Visitors

OK, so the kids was not playing in the mud all the time of our last visit. They also wanted to do some inspection, just like us. Here they are checking out the roof from the outside. They seem to be quite proud of it now, when it looks almost like a real house.


Also it turned out that someone else was visiting the house beside us: The neighbours cat, which here does a death defying balancing act on the second floor. Without the floor.


Of course, now that both dad and the cat had been checking out the second floor, Bastian and Beatrice also wanted to see. So they bravely climbed a ladder to inspect their rooms. Here Bastian makes friends with the cat.


Beatrice also checked out her room. I think it is hard for them to picture what it will look like when it is an actual room here, instead of empty space without even a floor...


Here is a view of the livingroom, much like it will look from the second floor railing (which will be placed above the red beam). In the end there will be only the two triangular windows on the sides. The hole seen at the top is not supposed to be a window.

And here is how the roof frames look like from the inside after covering.


We initially thought we would have quite some room at the attic, with plenty of headroom, which was how it seemed on the initial sketches. Great, we thought, for storing things such as christmas stuff, or winter clothes. But now we realize that it will be a close to useless space.

Now, I think we will have a hard time even crawling there, because it will also be filled with a lot of insulation (60 cm / 24").
