Everybody loves time-lapse movies!<\/p>\n

\"Time<\/p>\n

A townhome across from Bugle HQ has been under renovation since we moved here. In fact, every third residence in Luxembourg-Ville seems to be under renovation. When we looked for apartments this spring, our expectations changed radically from our time in Dublin. By the second day of touring residences, a five-year-old apartment looked dilapidated.<\/p>\n

Some renovations completely change the exterior of the building. Our own building might have a core structure that’s 100 years old, but it appears to be about ten years old from the exterior (and interior) style. <\/p>\n

Back to the building across the street: the exterior renovations began recently, so the Bugle staff deployed some new toys to document the progress. And you, dear readers, get a special preview of the results. To Anita’s eyes, it looks a little like one of those beloved Sesame Street segments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s the first video, as the scaffolding goes up. There aren’t a lot of interesting parts to this one, but it is an effective introduction to our project. It’s just over one minute long. If you have the bandwidth, use THIS LINK<\/a> and click on the HD button to see the fine details.<\/p>\n

Then there’s the second video, from the second day of work. There are some nice bits in this one, including the final level of scaffolding from 0:40 to 1:05, the rubbish chute at about 1:20, and sunset at the end of the video. Again, here’s the link for best quality<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The third video, almost two minutes long, portrays a slow day due to bad weather. You do get to see some deliveries in the morning, and in the afternoon, the scraping and covering of the roof: the third link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These are not the most exciting videos that have appeared on the Bugle blog, but fans of the Canadian program<\/a>, How It’s Made<\/em> may enjoy watching the process of renovating a Luxembourgish home. We may turn the highlights into a full-fledged Bugle Production, so all suggestions are welcome!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
