Lots happened and more happening...

As I mentioned in the last post we hired professionals to do the drywall on the first floor. Unfortunately it ended up to be a challenging and conflictous experience. However, we put that behind us and are moving forward. I would dare to say things have picked up in speed lately, compared the hick-up rhythm we used to have. We are very happy about that. Here some pictures to get an idea ;).
Just before Christmas we got all the floors in and got hooked up to the electricity network and water!!! That was super exciting and such a life style change ;). The weeks before Christmas were very eventful and positively tiring. We really enjoyed the holiday in the new acquired comforts!
Feeling a bit more energized after the holidays, I decided to give it a try to do some wall tiling in the bathrooms. This morning there is also the plant filtration (septic) system happening!!!



The drywall on the first floor is happening!

almost done, it looks good, but unfortunately many
mistakes were made...however they were fixed as well
as possible and we are moving on...

Railing along the staircase whole, for less scares ;)

Terracotta tiles, from earth from over the hill and locally
baked in fire ovens.
And the kitchen floor is in!!
(And we also oiled it but it is not really visible in the picture.)
Parquet for the living room:

And it is in, it was as well oiled.

Some of my wall tiling!
(The floor was done by professional at the
same time as the terracotta tiles.)


Septic system in progress...
Septic system done, several layers of sand, gravel
 and pebbles and reeds, which
are still small but it works
already!
