Build your own garden kitchen – worktop and jamb
After completing the electrics and water supply in my garden kitchen, it was now time to install the worktop. In this post, I describe how I used OSB boards and Fermacell boards to create a stable and moisture-resistant base for the vinyl tiles. These measures were necessary to make the worktop robust, scratch-resistant and easy to clean, so that it meets the requirements of an outdoor kitchen.

Build your own garden kitchen – Solid half-timbered roof with OSB and welded sheeting
When building my garden kitchen, the next priority was to construct a robust wooden roof. The roof was to consist of solid wooden beams which I wanted to screw directly onto the walls made of glued aerated concrete blocks. The covering should be made with sheet piling and OSB boards. My plan also included fitting the guttering, the end plates and gluing the welding membrane to make the roof weatherproof. In this entry I will show you step by step how I carried out the individual installations and what I had to pay particular attention to. Of course, there are also some tips that you are welcome to adopt.

Build your own garden kitchen – plan and install the electrics
When building my garden kitchen, the electrics were one of the biggest challenges. In addition to the right cables for the power supply and the perfect positioning of the sockets, proper fuse protection was of course also necessary. It should also be possible to use a TV and a sound system in the garden kitchen at a later date. So I also had to plan for network and audio cables and install them in the garden kitchen.

Lawn care in spring for the perfect lawn
It’s the beginning of March and winter is slowly retreating. It’s time for me to take care of my garden and bring it out of hibernation. Today I want to take care of my lawn. There is a lot to do, especially in spring. Mowing the lawn, fertilizing the lawn, reseeding the lawn, in addition to scarifying and aerating, are just a few things that I would like to tackle today. I also have to reactivate my water taps and my lawn irrigation system after the winter.

2. set up balcony power station in the garden and connect in series.
Despite my balcony power station in the backyard and lower electricity consumption, electricity costs keep going up. According to the http://strom-report.de, KWh of electricity costs an average of 34.6 cents. New contracts currently cost as much as 41 cents. It is therefore necessary to think about cost-effective alternatives and to add another module to my existing Balkan power plant. But can I connect 2 different PV modules together at all? Do I need a new inverter for two modules or can I continue to use the two old micro inverters?

Draining the cellar – 1 year later
I have been working on drying out my basement for a good 2 years. In addition to repairs to the pipe system, ventilation concepts, dehumidifiers, dryers and a pump shaft in the cellar, I also installed a subsequent horizontal barrier with a masonry injection. It is now time for a review and a summary of the individual measures.
