I find dark tiles terrible. But what I really like are your windows!!! And the windowsill! Is that wood too? And is the window made of wood or is it laminated? We have white windows on the inside ourselves, and that’s one thing I would like to do differently afterwards[emoji30]

Hi, this is our current rental apartment.
These are wood-aluminum windows.

My wife doesn’t like the wood look.
We will have white windows in the house (PVC [emoji19]).

The windowsill is untreated oak.
Stylish but sensitive.

Yes, the hose... where it’s connected, the water comes directly from the cistern... that connection was there from the start... we later added the others from the potable water supply as a backup... at the planning stage, I didn’t know I’d end up with a hose holder like this or where I’d fix it[emoji2][emoji6]
The facade is insulated... so I didn’t want to drill into it, or at least I should have known that earlier.
Well... you can’t plan everything[emoji85]

Hello, this week I also installed my 17m² (183 sq ft) terrace with porcelain stoneware tiles. How are you handling the transition to the lawn? I have a similar threshold. So, tile meets lawn (ground) — or are you planning to add an edging? At the moment, like with us, the gravel would spill out.
Did you do everything yourself? Water jet and so on? Luckily, I only had to make one cut, plus one core drill for the drainpipe.

The transition will be done as follows.
I lay a geotextile membrane on the drainage concrete and then place the soil directly up to the tiles... The lawn will be slightly higher so I can mow right over it.
My friend handled the water jet cutting; he cut everything that goes into the reveals.
We did the cuts for the L-shaped parts with a wet cutting machine.

Yes, the water connection isn’t ideal, but it can’t be changed anymore... and since I only connect the hose when needed, it’s manageable.
You simply become calmer, and with an architect-designed house, you can’t plan everything 100% perfectly from the start. I don’t think everyone considers at the beginning where and how to mount a hose holder later or whether they will even buy one[emoji23]

Probably not for most people out there, but here in the forum, they analyze these kinds of details down to the last washer.

I didn’t understand that. Why is it not allowed to attach a hose to the faucet next to the hose holder if the facade is insulated? Or is that not a faucet next to the hose holder at all?

I basically don’t get the connection between facade insulation and the faucet :-(

Well, you should minimize drilling through insulation, that’s obvious, right? That’s why the conduit is attached to the wall, not the house itself.
