11 May: Day of house delivery

Last night we got pieces of roof (kattotuolit) delivered and today the actual elements of the house were delivered and installed. We took a day off in order to witness this little miracle coming true and had a great sunny day observing house taking its shape piece by piece. With a crazy smile on our faces we did some clearing of the riverside and collected branches into one pile. Photos will tell you more. Happy.

Windows on wheels


The very first element is the kitchen corner with window


Flying terrace door



3rd day. House covered for the weekend

Riverside and a balcony-to-be

Main entrance and living room windows
All pieces seemed to match, only Lapponia House had a delay delivering and the second day didn't go as planned. Workers couldn't do as much as they wanted and were not too happy. There was a night delivery between day 2 and 3.

  1. Hei,

    hienon värinen talo! Onko lopullinen väri vai pohjamaali? Joka tapauksessa piristävän erilainen verrattuna muihin puutaloihin mitä täällä blogistaniassakin näkee. :) Tumma väri istuu yleensä luontoonkin kauniimmin.

  3. The colour will change somewhat as it has been painted once and we'll paint it again next May. The color should look and bit like this:

    Although on the paper sample it looks somewhat different than on the screen, with a bit more brown.

  4. Väri tosiaan tuosta vielä tummenee ja katosta tulee tiilenpunainen. Koko projekti perustuu realistisiin suunnitelmiin ja nöyryyteen budjetin osalta. Olen myös hyvin käynnönläheinen ja suosin järkeviä ratkaisuja, joka ei siis tarkoita samaa kuin tylsä. Minulla on myös vahva tunneside tuohon tonttiin ja oli tärkeää rakentaa siihen talo joka istuu maisemaan.
    Odotan vaan että päästään tulevina vuosina kyntämään pihaa, kasvattamaan vihanneksia ja nauttimaan yhdessäolosta ilman kiireitä ja hoppua.

    It is amazing finally to see our new home taking it's shape in real. We have planned so much and so long on paper that seeing actual walls growing in front of the eyes gives you a feeling of jumping and waving hands... pinch me

  5. I need a Kastelli house or similar built in S W France near Agen. Is Sip the builder looking for a job in France?

  6. Hi John, I am not really a builder myself but our house comes Lapponia House. Lapponia House has own representative office in France. See http://www.lapponiahouse.com/fi/myynti/myyjat/
    Their quality of wood and painting seems really good.
