I have a split-level house where we plan to pour concrete for a stair along the slope next to the house (left in the image). On the opposite side of the planned stairs, there is an L-support (right in the image).
The question is whether I can "cast together" the stairs with the wall and the L-support? Or is it advisable to have an "expansion joint"/gap between the stairs and the wall/L-support?
The house wall consists of thermomur (with a layer of foam plastic on the outside), which allows the wall to accommodate certain movements.
Could it be wise from a frost heave perspective to have a gap where water can run down along the house wall to the drainage?
How wide should the gap be if that is the case?
Check the nails on the window sills; it's not uncommon for them to come loose from the frame. I had a water leak from the upstairs when the wind was driving heavy rain until someone told me to check the nails. I didn't think so much water could come in through those small holes.

Wrong thread?
