Hanging house in the Southwest Palatinate - Our House Construction 2.0

I will check the angle once the slide is removed.

I also have a little update. Since yesterday, the top coat plaster is on. We looked at these sheets for an unbelievably long and annoying 3 months. You don't really imagine it like that, but it is really oppressive in the long run. And at night you constantly feel like "someone is at the window" because they move in the wind. So annoying. But I can't blame the guys either because it has basically been raining continuously since mid-October. I've rarely experienced weather like this.

When the first frost came, I started cutting off the first sheets on my own because I thought it wouldn't work out this year anyway. Not even 2 weeks later, it got mild again and FINALLY somewhat dry – and then unexpectedly the plasterers showed up at the door and taped everything back up. :rolleyes: :D On the one hand, I'm glad when we're finished. On the other hand, I can think of a cooler time to have completely covered windows than the pre-Christmas season. But I warned them yesterday that we are getting visitors from Australia at the end of the week, and we hired an expensive photographer to come to our house the week after, and I will cut everything open again at the latest over the weekend. I offered them to tape it up again if they let me know before they come. But I definitely won't look at this anymore over Christmas. Such a visit only happens once every few years, I don't want to see ugly, plaster- and blood-smeared sheets in the background of every photo. The boss also immediately said (besides "when is the visit? Oh dear. You're killing me..." :D), that they might come and paint by the end of the week. Once it's painted, it's done, the thing. =)




Merry Christmas season to you all. =)

Since yesterday, the top coat plaster has been applied.

There is already a separated coat visible - is it supposed to stay that way, what about my fresh color suggestions?

There is already a demarcated coat of paint visible - is it meant to stay that way, what about my fresh color suggestions?

I hardly dare admit it, but I cold-heartedly stole the facade color from . I just passed the color number straight on to the facade guy. I was overwhelmed by the choice at some point, too lazy to drive through any housing developments, and to be honest, I didn't really care. :D So we roughly knew we wanted something neutral in the direction of sand/taupe, and among the shades, one was as good as the other to me, and whenever I thought I liked something, the family said they found it ugly. :rolleyes: I can't really warm up to plaster anyway, visually I miss my Frisian house from the outside. I hope to enhance this one with green plants around the house. Although I have to say, the topcoat looks pretty good up close. The demarcated part below is some kind of base plaster. Almost all houses here have that. It's probably somehow set off darker in a gray tone. "Something that looks good with your color," said the plasterer.

I had basically suggested that in post #531 ...

... maybe – here I come back again to post #526 – the gray of the front door from ?

They even seem to have painted the base in the same color. That would also be an option.
