A lightweight concrete wall has collapsed on both sides of the door frame at the floor level. The damage occurred when we were breaking up the floor in our basement. The floor is now excavated, insulated, and installed with heating coils. The new room is going to be a bathroom/laundry room.
Now the wall needs to be repaired and, among other things, electrical wiring should be installed next to the door frame for a switch and a distribution box.
The current wall is made of 6 cm lightweight concrete blocks, plastered about 2 cm on each side. One suggestion is to first cut with a reciprocating saw to make straight cuts, and then build a wooden structure and drywall it. The wooden studs can be tensioned between the wall and floor or floor/ceiling and fastened with some adhesive.
Another alternative is to try to rebuild the collapsed section with leca and plaster it. The advantage of the wooden construction is that it should be easier to run electrical wiring through it. How does it work to rout for electrical wiring in thin leca or lightweight concrete?
Tips on methods for repairing the wall are gratefully received!?
