Does Denise Milani Have Real Breasts

Frohe Weihnachten

The Advent quiet days are also the occasion for us to let the previous year pass in review and to draw a preliminary conclusion about our passive house.
The main conclusion first: We like our house still :-)
Although in principle the construction phase, of course, was exhausting, but the bottom line is no more wrong than any previous construction also. However, there are still some open issues, even more than 6 months after moving
  • The front door is still leaking, several attempts to rectify the window manufacturer had only limited success. A few days ago, we could even ice on the inside (!) Remove the door, and as our faith then stops but that this is the "current state of the art" is. (See photo at end of post)

  • We are currently discussing with all parties involved (engineers, architects, heating engineers) the fact that when turned on the auxiliary heating vent the furnace in continuous runs. We have come across some discrepancies between the original concept of the engineer and the final built-in components and just to clarify the process of how the built-in components really are "equivalent" or just not. Sorry, do not behave all parties involved in the discussion particularly cooperative, so we now own (inevitably) become by self-study to experts in constant value control valves ...

  • is the exhaust valve of the oven for about 4 days when you turn off strange cracking noises - we will probably again need to consult the customer service

The extreme cold in the past week, our pellet consumption in the meantime to about 15 kg per days has increased, up to date but slightly decreased. Whether all this is in the realm of what would be expected by the theoretical calculations in advance, I am now completely stumped and werde wohl erst nach der kompletten Heizsaison mal nachrechnen.

Outdoor Wedding Reception Ideas Utah

Erste Erfahrungen

Gerne gebe ich mit diesem Post unsere ersten Erfahrungen mit unserem Passivhaus wieder. Während der "Sommer"-Monate, etwa bis Ende September, hatten wir konstant 21-24 Grad im Haus (trotz Verschattung), der Ofen musste nicht ein einziges Mal anspringen, der die Solaranlage das benoetigte Warmwasser erzeugen konnte. In den letzten 3 Wochen war es allerdings quasi durchgehend trübe und bedeckt - da kann die Solaranlage natürlich wenig ausrichten, entsprechend springt der Ofen 2-3x am Tag fuer jeweils ca. eine halbe Stunde an. Die Zimmertemperatur pendelt aktuell bei 19-22 Grad, allerdings ist die Fußbodenheizung noch gar not in operation and the heating coil for the air only very sporadically.
Overall, the house (solid construction) so not so "lazy" as I had expected mean is, the temperature level changes but (relatively) fast. One reason is the lack of ground heat exchanger, ie the intake air is "just" warmed by the extracted air, not on additional energy from the ground. The same device would also help in the summer, the temperatures in the house a little better to keep in check. We decided in the construction phase for cost reasons, however - I'm not sure if I would make with the knowledge now call for a different decision.
Conclusion: The sun has a huge impact - not only on the hot Waser, but also through the large windows directly to the room temperature.
Whether the frequency of the oven "appropriate" and the current consumption of about 30kg of pellets per week as part of the calculations, I have been able to find not recalculate or - possibly more passive house residents with experience here?
A few additional comments and observations:

  • was the origin of the moisture in the technology space never be finally resolved. Visually, it dries off, an uneasy feeling remains

  • Meanwhile, all the lights except the hanging ceiling lamp in the living room. The biggest challenge was the search for a mirror light for recessed mirror in our bathroom - there are many mirror cabinets with light, but only very few mirror lighting without mirrors

  • The front door still does not close as tight as we are the passive house suitable for a door imagine - the window manufacturer investigated together with the manufacturer and us currently on a solution

  • The thermostat in the bath has no effect as long as all valves on the heating thermostat hanging in the living room ... Electrician has been amended, although one wonders as host, that neither the sanitary Bauer noticed before the electrician by itself was.

Finally, a good tip for all homeowners: Flex should work with sparks in the immediate vicinity of tile should be avoided - zumindst if the flow were not covered. Also, a new bathtub, you can "get" in this way :-) If anyone
more specific questions to the passive house has in general or as a future client would like to learn a few tips from our experience, can, of course, everyone is welcome to contact me.

Kates Playground Playing In The Office

Vollzugsmeldung

It is finished - since 29 May we live in our passive house. Although not all completely finished (including the still missing a few mirrors and lamps, or even such things as toilet paper holder und der Handlauf am Geländer), aber es lässt sich schon gut hier leben :-)

Die Innentemperaturen bewegen sich konstant (auch nachts) zwischen 22 und 24 Grad - hier rächt sich, dass die Jalousien noch nicht funktionieren.

Im Technikraum fand sich letzte Woche Feuchtigkeit unbekannter Herkunft - sowohl Stadtwerke, Sanitärbetrieb als auch Architekt sind noch ratlos. Da wird nochmal eine Spezialfirma ran müssen (die wir schon gut kennen - ich erinnere an die insgesamt 3 BlowerDoor-Tests...), um die genaue Herkunft zu identifizieren.

Pinnacle 150e/55e Drivers

-4 (*)

(*) An alle Nachrechner: Ja, ich habe die Berechnungsgrundlage aktualisiert - der Umzugswagen ist naemlich fuer Freitag bestellt.

really unbelievable what has happened in the last few days - and what going to happen has. Laminates have been (in internal activity) completely transferred, wallpapering is almost complete (extend up to two places where screws from the wall - but of which no one knows where they come from or what they are good). The first furniture are moved together with full moving boxes from the old apartment in the new house. The oven works (which is 35 degrees outside temperature is not really important), the ventilation system and that is not solar system. Tile work almost complete - by Wednesday will be added missing base and jointed so that it can be built up on Thursday the kitchen. The first Outside blinds are attached (and I like visually very good), but you do not really dark, as they are placed quite far in front of the window opening, so we are looking for blinds or Venetian blinds for the bedroom.

Rollercoaster Tycoon Animal Helicopter

The tiles are laid almost all (except for the floor tiles in the bathroom), in the bedroom already is laminate, and almost all soils are again in film wrapped - follows the interior plaster. Slowly, the art house to the critical point: ventilation, furnace, solar panels - all still in operation. To "cheer" des Ofens haben wir versucht, Pellets aufzutreiben - gar nicht so einfach in dieser Jahreszeit, und wohin mit einer Tonne davon, wenn man keinen Keller hat und die Garage noch voll anderer Baumaterialien ist?
Ansonsten laufen jetzt auch die eher administrativen Dinge - z.B. die Bestellung einer Mülltonne - an. Noch 9 Arbeitstage...

What Are Black And Chocolate Diamonds

Badewanne ist eingebaut - ich habe mal die Tuer zum Bad zugemacht, sonst wuerde der Kondenstrockner wohl gegen Windmühlen kämpfen. The interior doors have fittings now - and tomorrow will finally begin the tile in the bathroom.

Condoleezza Rice Email Contact

The (hopefully) last rent for our current home is paid - but at home it's slow. The main problem is that the surface according to the last measurement is too moist, to lay tiles. After we "only" had two condenser in the house, we are now at 4 condenser dryers, plus additional fans - I fear the Baustromrechnung ... To speed up the drying of the screed was also sanded off. After all the interior doors are
now provided with the first frames and door leaves are already there. Indoor and Exterior window sills are almost all built in, and the outside reinforcing plaster is already on it.

Upper Stomach Pain And Peeing Alot

Innenausbau und Außendämmung

Moving ahead - in the equipment room are the first tile, the ceilings are suspended there, where they should be, and the first light bulbs perform their duties successfully. The outer insulation (at least 26cm thick) was placed - by the window, jump course, a little "back" what humorless (ok, let's just say "ecologically incorrect * g *) has led contemporaries, our house visually with a" castle "to Compare ...

How To Make A Mini Dune Buggy

Aller guten Dinge sind drei

The third blower door test has an air change rate 0.7 almost achieved the targets set. With the recent reworking of the discovered vulnerabilities is thus achieve its objective and and we can turn to the next problem: the dwindling schedule.

Can Infection Increase Your Blood Pressure

Osterhase

During the morning ritual of emptying the two condenser us today is Easter Sunday a "something" noticed in a ditch - turned out on closer inspection it as a wounded hare. Imagine your facial expression in front when on Easter Sunday morning call at 10:00 clock to the local police station to tell that a bunny is in the pit. In any case
has picked a squad car, the animal and (hopefully) a suitable Supply transferred. I'm sure the talk of the office for the next few days provided :-)

Cruising Spots In Fort Worth Texas

Es werde Licht

Today we first turned on in our house, the light - in some of the diffusers were installed by an electrician naked light bulbs, a function test of the cabling perform. He also has a cable in the bedroom, which was not published because of a misunderstanding "flush", yet notched a later date.
waits on Thursday the 3rd Attempt by the blower door test - we are excited.

13 Dpo Cervix High Soft And Slightly Open

1,3

Big disappointment - in the second experiment, we have clearly missed the target level of 0.6. This time there were at least fairly large temperature differences between inside and outside, so that thermography has provided very clear photos of the vulnerabilities. It turns out that in a passive house in massive construction to avenge the smallest "sin" - in our case has wide finger unplastered points and the intersection points between the base plate, windows and masonry. On the advice of the architect and engineer of the measurement, we will remove another part of the concrete and the outer wall encircling paste with a "foil" to create on the inside of the walls an air-tight connection level. I have insisted on the success of this (and further covered in) action by another blower door test check (hopefully by mid next week). Our architect has come to meet us and take over part of additional costs incurred.
What this all means for our schedule, plus I'm not earlier than thought, if the blower door test is successfully completed.

Klappe die Zweite

morning, at the second attempt by the blower door test. In the meantime, thinks the window manufacturers, the weak point on the window connections found (and fixed) to have. Moreover, the bare places in the area of \u200b\u200bthe attic have been reworked. 'm Curious to see what comes out tomorrow. Parallel to the last few days of drying and heating in the house, which in turn fogging the camera lens und den nebligen Eindruck erklärt.
