Hello everyone,
I’m curious to know what items you might have removed from your house building and furnishing list after the initial enthusiasm wore off. Was it perhaps the electric blinds, the smart home system, the fireplace, a particular room, or other things?
If you removed anything, it would be interesting to know why. And for those who have already completed their build... did you regret any of these changes?
Thank you!

As I said, ivy can become a problem. It can even lift roofs on garden sheds, etc. You have to be very disciplined when pruning it. It itches and causes a rash. For cutting, I have to get a disposable protective suit and tape up my arms and legs. But the birds love it, and it’s just there.

There are three neighbors. One is a church-run daycare center, and two have not built yet, just like us.
One of them is very nice. The other is quite difficult. He has already caused us a lot of trouble regarding an easement granted to him on our property. We actually don’t want to do anything that he could possibly influence. If there have already been issues, then probably a steel mesh or something similar. The main thing is to have everything legally secured.

@truce Planting a hedge is on our to-do list as well. Do you have any tips on how to do it? What’s the easiest way to dig the holes?It depends on the soil—either a spade or a spade together with a pickaxe. When planting, make sure the roots point downward and are not twisted back upward—this will result in a healthier, better-growing plant and a nicer hedge. Avoid using cherry laurel, as it is like a desert for birds and ecologically unsuitable in this area. Beech, for example, stays fairly dense even in winter. You can improve the soil quality by using EM (Effective Microorganisms) preparations.

What’s the easiest way to dig the holes?First, we soaked each plant so the roots could fully absorb water.Because our soil was quite compacted, we started by loosening it with a pickaxe and then dug a trench using regular shovels. We piled the soil right behind the trench as a berm so that after placing each plant, we could easily push soil by hand back into the trench around the plant. Before planting, we trimmed the roots and scattered horn shavings in the trench – this was recommended by the online store.
