So I've taken on a large new project - a 400 year old "house" in the Alps.
The roof was redone 10-ish years ago (corrugate), and is in good condition... but uninsulated. Other than that, it's still pretty "original" (i.e. last inhabited full time ~100 years ago).
Heating is a single wood-fired stove in the lowest floor.
Electricity is on premise - but served by decades old cables run on the surface of the walls.
Water is only to one room (the kitchen)
There are no indoor toilets, and it's not connected to sewage (about 10m away luckily).
So my thoughts are:
1. Get sewage connected, while doing some planning in a random CAD tool to figure out what to do with the various rooms (there's a sheep stable, a chapel and a hay area... almost perfect for christmas!) (also maybe fit a temporary toilet, so there's a toilet that isn't "that bush in the neighbors field" while working on the property)
2. Cut the walls to lay pipes for electricity and water (rough in)
3. Install new wall partitions in the hay barn
4. Underfloor heating (if possible), if not - lay in pipework for radiators
5. Get permission to replace part of the wooden apex with glass windows + at the same time get permission to open a new door and enlarge existing windows
6. Insulate the roof (walls are 160cm thick, not sure I need to insulate those )
7. The rest
Any ideas on my prioritization?
