The cellar stands

This week was set up the cellar. Punctually at the Mo. 8:00 moved forward 3 men of the company Romberger and it the mat foundation were concreted.

Di. we let the road close one day long for the crane (times to see whether me my neighbours still so friendly to greet; -) and in the evening all walls and the cover were transferred! Mi. was outside isolated (8cm Perimeterdämmung) and today (DO.) the cellar is sealed and the light pits is installed - finished! So far I to judge know mad work was carried out!

A laborious day…

Actually house-builds already is a laborious venture, but there are days, there became dearest one…
There we beside an existing house build and the distance for a division of property are too small establish we the house in the “residential property” (as normally also with double or terraced houses one makes) for it need one a “utilizable value appraisal” from an expert. That calls me today and states I must a layout plan with the drawn in garden portions of the municipality approve let!?!
I telephoned then all day long and my notary as well as a civil geo meter and several people, who have even a house in the property say that that are not correct! Also my municipal office says that they cannot approve anything, because there is to approve it to there nothing! Now I must convince either my expert or look for a new… aaaarrrg!
Around today also still which constructional to posts I hang the sketches of Ergdgeschoss and upper floor on, those wanted I for a long time posts: -)
Supplement: The ground floor I updated, in the upper floor tunes the furnishing not yet completely and the small 14m ² - room becomes the parents bedroom.
