I`ve painted the walls and laid the new oak floor in the kitchen. It`s not 100% alike the one in the livingroom (that was laid 20 years ago) – but pretty damn close. The livingroom has also been cleaned up in order to make room for bathtub, toilet, shower cabinet and other stuff – that hopefully is on it`s way right now.

Hopefully only 3-4 weeks left until pretty much everything is up and running.

Renovation chaos

A few steps forward and a few back. The tiles in the bathroom is in place, so is the insanely huge mirror I`ve put in there. other than that it`s been a bit of chaos, lots of leaks in the basement because of the unfinished plumbing there. A few poweroutages because of unfinished electrical wireing. And a few compromises regarding design and details.

Walls – ladies and gentlemen, we have walls!

13. September.

It`s been a little while since the last update, and the reason is that I somehow lost my camera in the mess I still like to call my home. Yesterday I found it again, and here`s some pictures I took about 2 weeks ago.

After this I spent about a week putting litex on the walls and getting membran all over the walls. Unfortunatly I don`t have any pictures of that bloody mess.

Renovation – at the turningpoint between tearing things down and building them back up

11. September

since last we`ve gotten a new concrete floor, new sheetrock ceiling, and some beams up that hopefully will be actual walls at some point.

After the floor was laid down my father informed me that it will take 6 weeks until it`s dry. that`s 6 additional weeks without bathroom, kitchen or… well.. a home.

My personal hygiene has degenerated to the level that I don`t care when I`m dirty anymore. Showering a couple of times a week seems to be enough right now. Atleast for me, not sure if my girlfriend would agree – if she was here.

Renovation – back on track

30. August.

Now the roof is gone too, and all the good old isolation/dust/concrete that was hiding there. Me and my father was itching for about a week while doing that job – never again.

This weekend my girlfriend Henriette/Henna is visiting from Oslo to help me out, I guess we could have done a lot more if we did`nt go to that party on friday – but then again we would`nt had that much fun.
