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.

The blue is nice, but I feel like Tego: I’m afraid that eventually people might get tired of it. That’s why we’re going with a neutral white and anthracite-colored floor tiles. The color will come from towels and accessories, and if I want a new color later, it’s easy to change.
So, a lot is happening here, but you can’t really see it.
The drainage was installed, the house connection (and yes, it goes through the concrete slab), and now the geothermal pipes with ground activation have been laid and immediately covered with sand. So right now it looks more like a beach. The white lines at the back are from the geothermal pipes:
Next comes the insulation (the pink boards you can see at the edges), then an EPDM membrane, and on top of that the wooden subfloor.

Yes, under the foundation slab. I just know that pipes are installed there. In summer, excess energy is fed back into the ground, warming it up (reactivating it), so that you don’t end up with a cold cellar.
If the sand isn’t on top yet, it looks like this (different project, not our house):

He has been doing this for several years and has gathered good experience. We were convinced by the concept.
An acquaintance built with him in 2006, using “conventional” geothermal energy without soil activation. Apart from the fact that we did not like the resulting limitations (no deep-rooted plants, etc.) and also did not have enough space for it, in his case the garden stays covered with snow or ground frost noticeably longer in spring than the neighboring properties. So you can clearly see that heat is being drawn from the ground. That was one reason why we initially decided against geothermal energy. Now, with this concept, we were able to choose geothermal energy again.
Since there are already several homeowners who have implemented the concept and all are enthusiastic about it, I no longer feel like a pioneer of a new concept.
More so with the wooden basement, where there are still not many.
