You could already pull the weeds on the sidewalk and sweep the street, even though your street cleaning week is not until next week; it looks terrible.

And wash the Golf :p

We are approaching the move-in date. The flooring and bathrooms will be completed this week. The next two weeks are scheduled for the painters, and then only some minor tasks remain, such as finishing the remaining electrical work and installing doors.

After the ground floor walls were built and the concrete ceiling slab was installed over the past few days, today marked the second phase of installing the ventilation ducts. There was quite a bit going on within the ceiling space by the end of the day. Originally, wall outlets were planned in the supply air rooms on the upper floor. Unfortunately, a reinforced concrete beam from the ground floor was in the way inside one wall, so a floor outlet will now provide fresh air in front of the window.

What kind of small tree is that at the entrance to the property? 🙂

Painters after the flooring? Why is that?

We’re talking at least 5-6 months here, not just 2. But those days when you could leave scaffolding up for months are over. On top of that, all scaffolding has been removed here.

Reading this again, I’m glad I made a different decision.
By now, I’ve even heard around here that scaffolders don’t have any scaffolding available anymore and roofers can’t complete their work because of missing scaffolding, and so on… unbelievable.

I bought my scaffolding used. It’s been standing since May. Soon it will probably be stored for a while 🙂
At the time, I got quotes for 3 months of rental. For a scaffold of this size, it would have cost me about 3,000 euros.
I needed it much longer because I was doing the work myself.
I bought it for 10,000 euros in three installments, all the same system from online classifieds, and I will likely sell it again for a similar price. I will keep part of it.
The only real cost for me was the effort for assembly, disassembly, and modifications(!) — that was a bit annoying, and as a construction layperson at the time, I didn’t realize that each trade requires the scaffolding in somewhat different ways.
Masons, roofers, plasterers.
I definitely don’t regret the choice to buy versus rent, and now I know how to build scaffolding. At the start of the build, I was very cautious on the first level… now I could run across up there (well… I could… it’s still not a playground, after all) :p

To stay on topic in this cool thread, although I don’t like double posts

I initially asked a few questions there and occasionally share updates about my house construction with pictures.
