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:

And here are the flat roofs sealed in the meantime, so hopefully no more water will penetrate now.


This image hopefully clearly demonstrates why I advise against those bay windows that end up creating such birdbaths.

The bay window itself isn’t the main problem; perhaps the building should simply have been widened a bit at the top. It’s true that this is not exactly an aesthetic feature. But it wasn’t completely unclear to us either, and it creates a dead corner that you don’t notice at all yourself.

Does this mean that the bay window was not important to you at all, and you just wanted more width on the ground floor at that spot compared to the upper floor?

That would be quite surprising, though....

No, the bay window was definitely desired. But maybe it could have been extended upwards.

So, the excavation is finished!
They really clean up the construction site nicely every day...

It looks like a huge house now, but more was dug up to install the sewer line; the two sewer pipes will go opposite the white tarp (from the existing building and ours). Fortunately, we are allowed to use the same already existing inspection chamber.
The existing building will also get a new sewer line because the current one would otherwise run underneath our house.
