Yes, on 18 of December 2011 we moved in together with lots of boxes.
We're in and all things are working well at the moment.
The snow has come in the new year and it looks really pretty out here. Kids love it too.
Just today we tried the fireplace and being first time, as it's recommended, we only burned couple of killos of wood. And the fireplace is working well, chimney has good draft, etc.
We had quite a few problems with the house since we moved, later more on that...
UPDATE (October 2012)
Among the problems we had when we moved in was that geo-thermal heating pump had wrong settings with the heat curve set too high, meaning it was heating needlessly much so that in the first week it was really warm in the house. In the end it was fixed and issue was that we should use in the the NIBE pump just curve 5 instead of 9. 9 is is the default setting in the pump but our house is very well insulated and does not need too hot water in the floor heating. The heat curve sets how warm the water in the floor heating should be for a given outside temperature.
Also the were some leakeage from the dish washer water connection which was fixed and luckily the floor did not get damaged.
The third most anoying thing was that after a week or so we noticed that we could not anymore fluch the toilet. That was in the evening of 23 December 2011, really nice ! Likely issue was solved in the same evening with our electrician having to come and connect the the sewage pump to electricity. Small detail but rather important as the sewage water needs to be pumped to the main sewage line, so that sewage tank does not get full, yaaachh!
Foreigner with Finnish wife, building a house in Finland. Initially we didn’t know a thing about building and there is not much information available in English how to manage it in Finland. This project is our long-term dream coming true yet it is very complex. Especially if you really want to understand how your money is spent. This blog is a sort of diary where we will share our experiences with everyone. And yes, it will all be written in non-native English ;) mixed with some Finnish too.
