we are not finished yet but there are a few things I already couldn’t do without:
- my hobby room in the basement with a projector and enough space for a pool table, I’m actually looking forward to that room the most
- our wood stove, heated for the first time today, looks great
And something intangible - the personal effort/the doing it yourself. Even if it sometimes costs nerves, a lot of time and energy goes into it, somehow in the end it’s still nice to know that, for example, the wall was built and plastered by yourself.
