Fridge with beer tap? I think and remember had talked about making some deal with her hubby about that...

There’s so much out there… I had pushed that out of my mind :D

What is that large appliance in the corner of the kitchen? It has such strange taps..

That is a normal refrigerator that my husband converted into a "beer fridge" as a hobby brewer. It's one of our running gags that my husband asked me after a few days of marriage if it would bother me if he drilled "two small holes" into our fridge. ;-) I then suggested that he better buy a new fridge instead of "hole-punching" our only fridge. ;-)

Looks practical ...
Red beer and blue beer?
No, seriously: Two different types?

Yes, usually 1x pilsner and 1x Indian Pale Ale. Sometimes also wheat beer.

This year the facade will be insulated like this.
16 cm EPS base insulation up to 80 cm above the ground level or 10 cm below the windowsill, reinforced and then covered with old clinker slips.
Above that, 12 cm mineral wool (nothing else available) with wooden substructure and floor/base battens made of larch with Scandinavian window boxes. (I didn’t feel like drawing all of them, so they are missing in the sketch and I couldn’t find a vertical wood pattern as a texture.)

At the moment, the base is insulated all around once and the clinker is at least 25 running meters / 20 m² out of 35 m². Joint mortar is on the way.
Downpipes will of course be new as well. The roof is old but doesn’t matter since the ceiling floor is insulated and the attic is cold. So it will probably stay as it is, maybe it will be thoroughly cleaned again to match the new facade.

New status, 50% of the house finished. This summer’s vacation was unexpectedly full of travel, so I’ve only worked on everything in the evenings for 1-2 hours and occasionally on weekends for 1-3 hours. Pointing the clinker is actually a very relaxing job if the seating is comfortable and there’s no time pressure. So far it has been about 140 working hours for 100 m². Only a few battens above the windows in the last picture and the downpipes are still missing. They are already there, I just have to shorten and mount them, so about 3-4 hours in total.
The old blue wooden fence will be replaced in summer, but for now it has to stay so the chickens can’t escape (they can’t fly).
The pink chalk on the battens is by the way a test by my daughter to see how it looks. If it looks good, I’ll have to paint the whole house like that :)

Now until the end of November the second half will first be fitted with EPS (30 m²) and clad with substructure + insulation (70 m²) and plaster or foil with battens applied. This goes quickly and in winter I’ll see how warm it is and when I can get to the clinker work.

Hey that looks pretty cool. I like the combination of this [Klinker] and wood. Stylish thing!
