moi, the panels in the guest-wc had been finished. also some terrassi panels needed to be moved as neighbour needed space to drop some of his old bricks (he is currently doing a heavy core renovation and each weekend another wall collapses). also a daylight pic of yesterdays panelling work in kitchen.

terve, attached to todays posting you can see the front-wall installation which has been finished now. first pic shows you the later wash basin. next show you how shower will look later. last jens of BAX kitchen might be happy to see that installation for kitchen within wall to technic room has been finished as well.

terve, today i would like to introduce you to the folks of JANßEN FUßBODENHEIZUNG. those are the experts when it comes to floor heating for wooden floors. we all know the common prejudices for that scenario: everyone will tell you that this don’t work. well… it does! however, you simply only need to tweak the setup a bid so that the floor heating can work jointly with the wooden floor in harmony. here janßen folks will join you with their pretty smart solution.

what they do is - in short words - that they combine copper tubes with aluminium plates. by that method wood becomes a proper connection to heated area, will overall setup is still simple (but genius). so listen all folks in finland: staff of janßen are the experts you should talk to when it comes to a smart solution for your own mökki. they will make your house warm w/o huge effort or necissities of concrete floors etc. …

also note that JANßEN FUßBODENHEIZUNG staff is perfectly aligned to smart solutions of MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC HEATING folks. so zubadan / ecodan heating systems are optimal running with their floor heating systems. well… luckily our ecodan systems will soon arrive as well.

i’ll keep you updated (of course also with many pics!).

please also don’t hesistate to get in touch with mr. janßen personally. he had been always very helpful, consulting myself everytime very patient regarding my overall heating installation. it’s simply convincing!

moi, as you can see kitchen cabinet wall had also been finished covered by OSB. also the data cable for HARVIA CG170 sauna control had been installed. bathroom work did also proceed. all gaps between OSB-plates had been taped to prevent warm air entering the lower floor area.

moi, ceiling panels had been finished in other rooms. this could have been done fast, as panels had been pre-cut last weekend. next step had been to continue in bathroom. here next step would be to close floor also i shower area. this had been a bit tricky as lowering the base floor for desired water outlet wasn’t that easy due to water tubes crossing the area above 390 mm beams.

moi, the living room had been finished by this day. the ceiling is completely done. all holes for lights had also been drilled. i hope the light configuration looks nice in the end. i spent a lot of brainwork for it, making it looking nice. we’ll see later whether my job has been sufficient.

installing ceiling panels had been fun as they had been all of a very good quality. i never expected that by the end of the room(after 5,20 meters) we wouldn’t be off axis at all. it was really a weird moment as this prooves that a non-pro can also install panels proper. tip for future users: buy a staple gun! 109 EUR incl. 5000 x 40 mm staples makes you forgetting the overpriced stuff from DIY-markets where this goes for 400 EUR.

what had been a pain was installing the kitchen exhaust. this needed careful inspection in advance as all the “local experts” except for my kitchen guy jens explained me that this won’t work seamless with panels making an (ugly) hanging block necessary. well… as you can see it works also w/o cutting any of the roof trusses if you only do it smart.

oh… and kitchen exhaust comes from belgium company NOVY (http://www.novy-dunsthauben.de). they have an external engine allowing them to be best-in-class regarding noise. also thanx to folks of kruse.design (local distributor) and jens of BAX kitchen (http://www.bax-kuechen.de) for their support.

terve, this friday afternoon it had been necessary to proceed with the ceiling panelling. as you can see the daily objective had been to surrounding at least the chimney exhaust. the weather had been pretty cold even thought we had only round about -3,5 degrees.

ps: i also finally managed to figure out which tiles will feature the bathroom.

moi, here we go with pictures of further ceiling panel installation in the living room. as the panel quality is really great it’s almost fun to install panels.

terve, i’m recovered from illness hopefully since today, so that i could start working on ceiling panels. sadly i’ve lost a complete week, but that’s life. as walls had already been made i started with ceiling panels in parents room and on the pictures you can see the results.
