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:

By now (one year after moving in), we have also paved and installed a porch roof.

Congrats... How is the water drainage, actually? Can it flow away properly?

I think the barrels are placed a bit awkwardly, aren’t they? (Because of flies, etc.)

The water drains off the house roof perfectly.

The situation with the bins is correct – however, because of our neighbor who isn’t building, we couldn’t place the edge stones all the way to the property boundary due to the sloping ground. If the area is filled up again at some point, the edge stones will be removed, the remaining paving will be installed, and then a bin enclosure will be added. We didn’t want to drill into the paving at the current location of a box.

Here, we’ve made great progress again, steadily moving toward the targeted goal...


Blue drilling rig with crane next to house, several hoses lying on the ground

Two boreholes, each 110 m (360 feet) deep, for the brine-to-water heat pump


Wooden panel plank floor pattern on a wall, cardboard box with label and blank white sheet.

My new floor ;-)


Renovation room with exposed wooden beams, tools, boxes, and pipes.



Renovation room with exposed floor joists, green pipes and cables, ladder in the background.



Building subfloor: wooden frame floor, green flexible conduit, tools, and boxes.



Edge timbers were leveled using a construction laser, then beams were screwed underneath and aligned perfectly with brackets, always placing sections of protective building mats underneath as cushioning.

Tomorrow we will start insulation -> 140 mm (5.5 inches) mineral wool with a thermal conductivity of 0.032 W/(m·K) plus 60 mm (2.4 inches) at 0.035 W/(m·K) (the latter placed between the 60 mm (2.4 inches) cross beams), followed by 18 mm (0.7 inches) OSB (then later 1.5 mm (0.06 inches) impact sound insulation plus parquet flooring as shown above).

And finally stairs, although they are not completely finished yet, and already the base of the balcony.

Exterior steel staircase attached to a white house; construction area and residential neighborhood in the background.


Two-story house under construction with metal scaffolding, ladder, and solar panels on the roof.


And here is a small insight into how the smart home patch cabling will look.

Yellow network cable bundle hanging on a metal rack in the server cabinet; blue cables next to it.


Control cabinet: white terminal block on DIN rail, yellow cables beside it.


Top and bottom are recesses for the punch-down blocks (LSA strips) to snap in, with drilled openings including cable glands for strain relief. Of course, it’s a bit of work to do this for every cable, but it’s a small series for the 4 housing units 😎. So I can work a bit more efficiently than on a one-off project.

Great! Sorry @i_b_n_a_n if I missed it somewhere, but which heating system are you installing? Obviously not underfloor heating...
i_b_n_a_n21 Jul 2021 23:18
Correct, the wall heating is already installed 😀
