Cement Plasterwork Outside Basement Wall

The people who are working at our outside basement wall finished their job today. Our house looks almost done. It do not have the purple wall from the Jackodur anymore. It only needs to be painted and it is complete.

Gussek und Wolts Kellerbau - Fast Service!

As mentioned on my previous post, I just called Herr Z. this morning and then in the afternoon, someone from their company was already on the building site. To think that their company is located 350 km, about 3 1/2 hours drive, they were fast to response on our need. Up to this point, we are very satisfied with Gussek und Wolts Kellerbau, the sister company of ProHaus.

Basement Building Day 5 (Kellerbau Tag 5)

Today is the last day of building the basement. Based on the results, I would say, we are satisfied with the people from Gussek und Wolts Kellerbau and their job-well-done. They take their work seriously, they work on time, their work showed good results, and I am taken-a-back that they really clean-up every after days' work. They left the building-site organized. The Foreman and his colleagues (if available) are always there to answer any questions. The Foreman also gives advises or suggestions about how to install the perimeter insulation and the light shafts, since we are the ones who will do it.

On the other hand, we are NOT satisified about ProHaus sending us another additional costs for the basement Pipelines. Not now, that the basement is already done! They should inform us before it is being done. In that case, we can decide if we are going to have it like how it is right now or not. These Pipelines can be planned differently.

The cement is already poured-in. Our basement ceiling is almost finished. The wooden frame on the sides holds the cement.

Our two pillars for our canopy.

and FINISHED!!!

Basement Building Day 4 (Kellerbau Tag 4)

It is not much today, just the basement inner walls...

Our future extra shower room

Our future washroom.

Our future office room, with two big windows.

Basement Building Day 3 (Kellerbau Tag 3)

Today I went to the building site around 10:20am to receive the delivery of the Perimeter Insulation materials. And this is how it looks like there:

Street is closed...because no one can pass thru these big trucks.

Basement Building Day 2 (Kellerbau Tag 2)

At around 7:30 am I was already on the building lot. The crane is already parked but the truck with our basement walls is still on its way. The Gussek & Wolts people were already working since 7am. The weather is not so good today, because it is raining... not hard, but still raining. I hope the sun will show up today. But.. based on the Weather forecast, the next day that the sun will come out is next week - Monday.

The truck with our basement walls. 

Good that it is not raining anymore.

This is how it looks like when I returned around 9:15 am

One of the basement windows' frame was already installed, when I came back. We actually take it out of from our contract. I talked with the Foreman (Polier) and then he said it is no problem to uninstall it. We took out this window because it is not a tilt-and-turn window (Dreh-kipp).

Our lucky number :)

They started to do the inside wall in the afternoon
