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Will vinyl flooring and laundry connections on the first floor be seen as typical but now outdated features of our time?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

So, where I live you don’t need a permit for this ....
Then you must be building in a very unusual country. Zimbabwe? In Germany, everything is regulated. Section 22 of the Federal Immission Control Act (BlmSchG) is the relevant reference. Here, the local building authority required a modification or adjustment of the heat pump during the building permit process because the State Environmental Agency identified that within the sound power level range of our heat pump, there is a construction site where a protected space could potentially be built.

A reduction of noise during nighttime operation was recommended as an approvable solution; however, for the sake of good neighbor relations, a different model was strongly suggested to us.

Your turn again.

In our case, no one was interested at all in which heating system was installed. A building permit / planning permission was also not required. And even if it were, as long as no one checks, it is pointless.

I checked. Yes, the type of heating system is specified in the building permit / planning permission application. Therefore, it is likely also part of the approval.

And now it’s your turn again.
Yes, it’s included in the building permit/planning permission, but it doesn’t specify which one, how loud, or where I can place it.... Bavaria.

And now it’s your turn again. Maybe you’re the one from Zimbabwe after all.

In the SH, it also does not state which one or where it is located; this information can possibly be found in the plans.

These egg timer-shaped lights that illuminate up and down on the facade or near the stairway.

Venetian blinds that resemble those from office buildings.
