And it starts again (very, very fast ...)!

After this little (!) administrative interruption, work was officially authorized to resume from Monday.

As promised by Wolfgang, things should go fast ...

How fast?

Judge by yourself.

Back from my two days in Hanover, Sylvie and I did our usual evening visit.

And what changes we discovered on this Tuesday evening, after only two days of work:

- Windows installed (except the large bay at the end of the container, but that is planned by the schedule),
- Roof membrane installed, finishings underway,
- Exterior insulation underway.

Let's see all this in pictures.

A panoramic view (you can do a lot of funny stuff with a camera!) of the house from the south.
Note that the southeast corner and the part around the windows of the kitchen and bedroom will be covered with the same Douglas wood siding as the container, and will be carried out (soon!) during installation of this cladding:



North facade (with its 2 small windows, to limit heat loss through this facade without sun):



Details of the outer insulation system and of a window.
The layer of rockwool between the wood pieces bolted to the caisson wall is now covered by the layer of wood-wool nailed to the battens, and this wood-wool (hardboard) is already coated with the bonding layer to receive the final plaster layer.
Windows (triple glazing) are mounted in their frames, we see here the exterior dark gray aluminum finish, which will protects against external aggressions (UV, rain, ...) the wooden structure of these "composite" windows.
And again and again, the green tape which ensures airtightness of the building ...



View of structure for the large bay of the container:


The first floor, from inside, with windows:


And here is our roof, covered his the final membrane, over the fabric-bitumen layer.
Note the "through-the-roof outlets" for the different ventilation exits, and the finishing framing around the roof being installed:
