The interior work begins
The construction workers have removed all the supports and wooden formwork; the interior work will begin next Monday.
The ceiling is made of concrete.
The ceiling is being concreted in bright sunshine. This is the last concrete work in this phase of construction.
Delivery of the blanket
The ceiling is delivered by crane – in less than ideal weather.
Repair of water damage
The repairs to the water damage on the upper floor – our guest room – are progressing.
High the wall
Slowly but surely the cold disappears, and bricklaying can get underway.
It goes on
After a two-week break due to the cold weather, construction work is picking up speed again. The supports that will later hold up the upper floors have been concreted.
The water damage will be repaired.
Work on repairing the water damage begins, first in the guest room, then in the rooms below. In the guest room, the floor has to be removed over a large area; the rooms below will be almost completely gutted.
The base plate – just in time for Christmas
The Schwab brothers and their friends gave it their all the day before Christmas Eve – and today I can present the result. A huge thank you to the team for their hard work!

The area is ready
Major progress: After the structurally important basket was laid deep in the ground and all drains were in place, you can see here the leveling layer on which the base slab will be concreted.
