Rendering single brick garage stock brick

[justyjust]

Hi People

It's been a while since i rendered any wall and i have be asked to do this job by a relative which i don't really want to do but have to if you know what i mean.

Anyway

This a single brick wall with no cavity the DPC is just above the first brick from the floor line, his already had some damp which he thinks is because of the guttering.

He wants it rendered whats your recommendations? i offered to build a wall in front of this and it's not something he wants.
So i come to the decision of i will render the wall down to the DPC with maybe a 100mm gap at the bottom.

I also thought i could foam adhesive cement boards on to the wall giving a small gap between the two surfaces, maybe using hardiebacker but i've also found a cement particle board with timber cement mixed has anyone used this and is this water resistant?

If i go down the render route i've looking at a 1:1:6 mix cement line sand, when i use the calculator its only giving me 11 cement 4 lime not equal amounts is this because the lime only for the final coat?

Foam you say

25kg bag of lime is much larger in volume than 25kg bag of cement

What about a 25kg bag of feathers? That would be much lighter than 25kg of lime or cement, plus its larger volume would have increased thermal values.
Feathers, they're the future.

Sorry you've obviously completely gotten the wrong end of the stick, I have absolutely no interest in trying to help you.

No I'm just extremely selective about those I'm willing to help on here. I'd help any of the regulars, even those I disagree with.

I think you would make a excellent Santa clause anyway!

It all looks nice and dry. Just stick insulated plasterboards on the wall. Bob your auntie.

Brick looks good just tell him to leave it - Me York loft apartment affect
That block work is just unnecessarily untidy. I’ve heard of Mouse ears on mortar lines but them men are elephant ears

I like Mixerman's solution but if you're gonna use cement boards use a floor tile cement, as recommended by the makers. I used that calculator too, something off with it, took back loads of sand afterwards, embarassing it was. Then again, I forgot to add the feathers.
