Hello,
I was working away from home this week and stopped by the construction site briefly this evening.
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
The main contractor installed the interior window sills, but they protrude by at least 10 cm (4 inches), and probably around 8.5 cm (3.3 inches) after plastering.
Isn’t that unusual nowadays?
That was common practice in the past when you needed to hide radiators underneath.
Now all the issues begin, but surely it can’t stay like this, right?
Best regards,
Daniel

Quick different question: How are windows sealed airtight? Isn’t the connection tape for the interior plaster missing?It could also be that compressible sealing tapes were used.W

But for the other problem, unfortunately, no amount of drinking will help. I'm actually about to throw up; this is really frustrating me.

I mean, he can't know whether you want narrow or long, and since nothing was specified, he might have assumed you didn't mind.Impressive customer service! Hmm, I’m not sure how the client wants it... oh well, I’ll just do it somehow! Why would I even ask the CUSTOMER how they want it? After all, I’m not building the house for the customer... oh wait, actually I am! Well, whatever, I’ll get paid anyway...
I have nothing more to say about that...
