Back to the topic of pictures. On Thursday, the underfloor heating pipes were not yet installed; by Friday evening, the screed was already poured.

More flexibility... turning the heating on and off whenever and wherever I want. And when the heating is on, it heats right away...
Cost savings—you might want to argue that underfloor heating is cheaper, but I simply turn off the heating, light the fireplace, and heat the entire house that way...

You can do it like that if you want, but I prefer coming home without having to light a fireplace, not to mention the cost, the mess it makes, and all the chopping, buying, and storing wood involved... I did enough of that as a kid and am really fed up with it.
Here, it’s almost always a comfortable 22°C (72°F), and the rest is managed by the self-regulating effect for me.

For example, also because of costs. One homeowner might have included it in their budget of 250,000, while another with a budget of 200,000 might not, and an extra 5,000 would be too much.
Your argument that you don’t even need to build without underfloor heating no one can believe anyway.
And a heat source is always a good thing.

I just saw an old apartment on TV... and dreamed

I react strongly to missing punctuation... but that might also be due to the writing program

Sorry, but that doesn’t make sense either.
Anyone with some knowledge will realize that the prices won’t really differ that much.

But fine, let’s just say yes and amen to every picture and everyone will be happy here.

Questioning things objectively doesn’t seem to suit many people in our society, and being straightforward certainly doesn’t.

That doesn’t mean I come home to 18°C (64°F). The heating is on here as well, set to 22°C (72°F), but for coziness we light the fireplace and, naturally, turn off the heating. This isn’t something we have to do, but something we want to do. Of course, everyone can do as they please. My opinion doesn’t have to be yours. And if you want to avoid work and mess, maybe you should consider renting an apartment without a garden.

That’s nonsense too. Just because I’m tired of working with wood and don’t want the mess, I really enjoy the garden we have. I won’t let anyone tell me otherwise… a garden is not a fireplace.

A fireplace is irreplaceable, as I have come to realize once again. Whether to choose underfloor heating or radiators is really a matter of personal preference; both have their advantages and disadvantages. Underfloor heating is more common and, for many, considered more modern. We have it as well and would not want to give it up. But without a fireplace, something would definitely be missing.
