When I arrived at site it
did not look that bad. During the casting process the shutter work was not
supported enough and the weight of the concrete pushed the shutter work a
little bit further apart. This caused the plastic pipes to shift. As a result,
some of the pipes were skew and irregular at the visible façade.
The first attempt showing
the irregularities as well as concrete honeycomb at the bottom left corner.
My builder made the decision
to break down and rebuild. The shutter work was thoroughly supported the second
time and the concrete systematically compacted to prevent the formation of
concrete honeycomb.
The final result showing
smooth concrete and even spaced openings. Almost perfect! Now we just need to
fill it up with wine…
P.S. Can anyone tell me why
the flaking occurred at the top?
