The family worked together happily and united, while the professionals ignored each other and showed no interest :-(Those tradespeople should do something else....
Being a craftsman is something you live for or you don’t.
My carpenter (also a master roofer) came to my site and inspected my roof from the scaffolding. Someone else had installed the roofing tiles; it wasn’t fully covered (it was summer and the roofer was on vacation).
He ran his hand over the roof tiles and said, slightly annoyed: “Such a nice roof tile, but why wasn’t the roof fully covered?”
He’s 60, but looks like 40.
It’s a pity; there are fewer and fewer like this.
Of course, this is becoming less and less common. Young people are also being discouraged from it. I've seen it with friends. A child really wants to become a baker. Even the doctor during the initial medical exam tried to talk him out of it. The chamber of crafts even wanted him to start later and do something else first. He is too young, occupational health and safety concerns, and so on. And this guy is totally dedicated to being a baker. I've rarely seen someone so relaxed after work. School problems just seem to disappear in vocational school.

Luckily, no one on our side knowingly had the virus, but it still changed life somewhat, and it was necessary to manage work time and childcare simultaneously. Overall, it worked very well, and I’m glad to have been able to spend this much time with the children since March. Since there was still quite a bit to do on the house, especially in the garden, there wasn’t much time left for the forum.
Financially, the lockdown did not put additional strain on us. We have now paid for nearly all services in full. It became tighter than expected towards the end, but the important thing is that we are now living in the house, have settled in, and feel very comfortable. The lockdown prompted me to reconsider many things and set new goals. Well, I don’t want to digress too much now...

Lawn terrace 1:
Lavender slope (210 plants) terrace 3. Now a colorful scene. Occasionally up to about 100 butterflies and countless bees.
And the house from the south side:
On the north side, we have progressed with the landscaping more than I expected. It was quite complicated with the many different fixed elevation points.
