... At least, I only know of three.

sichtbeton8217 Jul 2019 06:56The topping-out ceremony was celebrated on Saturday. Unfortunately, very few tradespeople showed up. This was probably due to most of them living several kilometers away and an important access road to our site being closed on weekends at the moment. However, many neighbors came, which created a great atmosphere!
The landscaping is taking a lot longer than expected. I’ve had enough of all the uphill work for now. Anchoring the L-shaped retaining wall stones at the bottom, climbing up behind the excavator, unchaining them at the top, and repeating this countless times. But on the bright side, it will give me well-toned calves eventually.
The L-stones were welded together yesterday by the “grandpas.” The vapor barrier has been installed. Yesterday, I successfully laid some bricks for the first time (for the shower partition). Only the large windows are causing us trouble—the installation date has been postponed again.

Congratulations on the topping-out ceremony! The weather was on your side, too.
Very nice view. It will surely look great once you’re finished.
Respect for doing the landscaping work yourselves.
The windows are a bit frustrating. The question is whether they simply don’t have the time or if the windows are being remanufactured because defects were found.
Better to wait a bit longer and receive the final, flawless windows all at once.
