Hello fellow home builders,
we have started constructing a single-family house. The approved building permit / planning permission includes a gas heating system, which we still want to install.
There are two possible scenarios:
1. What happens if the heating system is installed in October 2023, but the house is only inspected and approved in February 2024?
2. What happens if the heating system is installed in January 2024, and the house is inspected and approved in May 2024?
Both options are difficult to plan for. So far, we do not know whether the construction schedule might be delayed.
I haven't found any information on this. Do you have any further details?
Regards,
robert0815

I believe this is the majority, around 80%. Whether there are tipping points, whether measures can still help against them, and which solutions are the most effective are still open for discussion. Unfortunately, the parallels to COVID-19 are clear, and we all know how it started and what was left of "the science" in the end, right?

Bausparfuchs27 Apr 2023 22:22The question posed by the thread starter—whether to choose a gas heating system or a heat pump—has only become relevant in recent months.
However, it feels like citizens are being restricted in what should be their free choice.
What would happen if, starting January 1, 2024, the sale of combustion engine cars were banned? Why aren’t they simply prohibited? The effects of banning certain heating systems are quite similar, with the same consequences. Only electric vehicles would be allowed for sale. Repairs on old combustion engine vehicles might still be possible. Cars up to 30 years old would have to be scrapped. It would be exactly the same.
People just aren’t brave enough to do that yet. Not yet.
You can clearly see how unsettled people are from the posts here. The confusion couldn’t be any greater. I spoke today with an acquaintance who works for a company in northern Bavaria that manufactures windows, doors, and building components. Their business has dropped by 80 percent. Short-time work is imminent. Last Friday afternoon, I was at a shopping mall. It was empty. In the shoe store, the electronics store, and the clothing store, I was the only customer. I was even alone in the ice cream shop. Tchibo had its worst year in company history, Aldi posted losses for the first time in 2022, and ZF is outsourcing. The money just doesn’t come in by mail.
“We can’t all sit in a Berlin co-working space with a MacBook and a chai latte inventing the tenth dating app. There are also people who need to work with their hands and get them dirty.”
As I said, the green dreams are fine and good, but unfortunately, we are not alone in the world. I’m in my mid-50s now, my house is paid off, and I have finished renovation, remodeling, and refurbishment. For me, there is no reason to take on new debt or to renovate my house again.
Even though I don’t support—for example—the climate activists who glue themselves to things, I respect their actions. Why? Because they stand up for their cause and fight for it—radically and relentlessly. I do not agree with their goals, but I must respect the way they protest. Other social groups could certainly learn from that.
We are only at the beginning of a development and are increasingly being driven into planned economic market interventions. First the heating mandate, then rent control, and finally the collapse of property prices. Electricity and gas prices are regulated, rents keep rising despite regulation, construction costs and the prices for heat pumps keep rising further due to pointless subsidies. And it keeps going like this.
Gerhard Schröder is just as much a friend of Russia as I am. Does that make Schröder or me a bad person? I am fluent in Russian, grew up around Komsomol members, studied Lenin’s biography, maintained pen-pal friendships with Soviet youth for many years, visited Russia several times, my wife is Russian, and I am a member of the German-Soviet Friendship Society. Why should I hate Russians or Russia? Are they bad people? Is Putin a bad person? No, of course not. If Baerbock wants a war with Russia, she can and will get one. But she will gain nothing from it.

It’s a German problem to always play the moral authority, often in a one-sided way. Bush and Obama also have a lot of blood on their hands, yet nobody seems to care about that.

Don’t worry, I’ll come up with something nice again. Honestly, I don’t even remember how many accounts I’ve had here so far, but there have been quite a few. My personal favorite was Haubentaucher, by the way.
Wladimir Putin, like me, is an avid judoka. A sport that combines mind, body, and strength in harmony. And the iron judoka rule is: We always stick together. This Japanese rule has existed for more than 1000 years.
