Kick-off meeting

30°C, hardly a cloud in the sky. We left the dog at home and went to the building site: Hanse Haus foreman, the foundation company Glatthaar, the electrician, the architect, the salesman, the excavators, and the water works - all were in attendance. A few of them knew each other and had worked together before, which one assumes always makes life easier. At least that was the impression we got. When they were talking to each other, it may as well have been Chinese - hardly understood a word. Anyway, the dates remain unchanged from the last post. Here are some pictures - click to enlarge:

See above and me pretending to understand everything.

Our "Bautafel" - an official sign on the site saying who is building what and that permission has been granted.
