ytong wall is up to about 1m75, will let it rest now before doing the upper parts so the glue can cure first...

Also not sure yet what to do with the top end, go up to the ceiling, or not... ceiling would be more stable, as then it anchores on 3 sides , vs 2. Even though it's lightweight, i don't want it caving in on me while i'm in the shower... + it will support the tiles as well, and they are quite heavy.



pain in the ass that hardly anything else in the house is straight... which is typical for houses from the 1920'ies around here..
few foundations, roof beams that sagged a bit over time... I suppose contractors are used to it, but for a first time DIY'er like myself, it's not that easy to work with.

I think i'll add another piece of ytong at the backend, like that single piece you see standing in the bottom, but going up a bit higher
to Brace it a little bit with an L-shape ( that would be the rear left side, not visable in this picture)
