sichtbeton828 Jul 2019 07:39Friday and Saturday were two exhausting but also very wonderful days. Our daughter is definitely interested in the construction site, but our son’s workload is untouchable. He worked like a pro. On Friday, from after daycare at 1 p.m. (13:00) until 9:30 p.m. (21:30), and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. He would have worked longer on Saturday, but we had to go home. These were surely some of the best days of his still young life.
The atmosphere on the site was great and everything was in harmony.
We welded the connections from the basement (heat pump) to the geothermal manifold. Next, we need to lay the four individual loops (each 300 m (984 feet)) and then weld them.
The first batch of drinks for the upcoming topping-out ceremony has also been procured.

sichtbeton8210 Jul 2019 07:34Oh, it’s great to see progress. The landscaping will take a bit longer, but thanks to family help, it won’t be any more expensive. The extra cost for vehicle rental is balanced out by hours of work we’re doing ourselves.
All the “small” windows and the front doors are installed. Now the focus is on the large windows, especially in the basement. That’s where the vapor barrier needs to go in before we can start with the screed.
Plumbing work started yesterday. At the same time, the balconies were waterproofed.

Nice to see how things are progressing.
Then involve the girls as well. It’s up to the fathers whether girls learn to use hammers, drills, and other tools.
My little one loves working with anything that can be handled with a hammer or screwdriver. She’s really good at it too.

sichtbeton8211 Jul 2019 06:46Very good point. In general, my daughter is allowed to do "everything" as well. Even at a young age, she helped me with car repairs. Getting dirty is part of it too. However, during the last hot days, she preferred spending time in the water rather than on the construction site. Yesterday, they installed a Christmas tree. I didn’t notice it while compacting the soil and was quite surprised when I saw the result. Both of them went off, grabbed a branch and a piece of insulation, worked on it with a hammer, and straightened the tree.
Probably because we mentioned in the morning before daycare that we would be celebrating Christmas in the new house...
