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.

Oh no, Höki. Hopefully, it can be repaired easily.
No, unfortunately not. The total waterproofing height is too low for that. We supposedly ordered it that way and even signed a document with the site manager confirming the exact height was requested. In our opinion, however, we ordered it as flush without a threshold and clearly explained multiple times that this is what we wanted. But now it’s not possible.
Well, we will now have a step or a small platform leading outside, and then the terrace will be installed. We will get used to it.

And then? – it looks like it could be flush without a threshold, including the paving, as desired.

Matthew034 Jul 2018 12:51@All those here who are so quick to criticize our kitchen or mutter "poorly planned" like a broken record... why not just ask first?
Something like: Why... etc.? Instead of: poorly planned!
The answer to the "why" would have been something like this:
Originally, we planned the kitchen in a completely different spot, including the windows and everything else, but thanks to this great forum, we changed our minds at the last minute (!). The advantages of the new location clearly outweighed the disadvantage that the window can’t be fully opened, and I still thank the forum members for convincing us to switch the layout.
Additionally, it was still planned (!) to extend the countertop all the way under the window, but unfortunately the site manager "forgot" to prepare that properly—unfortunate and frustrating. By the way, the window can still be opened and cleaned quite well. The construction company made a generous concession to us for this oversight, and the kitchen fitter provided a visually excellent solution for us. We really like our kitchen and are happy with it.
Taste (appearance) is subjective, of course. We like the color, so that’s what we ordered. Not because the neighbor has it or anything like that—we are definitely not four years old wanting a sandbox shovel.
As for the non-built-in refrigerator: please go ahead and integrate that if you have the space and the budget, especially for a side-by-side fridge. I love my fridge, really wanted it, enjoy my Havana with ice from the dispenser, and am satisfied…
All good, I can handle criticism, but not asking first is just too easy.

The main reason was sound insulation. A 12.5 cm (5 inch) drywall partition, filled and double-glazed, is better than a 17.5 cm (7 inch) Poroton block, not to mention the space savings. We didn’t want sand-lime bricks, although they would have been the best choice regarding sound insulation.This only applies if you had used the same Poroton blocks on the inside as on the outside. A heavy 17.5 cm (7 inch) Poroton block, for example, type T8, offers better soundproofing values. In addition, you avoid the critical transition from drywall to masonry in terms of cracks in the wall covering.
