House Pictures Chat Corner - Show off your house pictures!

We are making progress with the tiles.

Rare clinker.

Reminds me of the past.

do you mean ours? This shade is not found very often in the region - it is a bit redder than it appears in the photos here.

You can also break out half bricks and in the end the edge will be plastered anyway, then everything is fine.

Basically yes. But I really wonder what kind of special school dropouts work at some construction companies. Using Poroton in the door frame where aerated concrete should be, well okay. But not also calcium silicate bricks. It can be done if necessary, yes. But why talk beforehand about how it should be done?

Of course, they should at least – and I do not see that on the photo at least – first make a break (joint) there and secondly of course also a lintel. I would drive nails into the upper corners (both on the house and garage side), which can later be easily located in the plaster. And/or measured.

The calcium silicate brick will definitely not be laid flush with the door lintel.

No, a 2 cm separation/expansion joint is intended there.

So after 5 days the ground floor and garage are standing...

The ceiling is coming on Tuesday. We are curious how quickly the other trades will progress and especially when the topping-out ceremony will be since we are going on vacation during the first two weeks of July. [emoji848]

Regarding the third picture: what was the reasoning behind positioning the shower drain at the front and not (as usual?) at the back towards the wall?

When showering, water naturally splashes forward as the shower is open. This water therefore finds its way more easily into the drain than the other way around.
