Hello. My partner and I are planning to build a house soon. This is the first draft from the planner at the construction company. The design was created based on our specifications (a hand-drawn sketch from us).

Gable roof, single-family house, no basement, 1.5 stories, currently 2 people in the household; later 3-4.

The terrace is planned to be adjacent to the kitchen and living area, mainly facing west. Do you think it would be better to have it facing south instead? Possibly wrap around the corner near the living area?

Our requirement was to have direct access from the garage/carport into the utility room, and from there directly into the kitchen.

- Is the size of the utility room sufficient? All the building services should be housed there. Additionally, the utility room should also serve as a kind of pantry. Laundry tasks will also be done there.
- What do you think about the downstairs bathroom? Showering directly in front of the window doesn’t seem ideal^^.

After recovering from my uncontrollable fit of laughter triggered by someone who works only on the computer at their job and must not under any circumstances make a mistake because the boss would get angry (great company culture, I must say…), and who fails online to distinguish between two completely different usernames, I’ve been sitting on the couch with a huge bag of chips for quite a while.

q.e.d., says the mathematician in me *still wiping tears of laughter from my eyes*

Helpful contribution… or not? It’s just insulting toward me. Also completely exaggerated and distorted… so not such a helpful contribution after all… it’s a pity that one has no arguments and has to resort to these methods… I could break down where you exaggerate and distort my statements, but I’m tired of it… enjoy. As long as one laughs (you), the others don’t matter (me).

Well, it’s slowly becoming uncool... If I, as the original poster, were motivated, I would probably start a new thread (including all the necessary details right from the start)...

For example, I print out some emails from clients so I can check off what I have completed, highlight what is still missing, and so on – and so the boss can see everything at a glance. Because I don’t see him every day.

If I were the original poster, I would finally sketch the plot of land and ask the admin to delete all the clutter from my thread.

I would also finally like to see the plot of land.

Hmm. It can’t be a typo (for someone who would notice that immediately and without interruption) – so probably a blend of "insulting" and "intelligent"?

Wow, you found a spelling mistake… you’re the king here, I bow to you…
Best print it out and frame it. Hang it on your wall and enjoy.
