Update on my leaky pipes - guess what, it wasn't a leaky pipe but damaged silcone seals of my bathtub. The plumber renewed them and hopefully there won't be any water in my walls prospectively.
I'm still drying the walls with a radiant heater. I even bought a dehumidifier, which isn't helping. But the heater works well. My balcony doors and windows are open all day which helps with removing the moisture. I think I will wait 3 more weeks with bringing in the kitchen cabinet until I'm sure the walls are dry enough. I also removed all of the plaster at the moisture part of the walls. Therefore the mouldy smell decreased alot.
Oh, and as it wasn't a leaky pipe, the insurance won't pay. *sigh*
I ordered an oak-floor for my sleeping room which will arrive here around the 24th of September. I'm looking forward as I was living on the bare concrete for 5 years in my sleeping room.
Today I will buy a new sink and countertops for the kitchen and I will paint all of my kitchen furniture in white next week.
I called the plumber to get cost estimations for rebuilding my bathroom: removing the bathtub and installing a walk-in-shower and new toilet and sink.
I called the window-craftsmen for renewing all of my windows and balcony doors for an cost estimation.
None of them called back for an appointment yet *bigsigh* It is very hard to get craftsmen nowadays.
Next big project will be removing the old floors (tiles and wooden planks) in living-, eating- and work-room to replace them with an oak floor as well. I guess I'll be busy for the rest of the year.
I need to replace the inlays of my tile stove too, but I guess I'll have no money left. This would cost me around 6000 Euro additionally.
Hopefully all of my projects will be finished by mid of 2021.
Next Saturday some colleagues will come by for a barbeque. We will be 7-9 people or so. I'm looking forward. We'll inaugurate my new fire bowl and the garden seatings I bought a few weeks ago. I'm always a bit stressed out with organizing such events as I want everything to be perfect. At least the weather will be perfect, says the forecast.
