All rooms have walls

For the first time in weeks we visited the house yesterday afternoon, and took some pictures.

We have been busy with the children being ill and home from school, and at the same time deciding a million details for the house, such as electricity (number and placement of outlets, switches, dimmers, spotlights, indoor and outdoor lamps etc.), plumbing (placement of the upstairs radiators, type of faucets etc.), tiling for bathrooms and kitchen, finalizing the layout and design of the kitchen (number and placement of drawers and cabinets) and so on…

All rooms now have their walls. They are still open to one side, so the electrician can do his job next week, putting wires in the walls.

The most fun was seeing the rooms on the second floor. One can now walk around safely upstairs, because there is now a floor. Still no stairway though. It will be one of the last things installed, because it will stand on the parquet flooring, which is not to be installed for months.

This is the upstairs bathroom (to the left) and one of the bedrooms.

Here a few pictures turning left in the upstairs hall.

We decided on much larger windows facing south, and they really do let in a lot of light!

The only one who didn’t like these windows was Dan the Builder, but that was just because the window balcony were complicated to install, with lots of parts.

As a comparison, here are the normally sized windows on the opposite wall.

Here is a better view of the two side-by-side bedrooms.

This is how one of the three upstairs bedrooms look, they are all the same.
