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.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t sound like you will ever have a truly harmonious neighborhood, and personally, I find that a shame.That remains to be seen. With my parents, it’s like this: they live in a semi-detached house and haven’t spoken a word to their neighbors for 15 years, not even acknowledging each other with a glance. The neighbor interferes everywhere. He once called a neighbor who lives just across the street (I’d say about 30 meters (100 feet) away in a straight line) and yelled at them because the lady of the house was sunbathing naked in her garden. He said it was offensive and unacceptable that he had to see that (he’s retired and the woman is a fit 30-year-old Latvian).
That’s why for us, renting an apartment, a townhouse, or a semi-detached house was never an option. You have no control over who your neighbors are or how they behave – and even if you do, they can move away eventually.
Do you like nosy neighbors who immediately ask all kinds of "intimate" questions, want to know everything, and through their remarks clearly show that they see everything, know everything, and consider themselves as some kind of moral and regulatory authority? I find that difficult. I prefer people who behave more discreetly.

That this is offensive and unacceptable, that he has to see it (retired man and the woman is a fit Latvian, 30 years old).Presumably, his dear wife found it offensive and unacceptable that he was staring. That caused some tension at dinner.But back to your original question: the fact that the wall structure is perfect in theory in only about one percent of the wall area is probably factored in and can be tolerated. This is not a major energy loss issue if the masons aren’t handling the Poroton blocks as delicately as Ming vases. And the occasional small misalignment happens on other construction sites as well. This is not a disaster (nor does it invalidate the energy demand calculation).

R.Hotzenplotz21 May 2018 19:31We originally planned to install a flush-mounted mailbox on the wall to the right of the entrance, centered at standing height. According to the construction manager, this isn’t possible because it would compromise the insulation. He suggests installing the mailbox at the very bottom on the wall bracket, where there is no interior space on the other side. However, I think that would look absolutely unattractive.
Now we’re considering alternative options. I don’t think a surface-mounted mailbox would look good. We’re also not quite comfortable with a freestanding post box yet.
Any ideas?
We definitely want a mailbox solution that is compatible with the Gira 106 door communication system.
Regarding neighbors, here’s an anecdote from our current neighborhood. Our landlord parked an unregistered car by the roadside. A few days ago, a neighbor complained to me about it. I told her that I’m not the right person to address and that it doesn’t bother me. Then on Friday, the police visited our landlord and asked him to remove the car. It’s surprising what you can experience with neighbors. Some people are too reluctant to just ring the bell and talk if something bothers them and instead call the police immediately.

He suggests placing the mailbox at the very bottom of the wall plate, where there is no interior space on the other side. Apart from what I consider a somewhat overly cautious explanation, the suggestion seems reasonable to me.
