Hello everyone,
I just wanted to briefly introduce myself and say thank you.
For about a year and a half, I have been a silent reader here to gather inspiration and especially to gain more knowledge about construction technology.
Now a bit about me:
After more than a year of searching for a plot of land, I was able to purchase one from a developer who couldn’t move forward quickly with his plans.
So we found our dream plot (good location, 2500 m² (0.62 acres), slight slope, underground private spring that we have to preserve and are allowed to use).
There was an old house on the property, which we have since demolished.
There is no zoning plan, so §34 applies. During an initial informal inquiry at the building authority, almost everything we planned was rejected.
So we submitted an official preliminary building inquiry, involved the right people, and had lengthy discussions. In the end, we received a positive decision.
Therefore, there is nothing standing in the way of the building permit. The building permit should be granted within the next few weeks as there are no changes from the preliminary inquiry.
My wife (37) and I (36) want to build a Bauhaus-style villa in southern Baden-Württemberg.
It will be constructed from concrete (with core insulation) or in combination with insulated precast elements.
A lot of glass (full-glass system), textile shading, KNX, fast network both wired and wireless, strong mechanical ventilation with additional cooling coils, stainless steel pool, large cistern, and more.
The electrical planning must be 100% spot on since it’s almost impossible to make changes afterward.
Since I am friends with an architect from a larger firm, it was clear which route we would take. Such a house can basically only be realized with an architect.
I also personally know the electrician and KNX system integrator, as well as the owners and work approach of the heating, plumbing, and ventilation companies involved.
Some trades have already been contracted, and part of the equipment has already been ordered.
I’m really looking forward to getting started and to the final result. The goal is to move in by the end of 2019.
Once again, many thanks for the information I have received from you so far.
If you have any questions, just let me know.
Attached is the design, though not the final version. There have been a few minor changes.
Greetings from Swabia

... I might start labeling the server cabinet next month. It has been at our home for over a year now. I need to remove all the components again because otherwise, it’s too heavy to transport... I really don’t feel like doing that Hi, I can recommend the Brady IDXpert for this. It’s regularly available on eBay, sometimes even by the box with labels that are usually outrageously expensive (but available for every purpose, extremely good, and very durable). For example, years ago I labeled my dad’s water bottle with it, which regularly goes in the dishwasher, and it still looks like it was just applied! It’s not only great for cabinets but also for components and especially for labeling cables.

knalltüte22 Apr 2020 06:45P.S.: I would also really like to see pictures of the server cabinet.
I'm actually almost more interested in those than pictures of houses.

@superzapp I already have a larger labeling device. I need to check the brand and what labels are available for it.
The server rack is nothing special. The components have plenty of space around them so I can work on them more easily—so not arranged as professionally as it would be to save installation space.
The network infrastructure is Unifi.
- 1 x 10 Gbps router
- 1 x 10 Gbps switch
- 2 x 48-port PoE switches
- 1 x 48-port switch
- NAS Synology RS3617xs+ (64 GB RAM) with an additional 10 Gbps expansion card
- old NAS is used for additional backup (external and also offline backups already in place)
- Gira facility server
and a few other small items.

I’d like to see her reaction or whether she even knows these terms?

Normally, I tend to avoid comments like this. But I must say, with your down-to-earth attitude, openness, and this very interesting thread, you’re definitely gaining a lot of goodwill. Well deserved! Thanks and keep it up! It’s really enjoyable to follow the development of such a project from a distance and learn new technical insights along the way.
