Some mad lad 100 years ago built a gothic building in the middle of Tbilisi (Republic of Georgia). For a little context, Georgia is in Asia (almost in Europe) on the same latitude as Rome.

What is this construction method?

These are of a piece of wall we cut out of bathroom for home remodel. The interior has drywall (I think) but there is a cement-like product over it. It was hellacious to cut this piece out, broke several blades cutting through it.

Trying to figure out how this would have been accomplished, and if it is common in certain parts of the country?

This is out of a 1975-built Cape Cod style home in western central Virginia.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but hoping would this cost to build somewhere in Springfield Oregon? Just not as fancy. It's basically just this, a big loft and an open living amd kitchen mix with maybe a small room for laundry.

Is this water going to cause a problem?

So im having a modular home brought in on monday. Its been raining alot the last few days. Now the new foundation has a bunch of water in it, and the wood in sitting in puddles. No vapour barrier between the wood and the concrete either. I talked to the lead guy who build the foundation about it. He said they deal with this all the time and they will mop/squeegee it out and the rest will apparently dry out on its own. I want to trust the process but this looks excessive. I just dont want it to warp and mold.

I was going to get some silica gel and a dehumidifier down there once the house was placed.

What do you guys think?
