Hello everyone,
Now that our house construction is complete, I could really use some input, as we’re a bit uncertain and out of ideas.
This weekend, we will have an excavator again for a few weeks, and we plan to build a carport and a dry stone wall.
At the time, we thought we would implement it as shown on the site plan. But now, in practice, we don’t find it so appealing anymore :-(
The carport area on the north side is also supposed to serve as protection against wind and noise from the north, and a construction site container (3 x 6 m (10 x 20 ft)) is to be integrated.
On the site plan, it is shown positioned crosswise (marked as a shed), with two parking spaces in front... however, 5 m (16 ft) between the house and the carport now seem too much to us. We are now considering placing the container lengthwise, with one parking space next to it and an uncovered parking space between the house and carport... but I’m not quite sure.
The entire access to the property does not match the reality on the site plan... at the moment, we drive across the neighboring property below on a direct route to the house (and would possibly like to continue doing so—as there is a registered right of way). This would also eliminate the small path from the front door to the east...
Do you have any ideas? We cannot move closer to the northern boundary (which is also unnecessary), but we cannot shift further down (east) either. (Turning radius for agricultural “heavy-duty” traffic...)

The paths around the house have been paved... but that’s about it. When you’re managing everything as a side project while working full-time, progress really slows down. At least the site no longer looks as much like a construction zone as before...

Something missing? That could be featured in "My Beautiful Garden." 😱 😀 Thanks... but somehow there still seems to be way too much "sterile" (lawn) area :-(
The plants are just so ridiculously expensive, and I also have a small (actually quite large) vole problem. I basically had to start almost from scratch again this year.

Grillhendl27 Oct 2022 10:20Currently, we (actually mostly my husband) are working on building the carport. Since the trees had to be cut down and taken to the sawmill first, it has taken some time. At least the minimal goal (roof on before winter) has been achieved.
