They're Building Walls Around Us

Today we managed to take some photos of the walls, in the dusk around 16:45.

A bit noisy, due to the old cameraphone and the low lighting, but a bit of digital retouching made them look not too bad.

(Edit: I noticed now that these pictures are clickable, opening up a much larger image, but the images on previous posts does not show a larger image, why I don't know.)
The first picture is looking towards the south from the parking space.

We where told by Dan the Builder that this was one of the most annoying houses he has had the pleasure of working with, because of the combination of the size of the wall elements, it was necessary to to saw off bits and pieces of almost every wall element to cut holes for our many windows and doors. Normally they'd be finished by now.




This next photo is taken from the opposite side of the house looking northwards, with the bathroom closest, and our bedroom next to it where Jeka is standing.


Here we can see Jeka looking into our living room.


And an unfocused image of the westwards view out of our living room. From the second floor we will probably have a nice view of the island of Ven.

The second floor is opened up above the living room, which will hopefully give it a sense of open space, instead of an echo chamber. ;-)

In the middle between the two large windows we will have a
woodburning stove (with a chimney).


This is the view from the hall approximately, looking at our bedroom (with the long window) in the middle.

Almost every room looked ridicusly small, are they really large enough? We've been told it's a mind trick played on us by the garden gnomes. I hate garden gnomes.


This is a view from outside, where our patio (terrace?) is supposed to be later. I'm looking at the two smaller windows where our staircase to the second floor will be.



One of the smaller window will end up below the "platform" halfway up the stairs, where one turns around to ascend the second half of the stairs (I bet you get the picture :-) ?), and one above it.
