Hello,
It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.
I'll start right away.
For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

The front door is installed. Another milestone, yet there’s still an incredible amount left to do. I really like such a discreet front door. I will take it as inspiration for our house. I think scavenger hunts are fun, even for adults.
Grilled chicken is definitely not my style, but your house is so harmonious and fitting that I’ve rarely seen anything like it. Beautiful! You really expect Michl and Madita to come running around the corner.
And the property is a dream! *sigh*
I wouldn’t do much with the garden either. A vegetable garden enclosed by a picket fence is a good idea. Maybe I would add a bit more privacy with a natural hedge, but using native shrubs for that as well. How is it with the wind? The property is quite exposed. Doesn’t it get windy sometimes? I would take that into account when considering a hedge and design it as a windbreak. And such a hedge doesn’t have to run along the entire length of the property but can cover just a few meters as planting.
A wildflower meadow takes time and a strong tolerance for so-called weeds. I’ve seen instructions that simply say: do nothing, wait. It takes at least 5 years for a wildflower meadow to develop naturally from fallow land or a maintained lawn. It’s important to mow only once or twice a year (when exactly you can find on the internet) and to accept what we usually call weeds. I don’t know if I could manage that, but I believe it works. The most beautiful wildflower meadows I’ve ever seen were untouched plots of land for years, probably created in just that way.

Usually, the reason behind such profile pictures is to lure rather desperate complete nerds, who then send hopeful private messages that lead to some kind of chat relationship. Ultimately, these end up in PayPal payments to the "beautiful woman’s" account, either in exchange for guaranteed FULLY genuine photos with less clothing, or alternatively for plane tickets to finally meet and embrace at the airport. Which home builder has money, time, patience, or energy for something like that? Also, the shared happiness of "... and they lived happily ever after ..." in the new home can quickly come to an end when the spouse finds out about it.Pinkiponk schrieb:

And here are a few interior views
Hallway with cement tiles (pattern and color chosen personally)

Bedroom with a view

Unfortunately, the living room couldn’t accommodate a larger fireplace, so the stove insert was integrated into the chimney stack:

Kitchen: not fully installed yet

Guest bathroom: still needs work everywhere....
[ATTACH alt="fullsizeoutput_2388.jpeg"]49441[/ATTACH] Wow. I’m in love! Absolutely harmonious! I would have liked those tiles too, but I didn’t have the courage, and besides, they wouldn’t have matched the exterior. Really fantastic!
