day 2 - The roof is on top

The roof isn't finished but at least the house is waterproof.

day 1 - The HOUSE is here!

6.20 am J arrived to our lot this morning. On the lot a carpenter had already started to shovel some snow off the foundation.



Soon the big stuff arrived and of course some more workers.






It was hard work all day since the house had to be up before dark. But still there were time for "fika" breaks.

Below you can follow the progress through out the day.

Unfortunately two windows were in the wrong place, but good thing is that it is an easy fix for the carpenters. You will probably hear more about this later. Anyone who noticed whats wrong?







That is all for today! We are all tired after a long day. J fell asleep already around 8pm tonight.

Update! 8.13am
The truck made it!

9pm Sunday evening, 9,5 hours before

We got a call from the carpenter. He had news from the truck driver, the road (prior to our private road) the truck have to take in the morning is covered with ice. Something has to be done!

The only thing we could do was to give the number to the one in charge of the road. Hold your thumbs that this will be solved in time.

Only a nights sleep left...

1 day left

SNOW!
No snow all winter and now it is falling just in time for the delivery of our house. The outer walls and roof will arrive in smaller pieces on Monday morning at 6.30. By evening the house shell should be up and standing - Hopefully!!!

J & A är i skrivande stund och skottar våran 130m långa väg med varsin skyffel. :)

One week left...

Lets hope for a blue sky on 23rd of February.

Nytt badkar....

.....efter en utflykt till Halmstad bestämde vi oss för detta badkar ifrån Noro istället.

We actually found a both cheaper and better version of the bathtub we were planning to buy. So now we will stop looking, this one will be great.

Two weeks left...

(this is two merged pics, that is why the foundation looks curvy)

Husgrunden börjar ta form, nästa vecka blir det nog en bild på betongplattan. Nu är det bara två veckor kvar tills de stora lastbilarna kommer med ytterväggarna. Spännande!

We can now see exactly where our house will be placed. It is only two weeks left until the big trucks will arrive with the outer walls of our future home.

Today we met a light designer for a consultation. This was our second meeting and it is so worth the money. They have helped us so much. To have the right lighting is so important for the feeling in the house, in a practical way and for the looks of it. There are so many aspects when it comes to the lights and electrical wiring so it is impossible to think of everything on your own.

Redan innan vi bodde i Linnestaden (Gbg) kände vi till Elektrotekniska Byrån, de har ett spännande utbud av lampor och har professionel personal. Av en slump fick vi i våras reda på att personalen består av ljusdesigners som kan ge proffesionell hjälp vid planering av den elektriska röran i hemmet. Det kändes med en gång självklart att använda deras tjänster. Och vi har inte blivit besvikna, efter två konsultationer har vi en bra bild av hur vi vill ha det. Det kommer bli mycket bättre än om vi bara hade använt oss av Myresjöhus standard elritning för vår husmodell. Spännande att få se hur det funkar i verkligheten sen efter allt detta planerande.

Utomhusbelysningen är vi fortfarande lite fundersamma över men det blir nog lättare när huset kommer på plats.

Tack Karin och Ulrika för er proffesionella hjälp!

Bath

It is called IOS-150 from Victoria + Albert. You can see a better picture off it HERE.
The only bad thing with it is of course the price, other than that it will be perfect.
