You must be very young. My parental home had no bathroom, no hot water, a flushing toilet, wooden floorboards as flooring, which were polished from time to time, a coal stove in the kitchen, tiled stove living room, various rooms unheated, wooden sash windows double with outer and inner sashes, front door with a vestibule. The walls had wallpaper, the doors were painted white, high gloss, as were the windowsills. In the basement I remember the coal cellar, the potato cellar, the laundry room, and the room with the preserving jars. In the laundry room there was a zinc tub for bathing. That was around 1965. K.

The walls had wallpaper, the doors were white lacquered, highly glossy, as were the windowsills.

but at that time things were also quite different.

Yes. But not in the craftsman environment in which I grew up in rural SH. Father was a painter, mother a businesswoman, our place of residence had about 5,500 inhabitants. Coal for heating was still very common at that time,

I find the story indicative of the fact that money reproduces itself. Everything has always gone better. For those who had.

When I am lying on the couch now, the Ipäd at hand, the Sunday coffee in my belly, the cat purring, outside the autumn wind has chased away the summer, then I am truly content and know, all ours, not a cent of inherited money in it, and still paid for and the bank can go to hell.

A colleague of mine bought a house like this 6 years ago. He completely renovated the inside of the house, with an 80m2 split-level living room, huge basement with billiards, but he wondered why he had a 25,000-liter heating oil tank.

Well, now the heating costs are eating him up, or he renovates the still very well-preserved facade for a lot of money. Meanwhile, the 280,000 euros have easily become 800,000 euros, about 30 km to Stuttgart, 30 to Karlsruhe, etc.

Yeah, you have to be careful.. Typical energy mistakes were also glass blocks. They are the energy devil. High ceilings are also great. And super expensive to maintain. That's just how it is. Luxury costs.
