Just back from a 45 minute tour of the factory where the house is being "built". Very impressive. Here are some photos of our house in the final stages of production. The wood used is either Bavarian or Austrian spruce which is dried until there is just 15% moisture left in it - this environment in the wood prevents wood lice and other unpleasant creatures. No preservatives are used, the only exception being the bottom layer of the wood which rests on the bottom plate - this is done because of building regulations. After the drying process it is cut, shaped and drilled into shape in the factory by man and machine.
A 3D plan of the building.
The outer wall on the south side of the house - window for big bathroom.
From right to left: wall of living room eastern side with large double window, behind that is the double door for the patio.
Inner wall of the guest bathroom with green waterproof plasterboard.
In the middle: one of the gables.
The rafters: numbered, lettered and ready to be transported. A total of three 40 tonne lorries is needed for the whole house.
Next Monday, 28th July, assembly commences at 6 a.m..
