Day 1 - Construction of the house

At 7 o'clock they wanted to start with the assembling of the house, so we did our best to be there in time. Given the fact that we were waiting up the night before until all trucks arrived this meant not more than one hour sleep. But we were so excited about everything that we were wide awake. When we arrived in the morning they hadstarted to unpack the first module so we could take a little sneak into our future kitchen. The first attempt to lift the kitchen module in place failed because the crane was with one foot standing on a soft spot and came in some unbalance when he tried to swing the module around. So they had to abort and fix the position of the crane. To fix this took about an hour and they started to lift the first module in place about at 08:30 a.m. At 10:00 a.m. all 3 modules of the first floor were in place and the work on the roof could begin. 

Module 1 - Kitchen, main entrance with hallway, bathroom



Module 1 lifted in place

Module 2 - living room and bedroom - lifted in place

Module 3 - washing room, 1 bedroom and bathroom - unwrapped and prepared to be lifted


After 90 min the first floor was build up

The house at the end of day 1

The ark should have been build up today as well, but they forgot to load one part for it at the factory and have to send it after now - but hopefully it arrives soon.

Tomorrow the work continues with the roof tiles.
