Another month of construction works. Good progress again – all gyproc panels are installed – floors, walls and ceilings, joints were filled and surface finish applied. On the second floor walls were also painted with base paint. All bathrooms were water insulated. Fireplace chimney was built. All exterior doors were installed (except for the main one, since it is used a lot, and we wouldn’t like to scratch it). Sauna was measured and delivered from Keminmaa. Stairs were measured and ordered.

Of course there’s been a fair share of mistakes and disappointments.
One of the windows on the first floor cracked – looks like there’s been some hidden tension. Factory promised to send a replacement soon, hopefully it doesn’t take much time – it was one of the largest windows.

Kitchen and fitted furniture manufacturer representatives paid a visit to the construction site – double checking the measures, and we figured that pipes for the washing machine were made on the wrong wall, kitchen layout has to be modified because windows are few centimeters taller than in the plan, light switch in one bedroom will have to be moved, because it was placed behind fitted closet, and there was one pipe going through the place where fitted closets in the housekeeping room were planned.
Plumbers said that ground source heat pump doesn’t fit into the technical room and now it’ll take some space from the walk-in closet or from housekeeping room. And since floors were tiled/walls painted only in technical room, installation of the heating system is delayed.

But the project goes on despite of all small hickups – using agile methods works in construction as well as in software development.
