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.

Trademark11 Nov 2020 20:46Hello everyone,
11ant rightly pointed out that although I occasionally comment here, I have never shared much about my own project. My wife and I are currently renovating an old rubble stone house that originally dates back to 1853. Why? Well, because we are not really new-build people 😉 . Many of you would probably demolish and rebuild. Since this property is under ensemble protection (a type of heritage conservation), that is not an option. Our goal is to give this ugly duckling a bit of charm.
I will try to gradually provide updates on the current condition. Right now, it is early summer. Some work has already been done inside. At the moment, we are waiting for approval from the heritage authority.
An additional highlight of this property lies behind the house. It includes a total plot of 950 m² (11,000 sq ft), and beyond that, there is only the park:

Not that I am an expert, but I don’t see a single rubble stone on the front. Rubble stone is – as far as I know – roughly split stone. These all appear to be quite neatly dressed.
I find the permanently closed windows at the top unfortunate, but maybe there are "internal" reasons for that?
Anyway, it seems like a nice project, in my opinion...

Amazing. A few years ago, the Burg Lede was for sale near us in Bonn. If I had a few million, I would have bought it immediately.
There is nothing more beautiful than these old buildings.

In any case, I think it’s a nice project... A pretty silly mistake on my part if I’m still confusing sandstone and rubble stone... The sealed windows do indeed have internal reasons. In the 1960s, a reinforced concrete ceiling was installed, which also explains the concrete and the window in the upper area.
