Hi! Welcome to Noordwijk and to this vlog of the renovation of our house. The vlog starts at the bottom, so if you’re new here, scroll to the bottom of the page and start watching from there. Enjoy!
Sanding, sanding, …

I just realised it’s been a while since I last posted something here. That’s because not that much happened in the house until recently. We’ve been working mostly on the drawings and making choices of materials. And lately, also ordering materials. So we’ve ordered the tiles for the roof as well as the tiles for the ground floor. We’ve ordered the brick slips for the outdoor insulation, the new frames for the house and for the new extension, and so on, and so on. The list seems endless. Unfortunately, our pockets are not… :-/

Today, I opened up the cladding of the wall in the front of the house. Behind the layer of gypsum board, there was a lot of space next to the window frame, which was filled up with… newspapers. Once I removed those, I had a new view onto the street!
