Hello everyone and Happy New Year.
I have been following along for quite some time since my partner (31) and I (33) are now ready to start building our house.

That really looks practical!
Unfortunately, I still can’t quite get used to this layout in terms of the plot. The "wasted" land area to the north (top) seems useless to me 🙁 That’s why I’ve always tried to position the house as far up on the plot as possible.
