ᐅ Location of a city villa or detached single-family house on a 500 m² rectangular plot

I would say the same if I didn’t have to live in the house and just wanted to finish quickly.

Just to emphasize again: My HSL foreman really insists on delivering proper work, and if a necessary preliminary task was done poorly, he would say so. He said the most important thing is north-facing. Whether it’s northeast or northwest doesn’t make much difference; he can manage that. Today's heat pumps are "adjustable" enough.

Are you sure this is really a problem? The adjacent panels should actually, uh, lie flat, firmly on the floor, right?

Well, as I said, I already had that problem during installation with very narrow pieces in real life. I can also imagine that with pure EPS on top it might still happen even after the screed over the years, vibrations, etc., could cause the perlite to settle. That can’t happen with hard wax or bitumen-coated perlite because once pressure is applied, it bonds and keeps its shape, so it’s fixed in place. But before I had panels on top, during installation, even that type would have perlite slipping underneath the pieces. At first, I taped the joints, then later I used mounting adhesive because it was faster. This didn’t happen as easily with large panels.

That is probably meant positively (for @pagoni2020), right?

I’m happy to elaborate further.
My impression of @pagoni2020 from the forum was of an elderly, reserved (and maybe somewhat stocky) man of average height, with salt-and-pepper hair and a full white beard.
Kind and with the vibe of a kindly uncle who tells stories.
But I actually met a tall, slim, vital man in the prime of life, with a youthful aura and energy, combined with the presence of a worldly professor who lectures at international conferences and a hint of French bohemian style. Add a bit of Swabian wit and the savoir-faire of a Cuban casino owner, and you have a perhaps somewhat exaggerated picture of @pagoni2020.

So, now go ahead and turn a little red!

Back to my construction project:

As I said, I was quite exhausted, and the fact that the exterior plaster was almost finished except for the base was some consolation...

View from the street

View from the side neighbor onto the large stairwell window and the main entrance as well as guest bathroom, you can see the core drillings for the mechanical ventilation system

View from the rear neighbor onto the garden side (through the window you can see a bit of @pagoni2020 insulation)

Another view of the back of the house from the rear neighbor’s perspective. Kitchen window and side entrance door (main construction door)

Again the garden side (also in the house photo thread)…

So, I would have liked to show you pictures of the underfloor insulation. But I was actually so busy that the idea didn’t even occur to me. I also didn’t document any progress stages. Crazy.

Now here are pictures of what rests on the underfloor insulation. I think I must have done something right...

Guest bathroom – nice small manifold also in the shower

Main living area – larger manifold but also much larger total floor area. Approved by the poodle...

The utility room with the heating circuit manifold does not have its own thermostat. That wasn’t originally planned, but apparently it should be enough. I will check with the foreman again whether that will remain so and whether it might have been better to center the supply line installation...

Hallway with recess for the staircase footing (according to the stair builder not necessary, but better safe than sorry).

Your project is really impressive! rentschler-lüftung de

Thank you very much. The last few days, and also whenever my general contractor annoyed me, it was sometimes quite stressful, but I definitely learned a lot for the next house and I’m happy if my post here helps other builders or those planning to become builders.

Now a few more pictures of the underfloor heating:

Main bathroom with bathtub recess, otherwise a nice small heating circuit

Again in the main bathroom, neatly installed in the shower area...

The heating control valve on the upper floor is in the older child’s bedroom. He will have it nice and cozy. That’s probably why the heating circuit is a bit larger...

Here are the rest of the child’s bedroom

Small child’s room, which will initially become my wife’s hobby room.

Hallway, which doesn’t need much heating...

Another child’s room, initially chosen by my wife as a dressing room...

Bedroom, or more precisely, my wife’s room...
The installer said he hadn’t laid pipes this close together for a long time, but he knows why—heat pump, etc....

To be continued...

The heating system looks good,
but if the older child sleeps with the window open, the heating efficiency drops by 0.003 points.

That's why I have lockable valves. He doesn't get the key... :p

Pudel

My wife isn’t really interested in this forum at all, even though our floor plan was created here.

Exception: Pudel!

It looks really great. Respect for the self-build effort. And now even heating in the shower!

My wife is a bit disappointed that the underfloor heating won’t get properly warm (efficiency and all that). I said she could put the poodle on her feet. She just tried it. That’s enough for her. 😀
