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Will vinyl flooring and laundry connections on the first floor be seen as typical but now outdated features of our time?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?

I can imagine that, especially when homeowners can no longer afford or want to pay for regular maintenance and servicing, they might become a bit louder and could disturb others. I also don’t find those that are not "hidden" somewhere but stand right next to the front door very appealing.

Yes, it's pretty intense how some people bother their neighbors with it... and that the neighbors usually have to live with it. If it's approved, then it's approved.
Snowy, be honest: I am surrounded by heat pumps. What annoys me? Nothing at all, really.
If I lived next to you, would I be allowed to start my Briggs and Stratton to mow the lawn? Would we be allowed to hang laundry on the line? Play badminton? Grill with charcoal? Have visitors over? Use a portable radio next to the lounge chair? Karsten
