Renovation of Existing Property - Our Way to the House

Oh, the stained glass window, I had never noticed it until now (or it was only open in the pictures). May it stay?

The window was a self-made construction by the first owner. Unfortunately, just a steel frame with broken glass set in concrete. Thermally and in terms of tightness, a disaster.

We thought for a long time about whether it could be preserved somehow. In the end, it became a new window after all. A proud 8 weeks delivery time from an online retailer in Thuringia and produced by third parties in Poland (which you don't find out on the website). It is a Rehau Synego Classic, triple-glazed.

After the experiences in the basement, we did everything ourselves.

Removal

Installation



We still have to plaster outside provisionally until next year when the other two follow and the grille can also be removed.


Recently the windowsill arrived, so now the missing plaster inside can be done.

Once everything is nicely plastered, you can start making holes in the wall again. In this case, for the heater and socket.


Also plaster the remaining wall


And pour the screed


After a long drying period, the pipes for the upper floor can be installed


In the windbreak, plastering, chasing, and replastering were also done




(the red paste is a bonding agent)

Next up is the front wall. Basically, everything is spatially at the limits of the standards. Especially when working with through-discs and circulation, and also when the electrical wiring for the upper floor needs to pass through.

A good bundle of cables arrives on the upper floor, which still had to find its way to the attic.

In the meantime, there was a direct view from there down to the basement.

Now the ventilation has been reconnected.


Only the leveling compound is missing:


Now we have to wait until January; until then, the tiler has no time.

I like it. Good use of space in the guest WC. Certainly very fiddly to lay everything out :)

But how about soundproofing? Wouldn't you have needed an edge insulation strip or something for the leveling compound? I also would have decoupled the pre-wall, WC element, etc. acoustically. I think my plumber solved that quite nicely with the GIS system.
