We have used Thermo Hanf Combi Jute for our Insulation, it is a natural mixed material, we bought it from here – https://www.bausep.de/thermo-natur/hanfdaemmung/. It takes about 3-4 weeks for the delivery. We use 10cm thickness of insulation for our floor and house body, 12cm thick for our roof.

Before ordering the insulation, we knew that the size would be in 58cm wide, we thought it is the standard size, so we plan for our insulation space between 2 “KVH Holz” is 57cm, so the insulation can fit in nicely without gap and also we don’t have to spend time cutting them into the right size. We did not pay enough attention while we were ordering and missed one part that we have to mention we want the insulation in 58cm wide. In the end we got our insulation delivery in 62.5cm which is the standard size from the supplier. No choice, with the well planing but mistake in ordering, I have to cut each piece of our insulation into 58cm 😦

We have done quite a lot in the week 4. One of the most challenging part is wiring. I have done a lot of research and someone has also explained to me how to do it. After many changes and considerations, finally I have managed it. This youtube channel – Elektroinstallation-selber-machen has helped me a lot in understanding. We only do the wiring by ourselves, we will let the electrician to finish the rest of the connection.

We have only done wiring in one side of the wall. The other side where the cupboards and staircase are, we will lay the cable outside of the wall, all cables will be hidden inside or cupboards. For toilet area, we will lay the cable inside the separated wall. Someone told us that, it is better not to lay any cables or water pipes in between the insulation and framing, I have seen many people do in this way during my research. Just in case, we need to repair any cables, we don’t have to open up the whole wall and also it is better to have a well sealed wall with complete piece of insulation inside the wall.

Today, we also able to put the first layer for the house body which is “Dampfbrense”. It is a layer to prevent the house from humidity. We stapled this layer directly on the wood and used TESCON Vana blue tape to seal between 2 layers and also sealed all the parts where we stapled.

I missed the part when G built the subfloor with our carpenter. So basically, after the “Siebdruckplatte” layer, we have the floor framing on top of it. They have built it in this way – after measuring and cutting the correct size of “Siebdruckplatte”, they built the floor framing according to the plan and fix the “Siebdruckplatte” on top of the framing first then turned over the whole “Siebdruckplatte + floor framing” combination and fixed it well on the trailer.

Today, I found out that the trailer height is actually 52cm, it is not 44cm according to the information on Vlemmix website. We quickly made adjustment on the another half of our framing and made sure that the house is not more than 4m height.

For framing, we have used “KVH Holz” in 4.5cm x 10cm size for floor framing and the house framing. We have used 4.5cm x 12cm size for our roof framing. It means, we have 10cm thick insulation and 12cm thick insulation in our roof.
