Our clocks are ticking faster than usually. By the end of this week the old part of the house is supposed to be gone. The new house is planned to be erected on next Monday, the 20th September. We can't tell how excited we are, but still reflective about the past of the house hosting generations of families. To honour the history of the house we recently decided to include a display cabinet in the new house "exhibiting" original pieces like the old typewriter we found. 
Within the next two days we are focussing on the demo of the remaining pipes and cables. Starting from Wednesday the final roof and construction demo will start. Keep your fingers crossed for better weather.

Welcome to our construction blog. Since our wedding in the begining of July we have been working on the demo of the older part of our house. This part has been where my father in law was born and grew up. Since the building fabric is not stable anymore, we have to do major renovation and rebuilts for the house. For the last 2 months we removed layer over layer of old wall claddings, construction wood, floorings, even bathrooms and the old kitchen. We have 9 days left to reduce the construction of the house to its absolute minimum, before it gets teared down completely. Within the next weeks and months we will keep you updated with recent pics of our construction journey, but also show you some older pictures of the house during the demo. The picture below shows the house during the last winter. Thanks for joining us on our journey and be our guests soon!
