Completed pantry / kitchen wall
Amazingly, this wall will now soon look like this:
Standing by the back door looking into the pantry
Looking into the living room from the front terrace.
(That wall is for our walk-in closet.)
And, the wall for the back bedroom was started.
And, the builders had marked out the walls for the children's bath.
And, Joern was doing this:
Then, Alex came to check out the walls. He told us that the balconies and crane will
probably go next week. And then, he and Joern had a big discussion
about central vacuums.
And by the time we left the house, at 4:30, the builders were still hard at work, and we had definite rooms!
The front bedroom
It has been so exciting to watch the walls go up. Now that we have rooms, we've noticed that some things are just as we had imagined, and other things were way different. For example, the unnamed room in the first floor actually looks like a cozy guest bedroom. The living room is a little smaller than I had imagined, but is completely appropriately sized for a living room. Our foyer and stair case to the second floor are really huge and give you such an open feeling. The first bedroom upstairs is acceptable for a bedroom (I thought it would be too small.) But, the master suite is just as I had imagined.
All in all, it looks like things are winding down with the builder, and we'll enter a small hibernation period as we wait for the windows. Perfect timing, as we'll be heading to the States in a little over a week, and when we return, its time to work on the Richtfest!
