What would you do differently in your next house build? (For us, there won’t be a next time, but I think beginners can benefit from our experience.) Please stay on topic and avoid lengthy discussions (feel free to start a new thread for that)!

I’ll start:
* Electrician: A network connection in every room isn’t necessary; nowadays everyone uses Wi-Fi, which is perfectly sufficient.
* Us: OK, then we’ll install one network connection per floor where the TV is going, you have to save somewhere.
* Result: At the network outlet, we get 50 Mbit/s, Wi-Fi with a repeater around 20, sometimes only about 5, Powerline adapters around 25. It’s enough for me, but the kids are disappointed. I followed all the usual advice.

But we’re definitely going to treat ourselves to a beach chair for the garden. One with a small table for drinks and sky cushioning in an Obelix pants design. Yes, Karsten

No, how awful. I would never put something that ugly in my natural garden! I’m planning something more like this:


Metal pavilion in the garden with delicate ornaments and green lawn

Nice, but this seemed over the top here. A budget house, but a castle avenue pavilion... doesn’t work.

I can imagine a pavilion like this on a 3000 sqm (0.74 acres) plot with a large pond and mature trees.
I think the basket fits very well at Karsten’s place.

Hello,

Last but not least, toddlers in the room? A nightmare. They run in with their clothes on all the time.

Lol, yeah, our little one does the same. He always wants to crawl in while someone is showering. His big sister always has to hold him back, or we place the baby bathtub across the entrance... It’s always quite a scene...

Best regards,
Andreas

Okay, people from northern regions have different tastes. I personally find those beach chairs really ugly, even on the beach. I’d rather go for a nice wooden porch swing or something similar.

Not mine.
She really doesn’t like taking showers.
