Hello everyone!
As some users have requested before, I’m now starting a new thread with the current planning of our detached house, which is about to be finalized.
These are the preliminary drawings for the building permit / planning permission application, and I have one last chance to review them and point out any issues.
It still seems to me that there is less than 1.20m (4 feet) of space between the two wardrobes in the dressing room. Or am I seeing this wrong? Apparently, the rooms on the left and right were overlooked and not adjusted accordingly.
Two Velux ceiling spotlights are still planned to illuminate the upper floor hallway.
In the basement, on the right side in the upper room, a window similar to the one on the left basement side is an option.
We still haven’t decided on the T30 fire-rated door to the garage, even though it is shown in the plans. Most likely, for safety reasons and the limited use of the kitchen at the other end of the house, we will eventually forgo it.
User 11ant pointed out that the right window in child’s room 2 is suboptimally positioned. However, this could still be changed after submitting the building permit / planning permission application. Our architect thinks moving the window to the left would negatively affect the house’s exterior appearance. We’ll have to see about that.

We had to remind our painters several times that we did NOT want any fleece wallpaper and that they should really ONLY sand the already smooth Q3 surface and paint it.
It almost went wrong when the supervisor said he would call before they started, but when I came to the house unexpectedly, they were already in full progress and had the fleece rolls in the room. "Well, I thought at least for the drywall..." No, don’t guess—just do what you’ve been instructed.

Since we come from Bavaria, we were used to rough plaster, which is awful. Here, we have fleece on the ceiling, and the walls are plastered with quite a bumpy texture.
We didn’t want fleece because we want to see all settlement cracks.
I don’t have detailed photos that clearly show the quality of the walls, but we decided we don’t need Q3 plaster anymore because the Q2 was already applied very neatly. So, it was just lightly sanded.
The painters said that there would be three different surface types – plaster, ceiling, and drywall depending on the room. But that doesn’t bother us.
I don’t know how to describe it properly. Anyway, the ceiling is very smooth, the drywall surfaces are also quite smooth, and on the plaster you can sometimes see sanding or trowel marks or a small dent. So far, I haven’t noticed any major bumps.
So, we like it – but I’m not inspecting the wall with a magnifying glass anyway.
And as a note, because I just noticed it:
We don’t want fleece. It’s just expensive, and we had it on the ceiling in Munich, and it looked like wallpaper with visible seams between the strips. Also, cracks don’t bother us; as I said, we want to see where the building settles.
