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:

It doesn’t really matter, it has a wooden facade anyway, and in two years at the latest it will look weathered like all wooden houses. After that, appearance unfortunately becomes secondary.

That is a matter of personal taste – I like weathered houses. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have chosen such a facade.

If they were at least uniformly gray everywhere, that would be acceptable. But you can clearly see where the sun has reached and where it hasn’t, which in my opinion looks very unattractive.

this is a process – eventually, everything looks uniformly nice gray. It’s similar to patina or a copper roof. The beauty lies in patience and waiting, as valuable materials simply need more time to mature and develop their character.

I agree with you if it happens that way, but I know several houses, roughly between 5 and 40 years old, that still look really ugly and uneven... what causes that? (Yes, it involves the appropriate wood, at least according to the owners, who expected a different result).

Uniform weathering, on the other hand, I find extremely attractive... But the risk was a reason for us to avoid it, since we know some people who regretted it.
