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.

I interpret the message completely differently.
Somehow it seems a bit ironically humorous to me Yes, we’ve also had our misunderstandings [emoji6] but things are actually going quite well at the moment [emoji4][emoji1303]
At first, I thought the message was meant to be funny or ironic as well, until, well, until the brief “Whatever. Have a nice day.” came. Of course, it could have been meant differently, but a simple “Best regards..” would have at least helped to avoid this misinterpretation [emoji4]

The site manager also spoke with the neighbor and shared his impression with me. But I can’t change it and have to live with both sides.

By the way, at first I also thought the message might have been meant as funny or ironic, until, well, until the brief “Whatever. Have a nice day.” appeared. Sure, it could have been meant differently, but a “best regards…” would at least have helped avoid this misinterpretation [emoji4]Well, for some people, “have a nice day” might be equivalent to “best regards.”
My girlfriend, who has a rather dry sense of humor, writes that way too.
I think the comment about the smoke is dry humor. The rest could simply be informational for the homeowner Hotzenplotz, about what the builders are currently “busily” working on.
I wouldn’t put too much emphasis on the information regarding other neighbors: on one hand, it shows that he is starting to trust Hotzenplotz, and on the other, I find it strange if people get bothered that “he” is called an a** just because he contacted the police about the noise. Of course, you can go yourself, but maybe he has little contact with that side? We don’t know enough to understand. Also “problems with the dogs”—yes, I would want a fence too if my neighbor has dogs. There’s nothing wrong with that... maybe the dog is always coming over?
It’s easy to judge when you only hear one side or jump to conclusions.
And yes, I would also be cautious and watch how this respected gentleman behaves. But I’d respond in a friendly, approachable manner. There are always two ways to handle things—as you can see well in this discussion here. Whatever..., [emoji2]

I deal with neighbors who are about 20 years older or younger all the time, and what usually doesn’t go down well—quite the opposite—is the “formally correct” attitude. I reserve that for my boss, not for the people around my home. What really counts is sharing a six-pack or a 2014 vintage under your arm, because you spend your free time together and might rely on each other during holidays or later in life.
