Neph’s new house…

[Graeme]

The new windows look worth every Kroner you spent on them.

Is the cladding at the bottom of the house going to be given a trim?

[Giles]

No. I think he'll leave it like that

«Finished» was possibly an exaggeration [emoji1] The drainpipe will be replaced, the cladding painted, and trimmed and the foundation wall under it plastered. But the windows are in and the wall is sealed which is a big deal, I promise.

Nice window! That's where we took the photo, isn't it?

Yes indeed. I was almost sad to see that wood taken out, but I’ve taken care of it and will be using it as material in other parts of the house. 80 year old timber and still dry and strong…

This is would I have been doing last five months.

The rip out… the mess you make

Then few months later

Nearly there

Serious job @Kasi. Looking good.

My guys are a bit annoyed at having to work in the rain. They opened up a wall on Friday, and didn’t realise how much would have to be done… so they’re here today as well the poor buggers.

[neph93]

Still framing…

[Giles]

Loving the beer supply…...Or more likely empties.....

@neph93 I haven't been on here in a bit, you can see what I've been busy with over in the cars thread.  Any new progress on the house?  I'm looking forward to seeing it finished!

Thanks for you interest! There is progress on a number of fronts…

We got our TV bench finished (and had to buy a new TV to go on it…)

All windows and external doors have been changed…

And I anticipate the boarding will be finished before xmas.

I’m working away in the cellar, and hope that two bedrooms and the man cave will be fully operational before xmas too.

[Soleamp]

It looks like it is definitely coming along with some solid progress.  Looks great!

[neph93]

To much progress to document really… but here’s today’s job. We’ve extended the entré by a couple of square meters and I’ve built up the floor with impregnated chipboard and master board. The sparky was here on Friday so today I covered his heating cables to make ready for tiling next week.

It’s coming along bit by bit. We would love for you to see it. Whenever you’re ready!

I think this whole renovation was just to evo those jeans

They (and the side-project) look incredible!

Pretty much… [emoji2957]

The jeans got a real kicking today… first time I’ve ever done any tiling. If I’m lucky, I’ll be dead before I have to do it again [emoji28]

that does look like fun Reuben  ::)  ???

On the whole I enjoy the whole DIY/carpentry thing, but tiling is fekkin’ hard work. The best bit was having to buy an angle grinder with a diamond cutting disc to trim the buggers. Awesome bit of kit and thrillingly scary to use.
