Hello everyone,
I have often wondered what typical “building mistakes” from the 2010s and 2020s will be seen as in a few decades. Would you like to speculate together?
I mean, in the 1970s, it was considered stylish and modern to cover bathroom walls with brown tiles all the way to the ceiling and combine them with sunny yellow sanitary ceramics. Back then, no one could have imagined that this would one day be regarded as unattractive.
Will vinyl flooring and laundry connections on the first floor be seen as typical but now outdated features of our time? Floor-to-ceiling windows? “Smokey eyes” (dark window tinting)? Which elements will make the next generation shake their heads and wonder about our questionable taste?

In practice, I rarely see cables with just four conductors; usually, it’s at least 4-pair cables or two star quad cables within one cable; [...] at least in practical scenarios. I’m also aware of the theory that modern LAN requires at least Cat 6 or higher—but I have often seen this proven to be just theory after all. So the common panic about considering a house as ready for demolition just because you see an ISDN outlet is exaggerated. I remain quite relaxed about that until (rare) counter-evidence appears. In private settings, things are different from practical applications. In practice, there are warranties and standards. In private, I completely agree with you. However, nothing works with fewer than 8 conductors anymore—that’s outdated. But if the Cat 5 UTP cable runs past Karsten’s microwave, then YouTube won’t work, right?
The counterproof comes from the professional, since they have to produce test reports. And then that’s the end of the discussion.
Off-topic: By the way, what does your CV look like? Everyone presents a certain image of themselves, and yours is really interesting (seriously). A consultant (fell into it?), then to a window manufacturer, and finally an ISDN revitalizer, or how?

The problem with ISDN is its different topology compared to standard network cabling.If you mean the S0 bus: it is often wired in a "folded" manner (there are even special "S0 hub" patch panels for this) and can then be easily converted to a star topology.guckuck2 schrieb:
In private settings, no, but in practice, yes. In practice, there are warranties and standards.In medium-sized companies that is actually the case – but in large companies, it’s similar to private households; basically, non-compliance with standards is the norm.guckuck2 schrieb:

I have something else:
- open staircases
...I have a follow-up question. Why "open staircases"? In my opinion, they give a house a more spacious feel than "enclosed staircases." That’s why I’m interested in your perspective.
bauenmk202016 Nov 2019 14:44The biggest construction mistakes of our time are probably the thermal insulation measures with ETICS (not necessarily the mineral wool stuff but rather the plastic-based materials) on house façades! Homeowners will face a lot of frustration when it comes to renewing or disposing of these materials...
