transcription:
Later ? I have to say, that was also helpful: The military helped me, dig out the house. Then they put in emergency glass panes, to keep out the elements. Then I dried the house, with drying equipment there was still a lot of damp in the floor and walls. And as it happens ? In autumn 1998 I got a new kitchen, in February 1999 it was destroyed. So I went to the carpenter and said: "Now make me the kitchen again exactly the way it was." So we made the kitchen again. Some of it of course I did myself, in autumn, when I came down from the hut because back then you could hardly get any tradespeople. You couldn’t find an electrician, everyone was completely booked up. That’s why I did a lot myself on my house. Until the beginning of December, I worked on my house every day. At the beginning of December I finished. Then you feel better and tell yourself: "Now I've done it myself, I rebuilt everything." So I’m happy about it. I think: "Now I managed to do that, so I will also manage the next step." Then I take the next step and manage as well carry on this way, step by step.
