Yesterday the basement received its EPDM membrane, today the insulation. Then the excavation pit will be refilled, and we have decided to install a rainwater cistern under the carport. That will be done together with the backfilling.
Then, according to plan, the carport will be prepared. The shell construction is again scheduled in my plan starting from 10/8. I think the parts simply won’t be ready and delivered before that.
I would have liked to build the retaining walls before backfilling so that the backfilling can be done at the correct height right away. At first, our house builder wasn’t enthusiastic about that, but recently he said it might actually make sense (I told you: constant dripping wears away the stone!). Maybe that could be done within the next two weeks. I still have to bring it up again.
Scaffolding erection is planned from 10/15, crane dismantling on 10/29-30, which means: the house will already be standing by then. Delivery of the windows is scheduled for 11/2. And then the interior work begins.
Completion was promised to us for February; I am assuming March as the realistic date when we can actually move in. We are moving within the same town with 5 house tigers. That means the creatures first have to stay in the house for a sufficiently long time to get used to the new home. For us that means: moving in only when the craftsmen are no longer coming and going.
