Hello,

It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.

I'll start right away.

For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Before March 2014:



After May 2015:

The main bathroom on the upper floor is fully tiled, and we have started the guest bathroom on the ground floor. We really like how it’s turning out.

Bathroom renovation: dark tiles, bucket on stone platform, plastic sheeting on ceiling.


Bathroom in shell condition with bathtub, incomplete tiling work, building materials, and loose cables.


Bathroom under renovation: exposed water pipes, cables, unfinished walls, and bathtub.


Bathroom area with dark tiles, open cutout, yellow piping and Sigma packaging


Bathroom construction site: tiling work, yellow mounting discs, wedges, and metal rail installed.


Bathroom construction with wall tiles, visible tile spacers, spirit level, and tools on the floor.


This evening the electrical outlets and some KNX components arrived. So I went straight to the site and installed the first few sockets and sensors...

White interior wall with hole for electrical outlet, loose wires, construction equipment, cardboard box, and water bottle on the floor.


Renovation room with white walls, open electrical outlets, cables, boxes, and tools on the windowsill.

Hey, whenever I Google waterproofing membranes, I see that sometimes they are even welded up onto the walls. Is it okay to do it that way?

Shell construction site: dark bitumen membrane on the floor, light concrete walls, window front on the right.

I installed the waterproofing membrane in the basement myself, and it looks much neater than yours. It’s mainly intended to protect against rising damp. From what I see, the membrane was consistently applied up to 10cm (4 inches) above the wall and then stopped.

Since Friday, we also have a front door and we are absolutely in love with it:


Interior of a construction site: door opening outward, window on the right, construction timber, tool basket in front.

Wooden house under construction: dark door front, horizontal wood cladding, construction site with debris.

Modern wooden house with carport, glass door, wood facade, construction materials under porch and plants.

The friendly builders also quickly crafted a comfortable entrance step for us – very stylish, but temporary, because once the carport is paved, no step will be necessary anymore.

Additionally, we had the blower door test on Friday and achieved a result of 0.44. As far as I know, this is even below the requirement for a passive house.
Well done, little house!

So there is something underneath up to the wall, but it seems quite loose and airy...
I hope they finish the final waterproof membrane along the edge!

@Climbee Nice house you are building there. Is there a thread about your floor plans, etc.? I would be interested.
