Hello everyone,
We are building in Marl, NRW. Since I’m not a fan of basements and stairs, we decided on a bungalow without a basement. Fortunately, we managed to get a 964sqm (0.24 acre) plot with a sufficiently large building area.
So, here is our little house: a 168sqm (1,808 sq ft) bungalow with white plaster and gray-black shingles. We will be heating with a Rotex air-to-water heat pump (with underfloor heating). A Pluggit ventilation system ensures fresh air inside the house. The patio door will be completely flush with the floor, making it theoretically wheelchair accessible without any problems.
The main bathroom will have wood-effect tiles. Very similar ones will also be used in the hallway and the guest toilet to keep the look from getting too colorful. The living room, dining area, and kitchen will be fitted with laminate flooring. Our little one’s bedroom will have a simple carpet, and the currently unused second children’s room will get the old vinyl flooring from our previous apartment. Our bedroom will also have laminate.
Regarding the furniture layout: Our entertainment center will go on the drywall partition wall that stands in the middle of the living room, and in the corner opposite will be a large U-shaped sofa. On the back wall, there will be a catwalk for our three tigers, as well as a desk (for now). The utility room will house the washing machine and dryer, as well as the self-built litter box and cat feeding bowls.
About our habits: We mostly spend our time together in the living room and kitchen. Our bedrooms are mainly used for sleeping. Over time, I hope Junior will gradually spend more time playing in his room.
Current construction status: The “ground floor” is completely finished in terms of masonry. Today the roof frame was put up. Next week, the gable and chimney will be built up. The following week, the roof will be covered and possibly windows and doors installed at the same time.

If I do it myself, I won’t even pay half.
200 euros for the steel mesh
10 euros for the binding wire
20 euros for the tarp
30 euros for the backing battens
I haven’t checked the formwork plywood yet, but it won’t cost more than 200 euros either.
We need 6.5 m³ (8.5 yd³) of ready-mix concrete. It roughly costs about 100 euros per cubic meter (27 cubic feet).

The garage will be used with even more pride :-) My husband uses the garage. It is intended for his motorcycle. I prefer to use the carport. It’s easier to get the kids out of the car there.

The garage is used by my husband. It is intended for his motorcycle.My other steel garage—both are uninsulated, so basically "drip caves"—is built on strip foundations. The others in the row even have ash floors, but mine has been paved with concrete slabs because several "generations" of previous tenants were motorcyclists. Perfect condition, no cracks, no settling.
Out of seven garages, only one had a concrete slab floor; that garage was solidly built with masonry. The others, even those with concrete floors, had only strip foundations.
I consider shuttering blocks to be the most practical option for DIY builders.
