Old building renovation, house built in 1916, multi-family house converted to single-family home, experiences

I haven’t posted any pictures of our house online yet. With a 100m2 semi-detached house, you don’t really compete with the luxury mansions in the thread either

Nope, go ahead. Hic Rhodus, hic salta (no "chickening out" about nice things without pictures)!

I have not posted any pictures of our house online so far. With a 100m2 townhouse, you don’t impress anyone among the luxury mansions in that thread either :eek: :D

I would love to see it :) We just bought a mid-terrace house and are therefore very interested. I have meanwhile learned that there is absolutely no need to be "ashamed" of a townhouse ;)

I'll think about it. We're not finished yet either. The front door is still missing, 3 windows, the new plaster on the ground floor, new canopies, repainting the facade, and much more. But we'll cover the rest from ongoing income, and that's how it goes step by step.

By the way, I'm not ashamed of our house at all, I love our little house and am closely connected to the old lady, precisely because we did most of it ourselves :). But for some, 100m2 end-of-terrace house for 4 people falls under social housing :D.

I am thinking about it. We are not finished yet. The front door is still missing, 3 windows, the new plaster on the ground floor, new canopies, repainting the facade and much more. But we are covering the rest with the current income and so it goes step by step. By the way, I am not ashamed of our house at all,

I always like to look at the local de facto construction blog by - there is nothing to be ashamed of. Like-minded people who have not yet found the courage need exactly such encouragements to copy!

I like to take a look at that too. Unfortunately, I missed such a construction blog. We have been tinkering since May 2017. And I kind of like it :cool:.

One more tip about the craftsmen: Ask the companies about other companies they often work with. If they know each other, the collaboration often works better. Not infrequently, they are family members. For example, we got our chimney sweep through the sanitary company because he is his cousin.

That’s a good tip! Thanks! Of course, we want to preserve what is worth preserving. But the house should also meet the new standard afterwards. I don’t want to heat for the neighbor because of poor insulation and walk around all day in thick socks in winter. I will take photos as soon as possible. I would be very happy about exposed timber framing. Let’s see what awaits us.
