Update of 16.11.2022: The exterior structure of the house was in poor condition. Therefore, in May, all load-bearing elements were peeled off, the reinforcing irons were protected and covered with a special cement. In addition, the façades to the north and east were insulated over their entire surface. Finally, the whole house was repainted. The main test soon followed: the house survived the heavy rain of 15/16 October without any damage. And now in November, the indoor climate is much more balanced than a year ago – very comfortable!
Update of 26.02.2022: Apartment #3 now has a new kitchen and is painted. Just a few details need to be finished. It can soon be rented. In addition, the entry-gate is renovated now – a true eye-catcher.
Unfortunately, there was water damage in flat #1, after the intense rainfall of the last few days. We found the location where the water infiltrates and sealed it. The living room wall has to be repainted again. I expect that Apt. #1 will be in top shape and ready to rent out in the second part of April.
