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.

Before March 2014:



After May 2015:

@gmt94 What kind of surface will be placed under the "play area"? Grass as well, or do you have something different planned?

We thought about it for a long time. Grass was quickly ruled out since I only sowed the seeds about six weeks ago. So, the setup would have trampled everything before the grass had a chance to grow properly. Also, I didn’t want to have to explain to my child that the playhouse is built but can only be used two months from now once the grass has fully grown. Additionally, grass tends to get worn paths quickly, leaving bare spots, and I really don’t want to deal with that.

Mulch was also dismissed fairly quickly. Proper wood chips are quite expensive.

We will now be adding about 8 tons of play sand, approximately 10 cm (4 inches) deep over the area. I plan to border it with round fence posts that can simply be placed upright as a natural edge.

how to measure 46.25 mm (1.82 inches)
Carpenters work with millimeter precision, joiners use centimeters, and bricklayers are just happy to stay within the property boundaries.

I can relate to House Construction 2.0 – or rather 1.0 when it comes to the first house built by myself. The exterior paint color will follow later – the homeowner still needs to choose samples. The same goes for additional features (swing, rope ladder, flower box, etc.).

Today, our fence was finally completed.

Yes, I know a welded wire mesh fence isn’t exactly a design masterpiece. But with 100 linear meters (330 feet), the budget just wouldn’t allow for more.

At least yours is in black. Our neighbors have one in green. That’s really hard on the eyes.

Hello,

Proper wood chips are very expensive

Tip:
Don’t buy the material at a hardware store, but directly from a fuel supplier. Wood chips are usually burned in large heating systems; their use for covering garden beds or playgrounds is secondary. Two weeks ago, I paid 30 euros for 1.5 m³ (53 cubic feet), so it’s doable...

Best regards,

Andreas
