pic172.JPG
pic173.JPG
pic174.JPG
My brickwork includes in addition to the bricks dispersion tile adhesive and then finally from gray, flexible grout.
pic175.JPG
At my first grouted brick surface, I've made it too well-intentioned.
pic176.JPG
This area is as clean as a grouted exposed brickwork. So would that of course make no mason; he would merely make sure that the fugues are well sealed, throw existing holes and pull smooth with a trowel. However, there would more mortar remain then on the bricks; I will try to correct this later.

pic178.JPG
Continuation follows…
