Pipes arrived

Things have started to move faster - incidentally meaning that things have started to get more expensive - but that was to be expected. As I wrote last time, it looks as though the roof will be started on May 6th. As that means that a scaffolding will be going up then, it makes good sense to do any outstanding groundwork before that. The only real outstanding groundwork is the installation of the heating pipe (district heating I believe it is called) 1.3m under the ground across the yard. I called up Heribert Niedermaier to come and measure exactly how long the pipe has to be. He ordered a 30m pipe - which was delivered this morning at 08:00. Daniel organised a digger for Saturday at 10:30, so it looks like we'll be able to put in that pipe (as well as a another 75mm pipe for electrical and network cables) and fill the trench back in again too. We might even be able to dig the foundations for the balcony support girders.

Other than that, the metal grid cage is installed - meaning we can now fill the casing with concrete and be done with it. The engineer sent back the signed Baubeginnsanzeige this morning - which means we are pretty much good to go. The next steps are coordinating the roof, the window installation, the plastering and the internal partitioning and flooring.

Casing had to be reopened to allow fitting the cage

The R188 cage sits perfectly in the casing
