Clear re everything in your note.
Re <<Is there a building issue you are looking into? I was referring to the walls made from stones strewn in a field by mother nature.>> I meant the same wall technique as you referred to. As to issue, way(s) to reduce / eliminate damp from ground water by capillary action into any living space / parking space, generally, and same w/ water seepage on vertical walls due to air pressure of typhoon system, also generally. The solution(s) set that can be guaranteed would be worth merit / value / worth for any enterprise that can make the guarantee.
I think I intuitively understand capillary action, even if by mortar connecting bricks which themselves have capillaries, as opposed to capillaries within cement / concrete.
In ancient China they circumvented or delayed dampness caused destruction of, say, the Great Wall by adding sticky rice to the mortar
Re <<Now, and I think it's partially thanks to you, I feel I am living in a Agatha Christi novel>> Explore, and whenever feel so, up stakes and explore some more. The islands. Heck, once places open up, Italy. I watch movies with Italian settings for the setting alone.
In my imagination Greece also good.
Good to have <<daughters>>. I prefer daughters to sons, theoretically speaking. In reality, both good, but daughters better :0) |
