We used two different kinds of mortar,
lime mortar for the old fashioned stone pitching with filled joints
walls, and cement mortar for the new masonry in hollow briks and concrete.

Then comes the phase
of removal of the shattered and ruined mortar up to the wall, so as to
examine the existing structure and it state of deterioration. All the
caving in and imperfections detected were repaired but always with the
same construction rules. It is important to mention that at that time
a 40 cm caving in was detected in the south walll, that was caused by
the weight of the covering, the so-called covering fluxion. The wall had
to be partially removed, so as to be reconstructed, following the same
construction process and in the corrected position.

In the processe
of rehabilitation we must always respect the former construction process,
otherwise risking serious and unexpected pathologies.
In the work of relaying
the removed roof tiles, while doing the new roof, we used the fibrecement
foil, as a base for the earthen tile and subtile, against infiltrations
and as part of the thermal insulation. The masonry used in the new window
recessings, are masonry recovered from a demolition and used here. Always
having in mind that: "Nothing is consumed, everything is transformed."
