By the beginning of 2005 yellowTAB was running more and more and we moved with our office to a bigger place. We were growing up. I had to be in Mannheim all the time and it was kinda frustrating to stay in a small apartment while i had a nice house in northern Germany. My wife and my two kids used to life there. Another thing was my idea about an ideal world and father. In my opionion a father have to build a home for his family on his own. Our house in north Germany we bought when we were 24. It is a two family house and i had to rebuild a lot in it but it was not something that i could say -when i die- i build for my family. The other thing is that i am from south Germany and this is a totally different kind of people than in the north. I was fading like a flower in the 17 years i had to life in the north.
So in March 2005 i started to look for a new house for us in the south. I wanted to build it myself but yellowTAB used me at least 13-16 hours every day, even on weekends. So what to do? Well find a nice house which i can work at least in it as i did in our house in the north. I contacted several house dealers to find something. Nothing was really nice and i didn’t love what i saw. The last dealer we had showed me a house and said this is THE house for me. I was looking and well well well it was “ok” but i didn’t really feel my heart beating. He said then: Look we have a very old house, hmm 300 years or so, but it is TOTALLY broken, no more roof, no heading, no power, no real windows, all done in sand stone…. i said: Well lets have a look and we drove there. And you know what? IT WAS AWESOME! I am a visionary and this is my real passion. The house was a 300 year old Beer Brewing house with an amazing cellar and with about 2700 sqm (1 sqm = 9 sqf) living ground but as i said: totally broken. I came into the office switched my laptop on and started my CAD Software to plan it and make the visualization of it in 3D. Today i can tell you it is at least 90% of what i thought it should be when i am done. Some of my friends followed it and said that i never can move into it as this is the task force “Mission Impossible”.
So end of the story 
Today i want start to show photos of it and about the progress i did. I think i will do it step by step. Funny is that while i uploaded the photos i felt all it again and how hard it was to do all that things. Most of the stuff i did my self with some help from friends and my family. But in the end i invested even by now already 1000 of hours into that house and i do not miss a single hour !
I write that article inside my office on a laptop which stands on the desk i did myself. Here you can see the office when i started to work on it:
