Stemmen is also \"using a chisel.\" So it could be mortising work. |

1 hr confidence:
hacking? drilling? Explanation: Im Deutschen benützen wir den Ausdruck "Stemmen" für formgebende Holzbearbeitung, aber auch für Arbeiten an Mauerwerk (z.B. für die Verlegung von Rohren und Leitungen oder für Umbauarbeiten). Für Stemmarbeiten in Mauerwerk wird auch *hacking* verwendet. Ich bin nicht sicher, aber ich glaube fast, *chiseling* sagt man eher nur, wenn die Arbeit händisch ausgeführ wird. Das deutsche *Stemmarbeiten* umfasst auch den Einsatz von Maschinen und Bohrungen, die zum Arbeitsablauf gehören. Einige Beispiele: I decided to have the meter on the outside wall adjacent to the study. This meant hacking away at the brickwork to fit the big plastic box http://www.selfbuildanddesign.com/beginner/wiring.htm This kitchen remodel involves the complete and utter destruction of the existing kitchen, which includes the removal of three layers of flooring, demolition of a wall of built-in cabinetry, and hacking into over 12 feet of 80 year old lath and plaster. http://www.dooce.com/archives/daily/12_01_2003.html Beispiel: welche Umbauarbeiten Mietern in einem Vertrag untersagt sind: Existing RC slabs not allowed to be hacked for construction of scupper drains. Existing wall tiles to be removed using hammer and chisel only. No mechanical hacker is allowed to be used. No hacking to form recess or opening in existing structural column, beams, wall, slab and other members is allowed for embedment or running of any pipe. http://www.hdb.gov.sg/isoa022p.nsf/0/db055a1972d304af4825667... |
