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.

About 500 euros in total. More than half of that was spent on the exterior HPL panels.
The base consists of frame elements made from 6 x 4 cm (2.4 x 1.6 inch) lumber. It is important to attach these with brackets rather than directly screwing them together. If you want to cover the frame with individual panels instead of large sheets, careful planning is needed so that each panel rests on a frame element on all four sides. With this approach, it is crucial that everything is assembled exactly at right angles and, if necessary, aligned using clamps; otherwise, the panels will not be mounted evenly. For stability across the width, screwed shelves and possibly braces are necessary, especially if one end is to be a door.
The number of brackets and screws should not be underestimated—I used 120 brackets and nearly 1000 screws. The HPL panels must be pre-drilled and fastened with flat-head screws that are at least 1 cm (0.4 inch) narrower than the drill hole. For the roof, I used 15 mm (0.6 inch) thick plywood panels at a rafter spacing of 50 cm (20 inches). The back wall consists of OSB-3 boards that I painted twice over. The frame was primed twice and painted twice on all weather-exposed sides. Construction time was about 40 hours. The most important tools were a miter saw and a stationary drill press. Without some experience and these tools, I would expect it to take around 80 hours.

This is a special moment. The other one, the laying of the foundation stone, will follow. I would celebrate that, had several things built in, a coin, a small bronze Madonna, KarstenWe need to think about that sometime [emoji4]Similar topics
