No, you don’t have that in Northern Germany.

I don’t have it now either, and it has never bothered me.

Pleated blinds are, of course, installed from the inside!

Hmm... generally, I also prefer "open" windows.

Have you considered that a new house is more airtight than older ones, and that external shading devices help better control heat gain from solar radiation in summer?

Based on our experience with a new build during the summer, I wouldn't want to do without blinds anymore.
-> Bright inside while avoiding direct sunlight.

Thank you for your input.

I currently live in a newly built rental property and never felt the need for something like that. I consciously decided against it.

This is not meant to turn into a yes-or-no discussion about blinds or shutters.

The weather is okay; the fine plaster was applied in just one day... crazy... including the garage.

The color depends on the weather, we will see.

It already looks completely different = much better!

That was really quick.

My cladding was finished today...
Duration: just under 7 weeks with not a single day off
3 workers
5 days a week
8 hours a day
(breaks already deducted)

Aren't you exaggerating a bit? That would mean almost €30,000 more labor costs compared to plaster. Usually, the additional costs for brickwork are around €10,000 to €20,000. Something doesn’t seem right, or maybe only trainees and interns were working on it.
