Over the weekend, we were able to complete the perimeter insulation of the cellar. On Monday and Tuesday, compaction was then carried out directly with recycled material. Today, finally, the masonry work began.

Yesterday they grouted the exterior of our house. I am really curious to see how it looks when dry; the test grout looked noticeably lighter.
In addition, the front door and windows were adjusted/finalized.
The tiler is still working, but the bathroom is apparently finished.
More photos are on the blog, but I have decided to post the bathroom only when everything is done, with the washbasin and all the extras.

looks good! I like the windows
What is the link to your blog?

I really like the clinker! Nice house!

However, the scaffolding is a disaster. It's a shame that you keep seeing things like this on construction sites.

House now grouted outside.

What do you mean, "grouted"?
What kind of material is applied around the outside? Looks like roofing felt.
And what is it good for?

I only know the drainage method (which catches and drains the water further down)

... now I’ve looked a bit longer and understood:
The "roofing felt" is only there to catch the falling mortar. The brick joints are being grouted...

Yes, the color of the joint (light or dark) makes a big difference. I know that from a natural stone house that was newly re-grouted.
Afterwards it was like a "new" house

You will still have fun cleaning the windows
