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.

Still an insane amount left to do!"A LITTLE" glass! Amazing!!
Tina mit K20 Nov 2019 17:19For us, last week and this week were very stressful because it was time for self-performed work.
This meant for us:
- Partly digging trenches for utility connections (gas, sewage, electricity for sewage)
- Waterproofing bathrooms and laying tiles
- Painting the utility room and parts of the house that won’t be reachable later (boiler, radiators, etc.)
We managed to get everything done, even though these were quite unfamiliar tasks for me as a desk worker.
I couldn’t operate the excavator for long because I was too rough and it made me feel unwell. Instead, I laid tiles, and here you can already see our bathtub, even though it doesn’t really look good in the half-finished bathroom and the tiles are still dirty from grouting.
Yesterday and today, all the utility providers came, and everything with the utility connections went smoothly. The guys also nicely leveled the front yard. Now you don’t have to worry about falling into a deep hole when you head to the portable toilet.
Well, the exterior facade is also finished and the excavated soil has been completely spread out. But because the ugly scaffolding is still up at the back, I haven’t taken a photo of that yet.

@Tina mit K Looks like you’re in the final stretch!
@tumaa Yes, the windows on the ground floor are floor-to-ceiling, and on the upper floor we followed the window lines of the ground floor.
@guckuck2 Yes, the window cleaner will be happy too, as some windows on the upper floor are fixed glazing. We knew this from the start because we wanted the window frames to be as slim as possible. However, our window supplier matched the thickness of the fixed windows to the operable ones with frames. Now the fixed windows are just as thick as the operable ones... our building fail.
@Zaba12 There will be backfilling in front of the ground floor windows. On the upper floor, we have some fixed glazing and tilt-and-turn restrictors on the operable sashes. (Baden-Württemberg, single-family house)

The formwork will be done in the next few days, and the basement is slowly taking shape...
