Wall/Ceiling Insulation Part 3 (Dämmung Teil 3)

Today it's my turn to do the wall/ceiling insulation. I went to the building site this morning and do some work. I was only there for an hour and a half, so I was not able to accomplish a lot. And maybe because it was also not easy for me since it is now on the upper portion --- which is the ceiling. Some particles of the insulation materials were falling on my face and my eyes. Another thing is, I am not tall enough to reach the ceiling with a simple ladder. Anyway, at least I was able to start something :))

Base Sealing / Waterproofing Exterior Foundation Walls Part 4 (Sockelabdichtung Teil 4)

Base sealing or waterproofing of exterior foundation walls took a lot of time for us because of the weather. Since it is already winter, the weather is not really that cooperative. Today we finally finished the base sealing (atleast the BT 21). Hubby started and almost done with the styro on the sides.

This week hubby continued the wall insulation on the house. Unfortunately, I was not able to help him because of the kids. He was almost finished on the second floor of the house.

We continued the unending waterproofing of the exterior foundation walls. This work depends on the day-to-day weather situation. And since the rainy season is still not finished (plus the temperature going to minus), we were not able to finish this job. Frustrating as it is, but that's how it is for now *sigh*.

Doing the base sealing is actually not hard, except for the corners. We need to make sure that the corners are totally closed and that no moisture problem will be possible to build there. In this case, we need to cut smaller pieces of BT 21 that perfectly fit on all the corners. In our house, we have 12 corners to work on. It is very important that the BT 21 serves its purpose. And that is, to keep our walls dry and moist free. Moisture damage or water damage on housewalls creates molds that is dangerous to health. Therefore, we really need to make sure that on this part, we will be patient enough to do it the right way.

After Kindergarten, I noticed that the weather today is sunny and not so cold. I checked on the building site and everything looks good except for one side of the house, which is still a little bit wet. 

Anyway...I need to work on the opposite side so, I think it is ok. I want to do the BT21 on the corners of our two small long windows.

It was tough and not easy since when the BT21 is attached, you cannot pull it out again. Working on corners while standing on a scaffold is challenging specially if it is not perfectly build on your height ;) But atleast... I was able to finish it before going back again to Kindergarten at noon time.
