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.

That's funny! I happened to look at your house on the architects' website yesterday and was really impressed! I took a screenshot of the kitchen and entrance area (the wardrobe cabinets are great, and the bathroom and EVERYTHING!) 😉
Great house, congratulations on this project!Thanks, I’m glad you like it!M
Matthias 403 Dec 2020 16:18@Climbee: The house is located in the Bavarian Forest, which is still thankfully quite green, and land prices are not inflated (90 Euro per square meter). However, the challenge was actually finding a suitable plot, which took me almost 4 years.
The house was built using solid construction methods (42cm (16.5 inches) solid brick, unfilled) and includes a basement. It is situated on a slight slope, so the kitchen’s appearance can be deceptive, but it is indeed on the ground floor. The window can be cleaned quite easily using a ladder.
The garden is still quite small or practically nonexistent, as we eventually ran out of energy and motivation.
I took on the construction management myself, together with an independent building expert, which in hindsight was invaluable—I can only recommend this approach. I contracted the trades individually.
The time from excavating the basement to moving in was a brisk 15 months. However, nothing was paved at the time of moving in; this was done on Saturdays from May to October by me, my father-in-law, and another helper.

You can be sure I’m really jealous of your plot of land. We would have loved to have a detached house like that, but we were just glad to have any land at all to build on, so you have to accept some compromises. But like this: right in the middle of the countryside! A dream!!!Oh yes, maybe even without a nagging neighbor *LOL*https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Yes, the Bavarian Forest area is a bit more relaxed in that regard. It’s a beautiful region—my ex was from near Untergriesbach. So I know the area, although it’s quite a distance from me.
I’m waiting for more photos and, as I said, I’m really interested in seeing the floor plans.

The kitchen looks like it’s not on the ground floor – if so, how do you clean the window from the outside? (this just caught my eye as a housewife...)The kitchen can be seen in the first picture (Post #9,785).

In the basement, there is a storage room for drinks and a second refrigerator, then the boiler room, another storage room, and two fairly spacious offices. However, mine has already been converted into my man cave. The house also has a second entrance on the north side, allowing direct access to the basement level.
