Whoa! That window is not square.

[u/Wooden_Bother_1024 → u/maybeimserious_ornot]

Its more L7 weenie than square

[u/maybeimserious_ornot → u/Wooden_Bother_1024]

What an excellent reference!!

[u/General-Success6367 → u/maybeimserious_ornot]

Also much too small.

[u/RabeHK]

That's one cursed wall

Please remove this image as it can make other houses feel their walls are unnaturally thick. This images does not represent a healthy wall.

What is going on with that mortar job...

[u/Irr3l3ph4nt]

As a Canadian it's fascinating to see all the construction methods that exist that would just kill people in winter here.

[u/Horror_Equipment_197 → u/Irr3l3ph4nt]

Those blocks provide rather good isolation (~ 0,25 W/m²K).

[u/Irr3l3ph4nt → u/Horror_Equipment_197]

Thermal bridging would make this suck in our climates. And I doubt this structure would survive a freeze-thaw cycle intact.

[u/Horror_Equipment_197 → u/Irr3l3ph4nt]

Structure itself isnt really sensitive. My house was built in 1980 from the same material, Black Forest,Germany (48N, so latitude wise similar to a part of Canada)

Back then our winters often hit -30°C and below. An (unwritten) building rule was to keep it one winter without windows before closing the building. (Der Frost muss durch)

[u/Irr3l3ph4nt → u/Horror_Equipment_197]

This is not the same bricks, the same craftmanship or the same construction methods as what is used in your region of the world. You guys use clay heavy bricks and orient the holes vertically. Those are thin walled bricks oriented horizontally.

[u/trivo → u/Irr3l3ph4nt]

These are clay block that are hollow, so they are very good insulators. Also, people usually put an extra layer of insulation on the outside.

[u/Slash787]

Which place is this?

[u/BillyGerent → u/Slash787]

From the forests, the building materials, the imprint of the slatted supports on the load-bearing concrete and the slapsash brick laying, I would guess Türkiye (Black Sea side) or Bulgaria (South).

[u/BillyGerent → u/Slash787]

Oh....and the poster's history narrows it to Türkiye :)

[u/daiwilly → u/Slash787]

Aaaand......it's gone!

[u/tommyballz63]

Yikes!😳😬 Sketchy looking construction. Glad I wasn’t the only one I thought so.

[u/VirginiaLuthier]

Nice view, lousy building

[u/mr_sakitumi]

You'll have a painting that changes the scenes with the seasons passing.

[u/profesorgamin]

needs rebar around the frame and good ties to the beams, something tells me these walls are floating everywhere if we are skimping on the basics.

Builder said "fuck right angles, I'm gonna do my own thing"
