Neph’s new house…

[RoxRocks86]

Did someone say drywall ‍️

Those are some sturdy walls!!! Quite interesting reading up on all the different layers used. Those houses are built to last and it shows.

Do you & the fam have a move in date you’re trying to shoot for?

I'm getting tired just reading about all that work…  ???

@Roxrocks86 I need to do some sums and see what the price of flying you, @scooter  @Giles and @Brock  over is. You’d have to do 10 days quarantine but we could work on the house. You get paid in beer and possibly moose meat. That would be a dream crew. Thinking about it @spitfiredealer and @steelworker would make it complete, we’d have the place sorted in no time.

We need to have the top two floors done which means re-modelling some rooms, new kitchen, new bathroom as well as all the decoration. We reckon February.

Just used a 500W Bosch Hammer drill to take up the bathroom floor. One layer of tiles. Two inches of concrete and some masterboard. Boo-ya 

[Brock]

I’m in. You can put us up in that cabin on the lake [emoji12]

I may not be a carpenter by trade, but I know manual labor as well as anyone ‍️

You’re in….. although I was thinking your contribution could be be artistic.

[scooter]

Beer. Fishing. Isolation. I don't know that I'd have time for work…

[Graeme]

I'd offer to help too, but I'd probably not get permission to leave Australia from the government, and Norway north of the Arctic Circle would be way too cold for my partner.

[Seul]

I'm good at keeping partners warm and beers cold.

@neph93 What's the rubble between the floor joists?  Are the joists just sitting on grade or is that the 2nd floor somehow??

[Matty123]

Congrats Reuben! I don’t geton here often enough.

[neph93]

@Seul @louisbosco where there’s love there’s room. Bring it on.

That is clay (now dried and crumbled), mixed with a bit of stone for bulk. It is in both floor dividers and as a solid layer is on top og the bedrock too. It was used as cheap, effective sound and heat insulation in 1941.

I love that the Houses in your Woodwork look like yours (and the previous one), just remodeling the interior is easier and faster than having to remodel everything on the outside as well. We germans had a couple of rough decades when it comes to family homes…
