Hello Herbert/ others,

We did a retrofit  four years ago, in a big concrete building which 
had been demolished partly.
It's an outside wall, first floor.We put wooden beams on the floor 
with long long nails (upside down) as bottompins in them. On this 
we just build the wall.

To compress it we used the things you heighten a car with (don't 
know the english word ;jack??)and filled the top bit.
It is left unstuccoed on a very open and windy terrain and is still 
functioning very well.
Furthermore I never heard of anyone.

Herbert: we consider to make a lastminute jump to the conference; 
would that be possible for you?
Springgreetings Jolien
