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.

May I ask, what is the height of your knee wall? Specifically, in the third picture, measured from the finished floor level.Planned to be 75cm (30 inches), but in reality it should be a bit higher, around 88cm (35 inches)...

Yesterday we finished installing the insulation in the basement. Today we will work on the two upper floors, and we might even manage to lay the first heating loops in the basement.
PS: A tip for anyone planning to install insulation themselves (I don’t have many good ideas, but this one was actually not so bad ): Buy a few cans of marking spray paint from the hardware store and spray the water and electrical pipes accordingly. Then press the styrofoam onto the pipes. This way, you get an exact outline of the pipes, creating a clean cutting template.

Then press the polystyrene insulation against the pipes. This way, you get an exact outline of the pipes, creating a clean cutting template. The “professional” approach looks like this: you lay down one layer of insulation that fits between the pipes and is about as thick as the tallest pipe. Then you fill the gaps with loose fill. On top of that, you quickly place the second layer. Done. Time-consuming, precise cutouts are avoided.

On top of that, you quickly add the second layer. Done. Time-consuming, precise cutouts are no longer necessary.That's how we did it as well, but you still need to place the insulation neatly up to the pipes—this technique was invaluable for that. Otherwise, I agree with you.
