#1735² CONSTRUCTION – S2 E7 – THE HOLE UNDERNEATH THE DOOR

What sounds like a horror movie story is in fact a very tragic case of procrastination. Last year when we have moved one of my doors to another wall, there was this hole underneath it. A hole full of dust and little stones. A hole I wanted to close for…

#1573² CONSTRUCTION – S2 E6 – THE REST

To be honest, everything that came after the movement of the door was nothing too serious. Putting on some wall paper, painting the walls, moving in, I shouldn’t write about that. It’s easy! Everyone knows how to do that. So I can say just this, take some time off and…

#1558² CONSTRUCTION – S2 E5 – MOVING THE DOOR

Draw a line where the new door should be located. Make sure the measurement is correct! Check twice or more often. Start with drilling through the wall to get a starting point. We decided to drill the area out of the wall and don’t cut it. We wanted to avoid…

#1543² CONSTRUCTION – S2 E4 – THE START

Just start the damn thing. It’s not that hard, is it? I like to start early in the morning, but that’s just me. You can start whenever you want, of course. I guess the only thing we have to keep in mind is to stick to the plan. There is…

#1527² CONSTRUCTION – S2 E3 – PREPARATION

It comes naturally to us that we want to be prepared. And so, why don’t we give in to our inner self and actually do that? What tools will we be using? What materials do we need? Where do we put the building rubble? It sounds not really like an…

#1513² CONSTRUCTION – S2 E2 – THE PLAN

We should always start with a plan. But for this small project the plan was simple. We had to move the entry of the room from one side to the other. Meaning that you have to check if that’s even possible. Where are the electric and water lines in the…

#1499² CONSTRUCTION – S2 E1 – THE SECOND PROJECT

Finally it’s time to talk about the second project. It’s not the project I did next, but it’s the one I want to talk about next. This time around it’s another renovation project. Just a bit smaller in the needed effort. The task? Changing the entry to the room to…

#1410² CONSTRUCTION – S1 E8 – SMALL DETAILS
Sometimes the little things matters, sometimes they don’t. In a renovation project the little things make the big things even better. That’s why after the basic tasks you have to focus on the little things. Skirting boards, paint corrections and cable channels. Nothing is perfect and nothing will ever be…

#1393² CONSTRUCTION – S1 E7 – NEW FLOOR
I guess the times are over in which someone had to explain how this step is gone. Honestly, everybody knows how this works. There are click systems out there that are as easy to work with as it can get. You just choose a floor that you like and off…

#1377² CONSTRUCTION – S1 E6 – FLOOR ISOLATION
After the walls were ready it was time to focus on the floor. Due to the reason that there is a garage below, thermal isolation is the way to go. There was already an isolation installed, combined with a tiled floor. The only problem? It wasn’t thick enough. Therefore we…
