DIYリフォームパート6 - 恐怖のDIYの始まり！/ DIY Renovation Part 6 - Let the horror of DIY begin!
1.まずひさしを取り除きます。
1. Remove the eaves.
昭和のモルタルの作りってこんなになってるんですね。木で枠を作ってそこにモルタルが塗り込まれているだけです。俳句のような簡素さを感じさせます。
The mortar houses in the Showa era seems to be made very simple. They just craft a wooden frame and smear mortar over the structure. I feel it has something to do with Haiku.
2.1F壁のモルタルだけはがしていきます。無論言うは易し。
2. Tear off the mortar from the 1st-floor wall structure. Of course, its easier said than done.
これがかなりの地獄。正直平たい岩が張り付いてるようなものなので、重いし危ないし体力的にも結構キツイです。これを見て自分も外壁の張り直してみようかなと思った方もいらっしゃるかも知れませんが、写真でみるよりかなり大変です。出たゴミも当然普通には捨てられません。
The photos make it look easy, but basically, you have like a boulder stuck on to your wall so it's heavy, dangerous and quite exhausting. There might be some people who read this blog and figured it was a good idea to do their own walls, but please consider that you have been warned. You can't throw just throw the stuff away either.
1F正面のモルタルを全て取り払った写真です。ちなみにオレンジの袋はいわゆる“ガラ袋”というもので、建築の廃棄物を入れるゴミ袋です。基本業者に持っていってもらうか自分たちでトラックで持っていきます。この家こんな構造で大丈夫って感じがしますが、これでも311の地震を生き延びた猛者です。
So here is what it looks like after the 1F exterior mortar is removed. The orange bag there is what is called a "garabukuro" which is a garbage bag for construction materials here in Japan. Basically, you need to call an industrial waste processor or load your pick up truck and take it to them yourself. You might question the structural soundness of this house, but it actually survived the 311 like a boss.
このあとはドアと窓を交換してモルタルを塗りなおすわけですが、この壁をはがす部分はかなり大変ながらも割と簡単な作業だということに驚愕。しかも有数に大変だったその作業の時に知人に手伝ってもらいました。まさかあんなに大変だとは思わなかったんですよ。その際はありがとうございました！
We will replace the door and the window then re-apply the mortar after this, but I was astonished to find out that although exhausting, the taking down of the mortar was rather the easier part of the steps. And we even called friends to help out not knowing the level of trouble. I didn't know! Honestly! (I sincerely thank you guys for the help!)
