Hello,

It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.

I'll start right away.

For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Before March 2014:



After May 2015:

Next week is already the topping-out ceremony—time flies.

I meant the example more symbolically.

Here in our area, many new residential developments have everything done around the house during construction. They pave all the walkways and driveways, plant mature trees and hedges, and finally cover the remaining areas with rolled turf. The plots look like they came straight from the builder’s catalog within just a few weeks.

This certainly has many advantages, but in my opinion, many people are also taking the easy way out. It’s great if you can afford and want that, but for many, the financing amount is simply pushed so high that you don’t have to do anything yourself—other than paying back the loan to the bank.

I would really like to know what something like that costs with a
home builder...

Hmm, and paving should be done right away, shouldn’t it? Otherwise, you’re walking over pallets to get into the house for a whole year...

Paving immediately is not always advisable. When, as in our case, a lot of filling is required, it is better to wait until everything has settled.

Since my uncle, who has been working as a self-employed master carpenter for 30 years, is installing the windows and he is very precise, I’m not worried so far. Where should this membrane extend—just at the bottom or all around? I have no experience and don’t know how our windows will be sealed (maybe there are different methods?)...

Hey! Just google "the forgotten connection," a post by H. Wetzel. If everything is done like your uncle does it—perfect!

If you mean a general contractor, you probably don’t want to know: those who actually offer this kind of service tend to be significantly more expensive (most avoid such complex projects and focus on quick masonry work). If you really mean a developer: I haven’t heard of anyone going beyond “turnkey” to offer a “blooming” package. The lawn in the animation image is from the photo taken before the excavation of the building pit.

Where can we see your property?
You are practically the ultimate advisor here, so you will probably make your property available as well, right!?
