Compartment walls between the different classes with the circular and red dot award winning JuuNoo walls. Very cool innovation.
Special thx to Unilin for sponsoring the finishing boards of the walls.
CEO Koen Braekman of Veronapro was so kind to give us a hand with the finishing of their entrance doors.
And off course…insulation, insulation, insulation
We smell the finish line !
 

#Maggiegoesto #Leuven – Day 9

Doors and insulation day!
Not the most fun part…but a lot of helping hands make the work light.
 

#Maggiegoesto #Leuven – Day 8

Top day for Maxim ! Pumping Argex clay pebbles in the floor and walls. Afterwards everything progressed very smooth thx to our volunteers. Steeldeck plates, flooring, last wall tarpaulins,…
And to end the day a delicious meal and some stand up comedy by Laura and Karolien.
 

#Maggiegoesto #Leuven – Day 7

Early finish today since everything is ready to blow the expanded clay pebbels in the floor and walls tomorrow. Hit the sack early: ready for our second week.
 

#Maggiegoesto #Leuven – Day 6

Already starting some finishings ! Skylights, roof edges, inner ceilings and some walls. Had some great pizzas from Otomat and live music from Freek the Snake and beer fresh from the tap of ViaVia Heverlee.
Ready for a hard working sun shiny Sunday.
 

#Maggiegoesto #Leuven – Day 5

Paella day by Ward!
Last roof tarpaulins are in and starting with the walls.
Very grateful that our volunteering and favorite contractors VDL & VDM and Tim Arnoys started with the electricity and heating system today.
 

#Maggiegoesto #Leuven – Day 4

The roofs go in ! Still 3 days ahead of schedule.
Thx for the delicious pasta pesto !

#Maggiegoesto #Leuven – Day 3

A rainy day couldn’t keep us from progressing as planned. A new group of great volunteers joined us. Great vibes that’s for sure.
