This should prove one of the most important measures: there's a slab of concrete under these tiles, where there was sand and gravel before, allowing water to reach the back wall, which indeed was damp on the inside, too.
Any water splashing down ends up in these canals. The new andaluz tiles on the walls protect the walls. The staircase has turned out quite nice too. We think. Oh, the hand railings need to be put back still.
The terrace is now tiled:
Still some wet spots in the garage when it rains heavily:
That is caused by water running off against the wall, where a little bit still seeps into the wall and below. We'll put row of small tiles on the wall there, or use that terrace-rubber-paint.
The garage floor was painted with spcial paint for garage floors:
The cave has it's new Kerakoll breathing plaster. And you can see where the walls are still damp, a few weeks later:
This will slowly dry out in time. Moisture that until now was trapped under "plastico wallpaint".
This is now the front of the house:
Not strictly necessary for protection, but for appearance.
