ᐅ What features did you include in your house, and what did you decide to leave out?

Hello,

When planning and building a house, you focus on the essentials and the budget. Some wishes get dropped along the way. But certain small luxuries or nice features are important to you, even if they are not strictly necessary, and you end up including them anyway.

For us, a heated conservatory was an unattainable dream. However, we treated ourselves to tiled, walk-in showers, even though they take up more space.

I would love to hear what you have given up and what you managed to include.

Best regards

I can imagine that some of you might find it interesting what is actually inside certain houses (and for how much). By the way, there are only a few things* where I felt like I "paid too much." Generally, the price-to-performance ratio is fair.

Regards, Steffen

* The landscaping was one area with a few points… but if you want to work quickly with a reputable and well-known landscaper, there is unfortunately no room for negotiation at the moment. The phrase "busy schedule" is a major understatement.

Well, there is surely something for every requirement and budget.

For me, it will first be the HDMI outlets and power sockets for the projector in the right places, [emoji3]


I also don’t give up my iPhone and iPad, but I avoid the signature when I’m using TT in the forum.

It can be changed, and I ask everyone to do so because it spoils the posts.

Best regards, Yvonne

No, I'm just too comfortable to switch it up. I don't really find it that bothersome, there are worse things.

I don’t really find it annoying anyway, there are worse things.


Haha, okay... then next time I’ll be too comfortable to answer your questions. If everyone had this attitude, this place would have to shut down. Thank you for your attention.

What I find unacceptable is the disrespect in your response. We are in a community, a forum, where people should treat each other politely and considerately whenever possible. Your reply is simply childish.

Even though most users here are anonymous, that does not mean it’s okay to completely disregard any rules of etiquette. And since you are relatively new here, you should try to adapt to some of the established customs of this place.

I’m not the only one who has recently been bothered by this (not specifically by you, but the general issue with mobile signatures).

Or do you feel less inferior because of your status?

While reading this, I rather get the impression that you sometimes come across as a bit arrogant.
That might also explain my response.
