Does decorating or beautifying a wall strengthen one party's claim to ownership?

Primary text

Claims are not strengthened by the fact that one party performed plastering (*tazwiq*) or beautification (*tahseen*). Likewise, having a structure resting on one's brick that is not structurally integrated does not grant ownership, as these acts are matters of mutual concession and can be newly established.
