One Year Anniversary of our House! (Unser Haus ist ein Jahr Alt)

Same day last year when the first wall of our dream house was built. It took the workers few days to finish it.

It was the same day last year when we felt so proud to say that we are building our family dream house.

It is already one year... and we are still building it. We are even not near to finishing it. We still have a lot of things to accomplish, since we decided to do everything from the inside. For the record, the most credit goes to my superman husband who does the most building works in our house. On the other hand, his dad and I are always here for him to help. 

We wish, that before the year ends, we will already have our floor screed.

This is the update of our house from the outside, after a year. 

Filling-in the Plasterboard and Sanding the Kitchen, Living and Dinning Room Area (Verspachteln, Schleifen Küche, WohnEssbereich)

It is again another day of filling-in the plasterboad and sanding some parts of the house.

Never Ending Work at the Building Site

Hubby and his dad worked hard on the building site and were able to close ALMOST all the walls with plasterboard.

Our Bathtub was Delivered! (Unser Badewanne ist da!)

I was excited to receive the call of the courier. They said, our bathtub will be delivered in our house (building site) in 10 minutes. Good that hubby, hubby's dad  and I were at the building site (working). It was almost 12 noon.

Hubby and his dad carried it inside and temporarily set it at the kitchen area. 

Update Update

It has been awhile since the last update on this blog.

We are now on the Autumn season and the weather is not so good. That means, flu is just around the corner =(

These are the updates for the last two weeks...

Hubby's Dad finished the case of one of our ventilation pipe, located in our pantry.

Finally, the last wood-based panel in our kitchen was installed. It took awhile because of the electric cables that needed to be fix on that wall.

 

I was able to install the last vapor retarder in our kitchen ceiling. On the first picture below, it still needs to be finalized and taped with Eurasol.

First batch of the ceiling substructure in our kitchen.

Ceiling substructure is now installed.

Hubby installed the drywall.

Hubby installed the last piece of the drywall in our kitchen. At last, our living, dinning, kitchen and pantry's wall were all finished.

Hubby installed the wood-based panels in our Guest WC. It was not that easy since it needed to perfectly fit on those plumbing pipes.

Filling-in and Smoothing the Plasterboard (Verspachteln und Schleifen die Gipskartonplatten )

After finishing the application of the penetrating primer in our pantry this morning, I then started smoothing some walls in our groundfloor. When hubby's dad arrived, he continued installing the plasterboard in our chimney walls and I worked on filling-in the plasterboards in our living, dinning room and lobby.
