Slowly but surely advancing

It has been an a long time since my last update. So here finally one again! It is going to be a summary as usual.We have been slowly  working away. There has been a lot of  repetitive detail work, and also the usual unplanned waiting times. The waiting times seems to be trickiest for us.
We have ups and downs as expected. However, we have come to realization that it is getting more and more difficult to keep our spirits up. The learning curves are steep and we are getting impatient to advance a bit faster and to have more comfortable living space for when the colder seasons are coming. For this and other reasons, we recently decided to take a bit more professional help than we intended to finish the drywall of the first floor.

Here some snippets of our the progress: 

The second layer of insulation and the  rails are in to screw on the drywall...



While we were working they came to dig the trench
for the electricity. But the house is still not hooked up,
it will be hooked up only at the end.

The electrical cables are coming in...this is just the beginning.
We must have given up taking pictures, because I don't find any
with more cables, but there were many more...
The first door!!



The drywall!

Another door :)...
The plastering! We didn't do the plastering ourselves,
but the sanding... I will just say, I am glad it is over...

This is the first floor. Our first plumbing is in!!
After this came the ceiling, and now the walls. 
Pictures will follow...


The ceiling!
More coming soon...
