Hello,

It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.

I'll start right away.

For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Before March 2014:



After May 2015:

Here it’s similar to what @Alex85 described. I get the impression that there is a first layer of tar applied, which is then topped with another layer after the main construction work in the section is completed – at least there are still a few centimeters missing around the curbs and manhole covers. Of course, it could also be that they remove it again and retar it. [emoji848]

@all Wishing you a good start to the new year. Travel safely!

That is just compacted gravel, possibly mixed with cement. I only asked because the finished road is part of the site development, and the deadline to complete the site development (according to the purchase contract) is tomorrow. )

At the signing with the notary in early February, the deputy mayor said the site development would be completed in summer. They were probably caught off guard by winter . So I hope that @11ant is right. Our architect already said that if things continue like this, construction won’t start until May or June.

Wishing you all a good start to the new year as well!

Sorry, I didn’t express myself clearly. I’m referring to the roads in our development area, not the ones in your picture [emoji4]

More likely just plain gravel.

At the signing with the notary at the beginning of February, the deputy mayor said that the site development would be completed in summer.

The fact that it has to be done within the same year’s summer is probably standard, but this road is definitely not finished yet.

What does your construction start have to do with the completion of the site development? The legal validity of the zoning plan is independent. I know many roads that were officially completed only many years after the last house was finished.

According to the building authority, we can only start once the site is accessible for construction equipment, and in my opinion, it is not yet. I do not want to risk repairing any damage to the curbstones or the subsoil at my own expense just because I prematurely allowed construction machinery onto the site.

The plan is to have the pile of soil (see photo) removed at the municipality’s cost after the asphalt has been laid, then have the site surveyed and staked out before starting work.

Even though zaba’s reasons are different, here’s another example from me: The purchase price is not due before the site development is completed, meaning no transfer of ownership, and therefore no construction.

This protects the seller and the city by ensuring that their own site development crew can still work without restrictions. Only when the development is finished and the areas cleared is the transaction completed and the plots released for building.

Actually... I still remember it a bit. Since I seem to have a hand in everyone's floor plans here, it’s important for me to understand how 1.5-meter-wide (5 feet) corridors feel.

I just measured. Here is 1.6 meters (5 feet 3 inches):

Corridor with gray tiles; building materials on the left, coats on the right; passage to room with wood flooring.


And at this spot, we have 1.27 meters (4 feet 2 inches):

Hallway under renovation: tiled floor, backpack on the left, coats hanging on the right clothing rack; passageway
