Vacation is Over!

Three weeks vacation is over. Hubby worked the whole three weeks in the house.

Last Saturday, we learned that the earth cable that was already installed from the power box to basement is wrong. So frustrating. Until now we still do not have power in the house except for the temporary building site power box. We planned to return this box in the month of January but with this issue, we cannot do that. I hope this issue will be resolved soon.

This morning, I continued the inner wall insulation. There are not a lot anymore, but these are the parts where I need to cut a lot of small pieces to fit. Therefore it took the whole morning to finish it. The only inner wall that is not yet insulated (in the whole house) is that of the Toilet in the first floor (Guest WC).

Sunday Work (Kleben, kleben, kleben)

It is sunday once again. Normally it is free day, family bonding time, relaxing time... not for us. This is usually our time together to work on the building site. Today we have a lot to do. I was able to help the whole morning but not in the afternoon. We closed the cutted foil from the Air exhaust system installation. I closed the hole with special tape, and hubby put-back the insulation materials. It looks easy but it is not really that easy. We need to make sure that it is properly done, so cold temperature will not get in the house in the future. I mean, it should really be properly closed.

Never ending wall/ceiling insulation...

Wall/Ceiling Insulation Part 6 (Dämmung Teil 6)

Yesterday afternoon hubby worked on the building site and started putting the ceiling insulation in our second floor. He decided to have the 240mm thick insulation materials for this part. That is originally what is needed. We were just thinking before of using 160mm thick so we can use the whole 240mm on the attic. But I think this is the best solution and then if we still have excess materials, then we will use it on the attic. We can simply add 100mm and 50mm´s or we will just simply use the 160mm that we still have. Since that is still open for discussion, we can just continue to finish what we have started.

This morning it was again my turn to work on the insulation. I finally finished the last few parts of putting the insulation materials. I am happy to see that all the ceilings in our kitchen, dining place and living room were all finished. There are only two rooms to work-on in the first floor... and that is the WC and the Guest/Work Room.

Wall/Ceiling insulation is still in progress...

Since yesterday, we continued the work on the insulation of our walls and ceilings. It is not that easy, since cutting of the insulation materials takes a lot of time. Aside from that, we need to cut many times for just one part of the house. It is also uncomfortable to work with mouth/nose protection, as well as with glasses (that protects the eyes from the falling pieces of the insulation materials).

Anyway, we are almost almost done in the first floor. We are working as a team.

Wall/Ceiling Insulation Part 4 (Dämmung Teil 4)

First weekend of the year 2014 and first weekend of the month. Another batch of ceiling and wall insulation has been done. We worked on the ground floor area. It is almost done... ALMOST. I can see progress yuhuuuuu.

Hubby did the wall insulation (the wall showing on the right side on this pic).

It looks cuddlelicious ha ha ha. And the house is starting to get empty :)

Hubby did a good job almost finishing the ceiling of the kitchen area.

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 :))

Wall/Ceiling Insulation Part 2 (Dämmung Teil 2)

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.

Wall/Ceiling Insulation Part 1 (Dämmung Teil 1)

Yesterday and today, hubby and I worked on the buiding site --- project wall insulation. We worked for the whole day until the sun is down. Our two kiddos were with their Grandparents. The wall insulation materials really looks so puffy when opened. We started to work on the walls from the EG to DG. We plan to do the ceiling insulation next.

Here are some pictures...

Starting the walls on the second floor...

Team work with bruises from wall insulation ;)

Update: Wall insulation on the first floor is finished :)
