But the oven right next to the adjoining wall? Tell me how that wall will look after one year when the hot greasy steam escapes from the oven when you open it...

I don’t see any problem. How else should it be? One meter from the wall, or the wall closed off at the back so that moisture can collect nicely?

We had to come up with a solution for the dishwasher, the wall did not look good after 4 weeks

I can confirm that as well; a dishwasher right next to a wall gets dirty pretty fast. This time, I installed a wider trim (plinth, baseboard) along the wall. Hopefully, it helps.

I didn’t mean it was a mistake, it can definitely be done that way. I was just thinking about greasy steam that would travel directly along the wall when opening the oven. That wouldn’t happen if the oven had a certain distance from the wall.

Ah, I see what you mean. No, the wall is just as white here as it was before. The vapors rise upwards, not sideways.

So, when I roast a goose, for example, I regularly take it out to baste it or turn it. The same goes for roasting vegetables or plum compote. It can happen that a few splashes end up on the wall. Certainly not as much as with a gas stove splashback, but still some. Personally, it would bother me if I couldn’t access my roasting food from all sides because there’s a wall there; but it’s definitely doable.

However, I wouldn’t say it’s the ideal solution.

I don’t understand that at all; it has never bothered me. I turn vegetables without pushing the tray out, and if I do, I just place the whole baking tray on the countertop, finish everything, and then slide it back in. The workspace is right next to it. I don’t find an oven in the middle of the room ideal either, unless it’s installed directly under the cooktop... but then you’d have to bend down, so that’s not ideal either. Besides, doesn’t almost everything splash in the kitchen anyway? That’s really a minor issue compared to the dishwasher, which is much worse.

Today, the construction site is quiet because everything is prepared for the basement, which will start tomorrow.

Ready for the slab foundation!
Beneath the EPDM membrane is the insulation, which is of course not visible here:

The crane is already in place and waiting to get to work:

...and we didn’t even have to partially close the street for this because our soil (a mix of gravel and clay) is so solid that the crane can stand on it securely:
