So it didn’t rain… but the neighbor, 100 m (330 ft) away, politely thanked us for our attempt to water his flowers that are not even there yet^^

@Nordlys No, several companies from the village or neighboring villages. By the way, my girlfriend has been raving about your table for weeks. It will probably be in our house soon too...

@MadameP All good, I understand the comment and don’t take it badly. I know he doesn’t mean it in a negative way.

Thanks. I’m not interested in badmouthing anyone’s taste. I’m just sharing what I think. I’m not American where everything and everyone is “great” or “fabulous” but then people start gossiping behind your back.

For example, I like textured wallpaper ceilings and I don’t understand why everyone tells me it’s “horrible” in a newly built single-family home.

When I told my father that I might have textured wallpaper applied, he tried to talk me out of it. “How could you...” but he himself covered the whole house with textured wallpaper.

Textured wallpaper ceilings, great *LOL*

But tolerating bricklaying irregularities truly requires a lot of patience at times. Ommmm ...

However, I really like the cornice with the angled bricks. The "Bauhaus plaster" style doesn't even come close to that for creating Smokey Eye effects.

Funny...

Here in the north, brick veneer is standard and somehow considered a must-have.

Plastered facades are seen as something for people with a limited budget who order a catalog home as standard and want to avoid any extra costs...

(This was said in a harsh and exaggerated way)

I’ve heard that. Near the Dutch border, everything is done with brick facades. Here, people look at you funny if you want to use brick.

However, a brick facade is not more expensive because it’s higher quality, but simply because it’s more labor-intensive.

I’m also from the North and consider brick cladding a “must-have.” Rendered facades always seem “cheap” to me... I can’t help but think of dirty, aging rendered houses where the render is starting to crumble.

But on one hand, it’s a matter of personal taste, and on the other, what is considered the “standard” varies greatly by region.

This was one of the few discussion points before building our house. My wife really wanted a rendered facade, and I was set on brick cladding... so we ended up with a mixed facade (the photo was taken at the end of 2017):
