The game is afoot (aka CC's picture thread)

[copycat]

I'm going to try something different this time: a collage (?) of the 6 biggest rooms in my house. Some of the pictures (IIRC the middle ones)have been rotated 90% in order to not demolish the perspective completely, they are as bad as it is now. The top is the back, the bottom is the front.


From top left to right bottom: living, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, bedroom, carport.

The rooms I left out:

The washing room, located between the kitchen and the bedroom.


The storage room, squeezed beside the storage room, also between the kitchen and the bedroom.


The toilet, besides the one in the bathroom, sqeezed between the carport and the front bedroom.
Ofcourse, there's also a hallways, one side runs from between the bedroom at the right middle up to the bathroom on the left middle and then turns 90° to the front, where it lands into the front office room, like this (yes, I also left out the office room, but that picture is incorporated into this one):

Edit (x3): changed collage, corrected img-tag, corrected spelling errors.
EDIT: An update even messed with the degree-symbol...

Wow, your house is looking good

[copycat]

You just wait, there's more pictures coming from the outside.

[copycat]

Tthe outside wasn't quite finished when I thought it was: the space between the bricks had to be 'closed':

Left the old, right the new


Either my fingers are small, or those electricity wires are thick.


New and improved carport (look at the floor)

[copycat]

Watch out: multiple electricity lanes ahead


Even worse: which wire goes where?


Yet more wires, I just can't get over it, the sheer amount is staggering


And finally, for this wire-post, is the (still rolled up) cable wire (IIRC)

EDIT: Oops, wrong link.

Are we done yet? Nooo....

The underbelly of the house, pitchdark, meaning I didn't know what I was photographing until I could watch it on the LCD screen afterwards



Aha, the windows are here


Backside: now fitted with the doors, windows, and shutters.


A closer look at those shutters: but this time from the inside

Whilst the work on the outside is nearly done, the work on the inside is in full swing, but, let's start where we left off last time:


This is the window of the bathroom. Obviously, that means you can't just look out, nor can anyone from the oustide look in.


It would seem they're covering up their tracks (cables), but I can still see where it's been covered up!

l
And finally, there it is: the complete front side, but with no car port door (yet).

[copycat]

We're going back inside now: and look at the structure they need to reach the ceiling in the lbathroom


A finished ceiling


An unfinished ceiling


Dirty work in progress, since they covered up the window, with the niehghbor's house mirrored in the background. However, I'm not quite sure they've got the right side on the oustide/inside.

Can't have a house without heating. And no, I don't have floor heating.


And ofcourse, you need pipes to transport the hot water to the heating radiators.


Obviosuly, this is where it's all coming from


Where the hot water starts its distribution throughout the house.


Why are all these cables going into the bathroom? And, more importantly, where do they all lead to?

[edgarnick]

CC, It looks like this project is getting under way. When do you think it will be completed?

[copycat]

Huzzah, the car port door has arrived! I was expecting it to be a bit lighter brown though.


I can even open the car port door and look out across the street.


Okay, who's been coming through here whilst the floor was still wet?


Building garbage.


Yup, we're right under the roof, on the top floor, but where is this pipe coming from/leading to?


And this concludes today's session: the bathroom tiles.

CC, It looks like this project is getting under way. When do you think it will be completed?

If all goes according to plan, work should be finished around the end of January 2006. Goodnight!

[racx_00]

Wow, if it finishes at the end of January that would be good

[Oldbushie]

Coolness!

Is it done yet? If so, post some pics! :p

Is it done yet? If so, post some pics! :p

It's done, more pictures will follow soon (as in, maybe tomorrow).

[copycat]

As time progressed, there was less and less work being done, so the 'release' date was being pulled back and back...


Here you have the bathtub, now encased but not tiled (yet)


The flooring of the kitchen is now complete.


The side of the bathtub is being tiled.


Ding dong! Who's at the front door?


But wait, there's no 'Welcome' mat yet!


This is even worse, they've floored up the space for the 'Welcome'-mat!

[copycat]

The washing room is now completely floored too.


Whoa, heating pipe insulation!


The flooring of the carport, grey.


The bathroom cabinet (?).


Who's that lurking in the dark It's a heating cannon!

[copycat]

Nearly there, for this batch.


Inner doors are being placed.


Kitchen part 1.


Kitchen part 2.

This concludes the housing part today. Date of last picture: 2005/12/23.
The flooring of the living room took its time, then all the walls had to be painted, which also took some time, mainly because it was being done by an uncle of mine, in his spare time. Oh, and the ceilings had to be painted too. After the ceiling had been done, the light fixtures could be attached, and the lighting bulbs screwed in. And then, when the bedrooms were complete, we moved in, in the second half of February. Next house pictures will be of the finished product.
