Neph’s new house…
-
Is this the Norwegian equivalent to HOA's?
Dunno what that is. Any changes made externally that affect the neighbours have means they need to be notified. They are also able to comment or air concerns. As long as nothing breaks code they can’t stop anything. In addition to all that the house is protected so it needs to meet some standards in terms of materials, design etc.

Nice shirt there…which season/year was that one?

…neph93 how cold did you get in your neck of the woods this winter/year?

We’re on the coast so it doesn’t get that cold. The coldest temp this winter has been about 9F in the air, but wind chill would have put the effective temperature below 0F that day. Inland it gets a lot colder.

That is the IHSH-106. An absolute gem of a shirt. Brown chambray CPO with an orange lining. There was a black one too that I would love to own.

And yet you are still able to smile. ??? Or is that the start of a snarl?

If you look carefully, I’m not the one crowbarring 80 year old floorboards in a loft space [emoji16]

@neph93 How is the project coming along? On schedule and any hints of a move in date?
I believe it is coming along very well, but I haven’t been in the house for a couple of weeks!
We have an outbreak of the so-called South African Covid mutation in my town. It coincided with the elctricians and plumbers coming in, so the local measures mean none of us can be in the house at the same time. The plumber and the sparky are taking turns every other day. In addition, one of the builders is a pot smoking night owl and hates working days so he is in breaking up the cellar floor and cutting new windows in the evenings. I basically haven’t been allowed into my own house.
I’m on shit clearing support next week so pics will follow then.

When I was living in Minnesota, my landlord was building a new house. On a three day weekend, he neglected to check in on the build and when he did check on it, everything was gone. Electrical wires, pipes (plumbing), appliances, windows, toilet, tub, fixtures…
His place was remote with no security.

Ha. No worries on that score, my wife was in yesterday and work is progressing. It all feels a bit odd though.

Been a bit mental on the house front. We are moving in around 10th May, and due to the inevitable delays and Hot Ingrid exercising her divine right to change her mind, things will not be quite as planned. The main bathroom will not be finished as the tiles we had taken bloody ages to decide on were suddenly deemed «not good enough» and the only ones that work are on a six week lead time from Italy.
Further more I have decided that finances dictate that I do the cellar so we can use money on other things that are either beyond my capabilities or very expensive. Like the bloody Italian tiles.
Still, there is a lot of progress. The current state is more advanced than you’ll see here as these were taken a couple of weeks ago, but the kitchen is in and the first floor is looking like it may be livable. The second floor is coming along, while the cellar looks like something Frodo and Sam would have had a bad time in…
-
Kitchen looks good. Cellar looks, well, kinda like where a horror movie would be filmed.
Good luck with the tiling. I utterly deferred to Julie for those decisions in our house building process, and as a result, she did not once threaten to murder me in my sleep.

I love the cabinets Reuben. Looks great.
