Long, long ago, but since we are in the final sprint, here are a few updates. I think this is also interesting for those who, like us, have never had anything to do with crafts.
A lot has happened in the last 2.5 months:
(had to check again, it’s more than one update)
I’ll start somehow from the bottom up:
- completely renewed water and wastewater pipes (PVC)
- complete electrics including meter and network new
- windows and exterior doors (interior doors are ordered) new from the basement to the roof
- tiles in the hallway, cloakroom, kitchen new
- laminate in all other living rooms (except bathrooms)
- bathroom and guest bathroom with new screed and underfloor heating. Tiled halfway up
- all old walls filled, plastered, and sanded
- new radiators on the ground floor and upper floor
- roof half insulated, half expanded including heating
Current problems:
At the moment the heating is just on strike. But according to the heating engineer it is a known problem with this model. (Viessmann Vitodens WB3A. Gas combi regulator or an electrode)
Then today during the storm we noticed that it drafts quite a bit through the holes for the fittings in the bathroom. ........ I built the wall myself. A few Styrodur panels would have helped. Never mind, it just has to be sealed later when the tap is installed.
The third concern is my network distribution. I wanted to place the cabinet next to the electrical panel, but unfortunately it turned out that the wall is extremely thin and not load-bearing.
Well, there is still some time.
We had some highs and lows with the trades, but as of today, I am very satisfied and confident that moving in can take place without problems.
