More BIK Maison Woningen ??!!??

I guess it was inevitable, that somebody on the other side of the road will start building soon.

However - it was with some shock to see the BIK Maison / Woningen sign there.

Given how long it takes to build the first houses - these people must have extreme patience.

Consider - house number 7, a BIK Maison / Woningen house which has started during January 2007, still - despite all of the good weather in this year - is not yet water tight. The window frames are not all completed.

Yet, House number 2, a house which apparently is not built by BIK Maison / woningen, is virtually completed.. including the floor finishes. Also remember, that this house was built by one person.

Another Day on the Street

Well it is Monday - anything new happened on the construction.

House 9 there has been quite some activity with the wooden frame work. The floor for the next level has been completed (almost).. which means that the next level must be soon constructed. It will be very evident this week the overall size of this house.

Incredible that in less than 1 week, a house appears from nothing.

Sorry For Being Away

Have been very busy away from Everberg, so no updates during July and mostly August. What do you expect, it is Belgium after all - famous for the holidays.

Anyway, not too much as happened on the street because of the 1month vacations of the building companies.

Let me summarise.

House 1, they are now working on the 2nd level.
House 2, looks like the interior is being worked.
House 3, just started working on the first walls
House 4, working on the roof tiles
House 5, not started
House 6, not started
House 7, well - a big disappointment that absolutely nothing seems to have changed since I last wrote the message. The windows are still missing, which means the house is still not watertight.. which is a big pity considering all of rain we have had in May, and June and July. A lot of water inside the house isn't too good, is it?
House 8, well considering the house started at the beginning of this year - only now putting the roof joists in place, feels slow progress.
House 9, Something has started, like a mushroom growing overnight, a new company, Dewaele have arrived with the first floor wooden construction. Interesting concept of building, I wonder if Dewaele can follow BIK schedule or go faster, or go slower.
