Interior view 2

Finished painting. Finally. Thought we would never get there.

And of course we need to put another dining table and chairs.

Upstairs

Just had a marmoleum flooring done on the mezzanine.

One year

Exactly one year ago, groundworks kicked off. We're definitely not going to win the prize for the fastest construction ever.

Meanwhile, we're glad that the fifth and final door was finally installed last Friday. Our cottage is now windproof and doors are locked - finally.

Inside, the screed floor was covered with a Bolidtop flooring system and the fireplace was installed.

Royal ferns unrolling their stems

While in the back, preparations are being made to apply a two component flooring system inside.

Shower with no water

Gradually starting with the interior furnishing, although we're still waiting for the outside to be finished.

Sand-cement screed

And here's the result of the screeding.

The floor now needs to rest and dry for several weeks.

Screeding in progress

This Friday, the floor heating tubes got burried under a sand-cement screed.

Red 'n Blue

Self-explanatory I would say.

Warm in winter

The Polyurethane foam has been covered by several hundreds of meters of tube that make out the warm water underfloor heating system.

Man on the moon

Spraying layers of polyurethane foam to insulate the floor.

First cables

... have been installed.
And indeed, it was a last minute decision to plan for 2 extra sockets in the floor.

Let the sun shine in ...

Spent part of Saturday cleaning up, in anticipation of the insulation works.

Concrete

Holidays are over. Last week the concrete slab was finished.

The platform

A better view on the frame of the steel platform.

Construction works continued today

The steel platform is being assembled.
Here, as seen from the back.

The concrete floor

That is the concrete elements that will be turned into the floor soon.
