Let’s get concrete
With all the digging done, it is now time to move on to the next step. That next step is an easy one, and yet it’s also a back-breaking one: getting concrete. More specifically: getting 7m³ concrete into our house, and spread out over 50m². But how do you do that?

Enter the bathtub
When thinking about an intro for this post, nothing came to mind. So you’re going to write about our bathtub, and how it got in place? Great. How do you get people excited to read about that? Maybe I can tell about how we chose our tub? How I had to go lying into it,
