We just call it a two-under-one-roof house...

6 months isn't very fast for the Netherlands. In the town where I live, they just finished a set of about 10 free standing houses. They started in februari or march (somewhere).

Ours is leaking everywhere! Though, once we're completely done, it should be less... (that new front door helped a lot!) I don't think we should be afraid of gassing ourselves with our gas heater...
We want more pictures!
