Blog – Solar Decathlon 2009 Team Germany – Technische Universität Darmstadt

This evening we finished repairing the parquet and after a short barbecue on the deck during the sunset, we started oiling the oak.

Here is a short video that shows the setup procedure of sur+home

We had a good first week in Essen. There were a lot of problems to solve, but we almost did a good job. So we had to celebrate a bit on our deck.

We found a mixture of salty sea water and winter water of melt snow under the dining area. To be honest: We do not like to know, how it came there.

We just wrung out the cellulose insulation and set up a ventilator to reduce the humidity. … and then: HAKUNA MATATA!

Our Webcam is online again!

Building a house on the National Mall in Washington D.C. was hard work … not only because of the short period of time but especially because of the problem, that there was no German beer available on the Mall. Back in Germany, things become better … but keep cool. This is after the day’s work!
