Metin Usta brings the perfectly finished oak balustrades straight from his woodshop. Sadly, they will be painted over!

After the structure of the entire front part of the building has been re-constructed correctly in plumb-line, the roof, the posts holding it up, and the balustrades to be placed between these posts, are all off! The measurements taken previously do not add up anymore, and since the balustrade ornaments are modular, we will have to miraculously solve this problem!

A double layer of rockwool is cut in-situ and placed in the walls, ceiling and floor.

Rockwool as a material is not easy to work with, since its tiny particles go everywhere, especially into the lungs, and is very itchy!
