Hello dear members,
I discovered your lovely forum thanks to Google. Unfortunately, as is often the case, a problem has brought me here.
We are building an extension onto an existing semi-detached house in Baden-Württemberg.
We are building on a slab foundation. The friendly neighbor built his half with a basement.
We live 70 kilometers (about 43 miles) away from the construction site.
Therefore, with both of us working and having two children, we cannot be at the site all the time.
Yesterday morning, the workers began setting the formwork for the slab foundation.
When I arrived at the site yesterday, my friendly neighbor was already there waiting for me.
He yelled at me quite loudly and was extremely angry.
He said that the slab foundation towards his side was insulated only with Styrodur (extruded polystyrene).
One of the workers tried to explain that in addition to the Styrodur, a 4 cm (1.6 inch) soundproofing wall would be installed along the house.
Still, he did not calm down.
He just kept yelling. He said he would take pictures and that he would refuse to pay.
We have no intention of demanding any money from him.
I was really shocked!!!
Actually, he should be worried, since he built 3 cm (1.2 inches) of his house’s total length over our property boundary.
What is the legal situation here?
I told my husband about it.
He wanted to see a lawyer right away.
For me, maintaining peace with the neighbor is more important.
Please excuse my spelling mistakes and my lack of knowledge. I have two children and need to keep them happy at the same time.
Thank you,
Sandra

A string of clichés, especially everything you always wanted at your wedding. Everything has to be there, from the carriage to the white dove, the castle (garden), and everyone just has to be perfect. But Barbie shouldn’t marry Alessandro there, only Ken.

The conversation didn’t go very well.
My site manager told me he just doesn’t want to understand.
He wouldn’t consider any arguments.

Tip from the site manager:
Just ignore it for now. Unless he gets aggressive. Yep, just keep building as approved for now.

Not yet for me either. However, until now the parents have always said: Not now! Sit still. Playing comes later. The children listened, and so games, the cake’s driveway, or the bridal couple’s dance were not disturbed. That’s it. Yes, and unfortunately, that is no longer the case nowadays!
Couple 1 lets their baby cry during the ceremony and doesn’t step outside.
Couple 2 can’t even manage the 100 km (62 miles) trip without stopping 8 times (!). (My father would have had a thing or two to say if that had happened.)
Couple 3 are the total helicopter parents and freak out just because there’s a pond nearby.
Couple 4 asks if any games have been organized for the kids and whether there will be fries—because if there are no fries, what is Kevin supposed to eat? He doesn’t eat anything else.
It’s not the kids who are the problem; it’s the parents. And now try telling them that you want to have them as your friends present but as parents, they really fail...
