The main reason to Hagebau last night (besides getting grout for the tile) was to pick up paint for the guesthouse. We originally inteded to go with white, but that just ended up being too much. Especially walking into the guest house it felt like the white was...
The tile is (almost) finished
This morning we finally started on the last leg tiling the shower. We had to run to Hagebau yesterday before it closed for the weekend. When we returned, we where just too tired to go on. So, fresh and rested we finished the last few rows of tiles and planned on...
The wonder of motion detectors
A quick post on a project that has taken a back seat to the guest house, the build out of the mudroom. We haven't done much in there, besides cleaning it out so far, but on Friday our favorite electrician rewired the entire thing, ripping out the 30+ year old wiring...
Another step closer…..
Today was another huge day on the guest house. Not only did the electrician hook up the water heater but we also went to IKEA this morning to make sure there was not back ordering needed for the bedroom furniture we had picked out - all good so far!At home we finished...
It’s slowly starting to come together…
We got quite a bit done yesterday and were both quite tired when we called it quits in the evening. But our hard work has really started to pay off and the light at the end of the tunnel is definitely getting closer.Stefan focused adding a few more corner profiles and...
Yes, we’re still moving forward
In our last post, the last photo we sowed was this one:A rather big pile of screed still in that photo and we didn't actually use up all the cement...the overage pile was a bit smaller in the end but it was still quite a decent amount that we just couldn't use. Since...
A major milestone
After weeks of delays from contractor and other mishaps we have finally reached the end of the rough build out. This morning at 8.30h Macky arrived with a helper in tow and promptly set out the fix the piping. It turns out they had to replace a pipe and now we should...
Get the dog away from my children……
Thanksgiving is more than a week behind us now, but this is something that we just need to post about! Better late than never. We had a big Thanksgiving feast at our house last Saturday (Thanksgiving isn't a holiday here in Germany, so people have to work) with 10...
Tomorrow is finally THE day
In our last post, we were going on about potentially putting in the screed on Friday which is basically one of last big step before we start the finishing touches on the guest house (paint, floor, tile, bathroom fixtures, etc.). BUT we had a rather unpleasant find on...
To screed….or not to screed
Well, the screed was ordered yesterday. 1.5 cubic meters should do it for the guesthouse. Macky finally dragged himself out here yesterday to finish the plumbing. He hung the water heater and everything seemed to be ok.After he left (without testing, and yes it's our...
