: I like it very much! What kind of roof does the house have?

Flat roof

There’s really a new development area by you. New huts and cranes everywhere around. If necessary, the construction worker can borrow a hammer next door – that’s cool.

Yes, interestingly, almost all the spots in the upper, flat part of the new development area are already built on, and in the lower part with the slope, we are only the fourth out of about 12 spots. Also cool is that all the families are very young. Almost all between 27 and 35 years old...

Now they are. I have a settlement near me where whole streets are now over 70, but as builders they were all "equally young" back then. When they all later take the same nursing service, it will practically

So, on Friday it was the big day for us when our wooden cellar was supposed to be built. The forecast was initially quite bad weather and we had to worry whether it would work out. And it was not fixed until Thursday noon when the truck with the parts would arrive. Early? That would be best, then we could finish on Friday. Otherwise, work was supposed to continue on Saturday morning.

And then we were just doubly lucky: the truck was supposed to come pretty early, between 7 and 8 a.m., and the weather on Friday would hold! Wind picking up in the afternoon, but no rain! Great!

Since a wooden cellar is still quite exotic, we also had a professional photographer at the construction site who was very excited because the sky was so blue and he just couldn’t stop his photography frenzy. We will also get his photos, but since I will only receive them as a private person, I will not post any of them here. So you have to live with my amateur pictures. In addition, an older couple from Lake Constance came all the way to see it. They discovered the [Staudenschreiner] and his wooden cellar on the internet and are very enthusiastic and considering having something like that built themselves. So, there was quite a lot going on here with us. I was not at the construction site all the time either because I had other appointments, so there are also occasional jumps in the sequence.

What lies here in front of the crane will be our cellar (Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of the low loader that brought it to us, as I wasn’t there yet; but it must have blocked the road until the parts were unloaded):


First, the base slab had to be laid:


Profile of the base slab:


Then the base slab was finished:


A strip was nailed all around; the groove on the edge then receives the side walls:


Then the walls were marked out; really to the tenth of a millimeter exactly:


Then we walked over the base slab and initially had the impression that the house was too small and that you surely wouldn’t be able to store anything in these tiny rooms.
We then reminded ourselves that the base slab has more square meters than our current apartment and, yes, of course we know that it always seems like it is too small. Even when you know it, you stand there and think: did we really plan this correctly???

Advantage of timber construction: this is proven on the very same day, since the walls come and also the “lid” above it and you can truly and realistically experience your rooms.

So the walls were erected:



Fitting the exterior wall:


Fits!


Then I had an appointment again and had to leave...

That's crazy.. Was it that much cheaper than a concrete basement, or what was decisive here

When I came back, the ceiling was already being installed:


A ceiling comes flying in:


Only the last piece is missing for the complete ceiling:


Then I went down to get a first feel for the room:

This will be the workshop!

So, now it’s finished:

Only the hole for the staircase is still there!

Downstairs it looks like this now:


This will be the guest room; the window is already pre-cut, so you can see it.

And our fear that the rooms might be too small was of course completely unfounded. They are very well proportioned and absolutely sufficient!
And it smells so good!
We are totally thrilled
