Home Sweet Home

Every house where love abides

And friendship is a guest,

Is surely a home, and home sweet home

For there the heart can rest.

- Henry Van Dyke

A new adventure has begun for our family... the home adventure... after months of planning and decision-making, the house building started early August... here are some photos to see how it has developed since it started.

It is a pre-fabricated house made by Kampa AG with energy-saving technology featuring a warm-outside-air pump that gathers heat from the warmest room of the house and pumps it all over the house as well as installations for solar plates (that would come later when we have money to spare). It has 3-bedrooms on the first floor and a large cellar that can be a hobby room or a big guest room. It has a winter-garden and floor heating.

PHASE 1

From scratch, the soil was dug and it was prepared for the laying of the foundation at the end of August. The cement for the foundations were made a week after, on early September. The walls of the cellar were delivered on September 10 (which my boss found amusing with me asking him something like "Chief, can I take leave? They are bringing my cellar...")

PHASE 2

On 17 September, they delivered the rest of the house and the workers put together all the elements like a huge lego puzzle in 1 day. The finishing would come later on together with installations and other things.

At the end of the day, they were able to put part of the roof and the scaffolding for the workers were done on the same day by another company

And the story continues...
