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.

Nice, I was so relieved when the roof was on and covered... it felt really good, from that point on the interior couldn’t get completely wet anymore, etc... Yes, TOTALLY!! I’m so relieved too. We had really bad luck shortly before, on Sunday there was a severe storm here with heavy and driving rain and strong winds, water literally ran under the Katja Sprint roofing that had already been installed because the roofers were supposed to come a few days earlier.
Now everything had to be taken out and dried again. But now the windows are still missing...

Ah, finally some pictures of the duplex again. Things have been dragging a bit with you. Or are we only seeing half of it here? No, you’ve noticed correctly. The shell construction team really worked incredibly hard, but all the other parties are dragging their feet. The carpenters delayed the order at the cutting center, then the materials didn’t arrive, then they were on vacation, so we waited three weeks just for the roof trusses. Then the shell builders went on vacation, and they still had to build the interior walls in the attic. Then the roofers took their time, and the electricians and plumbers for the rough-ins are also delaying. Whether they come or not, every day is a lottery.
Then we chose a rather unusual special color for the windows (Sheffield Oak light), after the window manufacturer took 7 weeks!!! after measuring to finalize the exact element lists, Aluplast now also needs weeks to apply this film.
The windows are now scheduled for week 39, immediately followed by interior and exterior plastering. The plastering expert was here today; I’m dreaming of a broom finish plaster, just need to convince my husband... The exterior paint for our half will be "De Nimes" by Farrow & Ball, I’m really excited. The other half will get a friendly brown/mud tone.
Otherwise, I’m currently taking care of the parquet flooring, floor tiles, and sealing for our exposed concrete stairs; the metalworker has submitted an acceptable offer for an industrial ladder glazing with sliding door (*yay*) and some nice stair railings; the painter is contracted, and final arrangements are ongoing with the plumber. For the parquet, I still need to prepare samples, as I want to treat it myself (alkaline cleaning & soap finish); a few ash floorboards are on their way to me right now.
In short, everything is moving forward, but it’s dragging. I hope the interior work won’t be as slow overall. We have slipped from the planned completion in mid-November to the end of January. Mid-November was admittedly already VERY optimistic.

Oh God, I never thought laying tiles would be so exhausting and take so long! Only 2 1/4 rooms done so far. Luckily, we found a professional tiler for the bathroom and toilet—there’s no way we could have managed that ourselves! No matter how hard it is, once you finish, it feels addictive to do it yourself. And it looks great.
