Reconstruction of the new house
As we already reported in several journals
before, a few months ago we were lucky to buy a neighbor-house under quite
good conditions.
We
planned to convert the already existing six small rooms into three bigger
ones.One room is supposed to be for a new group, the second one will be
used by a group of 35 children (6-9 years), whose present room is way too
small for all of them. The third room will be the kitchen for the
cooking-classes.
As
we started to tear down the inner walls, unfortunately we had to discover,
that the outer walls and the roof were resting on them. The former house
was in such a bad shape, that we had to tear down everything, except one
wall. Further we had to rebuilt the whole house. This process took more
time than expected, but still, we hope to be done until January, so that
the rooms can be used, when school starts again.
As
the work at the house took more work and time than planned, the whole
reconstruction got more
expensive than calculated. Fortunately we could rely on several visitors
and good friends who kindly helped us out, so that we can finish work.
Therefore,
we are very thankful and appreciate their kindness. We are looking forward
to further visits, so that we can show them the new rooms, of course
filled with lucky children.
