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:

What I like is the channel with stone instead of a grate and how neatly they paved around the manhole cover – that wasn’t planned, and I hadn’t given it much thought either...

Considerate contractors. Nice.

And actually, the path to the front door was too wide for me..

No, it’s perfect.

Yay, our foundation slab has finally been poured!

You have no idea how happy I am about every detail in your project where something solid is finally in place, especially since you’re so indecisive about options and want to know which one would be absolutely the best.

After some time, I finally have an update to share.

Yesterday, we held the topping-out ceremony; the shell construction is now practically complete.

In the coming days/weeks, the roofer and the window installer are scheduled to carry out their work.

.....I was talking about the logic of a heat pump working better with a proper hydraulic balancing than with a room-by-room temperature control (ERR) where the warmest room forces all others to slow down. You then have to run a higher flow temperature to heat that one room as warm as you want and reduce heating in all the others....wow, very efficient.

I'll just overlook the nonsense and bar talk here, since this is supposed to be constructive...

Nowhere did I say to use the ERR instead of proper hydraulic dimensioning. I don’t understand why an ERR would require a higher flow temperature. Different heating demands and desired temperatures for individual rooms have been managed since the invention of gravity heating systems by using larger or smaller heating surfaces in each room—not just since installing heating pipes in your bathroom. Just because many plumbers and planners use a rough rule of thumb and have to throttle overcapacity with the thermostatic radiator valve doesn’t inherently make the ERR bad.

The ERR should not be used as a wrist endurance exercise but rather additionally to cover scenarios that differ from the standard load case. A single room temperature sensor cannot achieve this either.

The ERR is not a comfort upgrade you can add on.....the ERR is mandatory according to energy-saving regulations....but it's total nonsense because most people don’t know how to operate a heating system properly.

The thermostatic valve is not to blame for many people fiddling wildly with the thermostat when they feel too cold or too warm. Ideally, these valves are set so they only close once the desired room temperature is exceeded and remain open most of the time.

Oh, and one more thing: if you’re roasting in your living room on a winter day with midday sun, you clearly don’t understand proper shading.

If you block out the midday sun with shading on a WINTER DAY (0°C) because you get too warm with the heating running continuously, I wonder who really lacks understanding here. Socrates was already ahead on this 2400 years ago.

the window-Heini

Please show a bit more respect for my former profession.
Why does the roof structure end well before the outer edges of the gable walls?

I also say Heini. I specifically explained this on my blog:

The use of the term "Heini" (e.g., kitchen Heini, tile Heini, ...) as a synonym for tradesperson is by no means negative.

It comes from the series "Tool Time / Home Improvement." The main character Tim respectfully calls his kitchen builder a "Granite Heini."

It is by no means meant in a negative way.

That is mostly true. But my grandfather Friedrich also referred to various craftsmen as “-fritzen.”

At least in the German dubbing...
