Interior work and watertight roof

After the spectacular moments of July, construction is now entering a phase more measured but of no less importance: the "details".
Details?
We shall not reduce the value to what is being done, quite the contrary!
For it is all these "details" that will make our home comfortable and give it its soul ...

 
But there is now a multitude of works going on, all orchestrated by Wolfgang from Renken, for the main structural work (to summarize crudely), in close cooperation with the peoples from Macken & Sonhs, responsible now for the "technical" stuff (sanitary, plumbing and heating/ventilation systems).


Today, images of the fellow who came to smooth our brick walls with a beautiful, compact and smooth coat of facing, here in the first floor.







Meanwhile, it dries quietly on the ground floor:


Thanks to him for his great work!

Great news: our house now has a really waterproof roof!
The large red tarp did not prevented a little water to sneak-in between the house and the container (it rained soooooo much in August!...) , but this is past memory now.

 
Er ... well, I confess I was a bit surprised when I discovered this beautiful (?) asphalt surface:


 
Indeed, being covered with a crude oil by-product is not to seduce me ...
But (again a problem of comprehension!) I had only half of the "thing": a high-tech gray membrane (the real one, this time) will cover this black thing and will not pose any pollution problem to my rainwater with oil released by the asphalt simmering slowly under the sun.
This layer of asphalt layer will be the glue of the membrane onto the roof.
Ok, let's go for a bit of squeezed oil, then.
