Expandable foram can be used to seal the large gap. 3) Yes, the concrete will just fall over. I'll seal the non-trivial opening with bricks, if necessary. One reminder - "screw the plywood to the wood frame if there is the possibility of the need to re-open the space". | |

| Jun 21, 2021 at 11:37 | comment | added | negacao | Thanks, that seems like a great solution. But how do I repair that wall? What can I do for the gap that remains once the plywood is installed (there's a non-trivial open area behind there, so if I just try slathering cement on to it, the cement will just end up going in the back)? | |
