Yet another project - Facade Insulation

As we had not much of a winter around here we decided to start early on our next project; facade insulation. At the beginning of March we had the material delivered which we researched and organized during the winter months. Each project as you know starts with planning & budgeting.




The weekend we actually started the weather conditions worked for us quite well however since then we experienced some set backs because of the so called April weather even though it's not April yet. Lots of ever changing weather from rain to storms to sunshine was holding us up on progressing.




Nevertheless, we are in good spirits that by the beginning of the summer season we will have ticked yet another box, another project will be done and dusted. Let's not forget we need to continue on landscaping the back yard in order for the swimming pool to be the highlight of the property.

The Ice Bears - "Die Eisbären" - Ice Hockey

I do remember that back in Perth (Australia) I ones tried to purchase tickets for an ice hockey game. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get some so I think ice hockey must be popular. Anyway, over here in Germany it was much easier to get my hands on tickets as we have friends who are devoted ice hockey fans and that was our chance.


Not that I know much about the sport but watching it live in the Mercedes Benz Arena, I guess, is a great Sunday afternoon activity, especially with friends. Before we were enjoying the atmosphere of the game we decided to have brunch nearby. As the weather wasn't that flash it was the perfect spot to hang out with friends and we were not the only ice hockey fans hanging out there.

This wasn't the first time we went for a game of ice hockey, actually it's the second one and this time our team "Die Eisbären" brought home the victory. Awesome !!!
