Good morning everyone,
As the year is coming to an end, hopefully most projects for 2019 are completed. What are your plans for 2020? Any major projects in the garden or upgrades inside the house? What will you be working on next year?
We want to finally finish and move in by January/February, so gardening and the terrace will be on the agenda for next year.
My personal passion project is the hot tub. I just haven't decided yet whether to buy one or build it myself. I definitely don’t want one of those plastic ones...
A concrete one would be amazing:

Motto: How fast is nothing done.
Still, we’re always surprised at how much eventually gets accomplished and manage to get quite a bit done.

I think a flock/group of 4-5 chickens is roughly enough for personal use. Well, not if your sons eat scrambled eggs. I was at the company on a Saturday once, and three guys threw 20 eggs, a huge block of Gouda cheese, and what felt like half a pig into the pan.

Friends of mine also have problems with intruders. They have now converted an old, bricked-up pigsty into a chicken coop, and the adjoining grassy garden is the run.

- Step at the main entranceDo you already have any ideas? I'm not sure whether we should make everything on one level or include a step there...

pffreestyler14 Nov 2019 11:11I was in favor of simply paving with a slope, which I don’t find visually unappealing, it’s barrier-free and significantly cheaper. However, my girlfriend rejected the idea. So it will probably be a step about 24 cm (9.5 inches) high. For the edging, probably the brick used for the base masonry, with granite mosaic paving stones on top. Not ideal for snow and ice, but we hardly get any snow up here anymore and I have to spread salt anyway.

I don’t find that very reliable. After all, there is still no building permit / planning permission yet, right? The duration really depends on where and how you want to build. Is there a zoning plan for your plot? If not, then expedited procedures are off the table, and such a permit can definitely take months. There is a zoning plan. And since we are quite ordinary, average people, we are building in a simple, standard way—nothing special. Nowadays, the most distinctive feature might be the shutters, but we can do without them if necessary.
