Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

80€ were total.
Internet is quite expensive, directly at the gravel plant is better. If you get at least one three-axle load full, the delivery isn't expensive either.

I only have the toy driver's license, but conveniently my Octavia weighs just under 1.9t max and with my 1.5t tipper (good ton of payload) stays under 3.5t. The one from the gravel plant was very well-meaning at first and loaded the first trailer with 1.6t. That worked too, but it doesn't have to be repeated that extremely again ;)
I mainly got the trailer for the small quantities and of course the various trips to the hardware store. When I'm done, it'll be sold again.

So my prices are from the internet, but also at gravel plants themselves (a building materials dealer, who was even quite cheap). The one with 68 EUR / t I found on Minibucht, don't even know what kind that is.
But yeah, maybe I need to call a gravel plant without an online presence again, then there's less margin going to internet administration and prices might be cheaper. Or Berlin/Brandenburg is simply more expensive because of fewer natural deposits? I don't even know if gravel naturally occurs here. There's quite a lot of gravel here because of the moraine landscape.

Regarding the trailer, unfortunately in the initial construction phase I made the mistake of buying a used wooden trailer, which is quite spacious but unfortunately also quite heavy and has little permissible total weight (700kg). And I didn't pay attention that the unbraked towing capacity of my V70 is only 500 kg.
So I can only load my trailer with 230kg. Frustrated by that, I put the license plate and registration papers somewhere where I can't find them again and by now I would also need to renew the MOT. So it’s just standing around on my property storing wood scraps...

We have been baking ourselves for several months now. It is still significantly cheaper. I bake a large loaf 1-2 times a week (1000g dough, I don’t know the final weight). Roughly estimated, a loaf costs us 2€. It is also surprisingly simple. And very tasty. The children don’t want any from the bakery anymore, because unfortunately we no longer have a good baker nearby and the quality has bothered us for a long time. Of course, it is not a high-end three-year sourdough bread with five different grains. We now also prefer to make Sunday rolls ourselves; only toast bread we still get from the baker.

I only bought bread at the baker (not supermarket) yesterday and paid €2.15 for a pound loaf... Flour from the mill 2km away

Or Berlin/Brandenburg is simply more expensive because of fewer natural deposits? I don't even know if chippings occur naturally here. Gravel is quite common here due to the moraine landscape.

Here as well. Every 10 km there is a gravel plant. However, paving chippings mostly probably come from the crusher. But at least for the larger sizes, the difference between crushed/uncrushed in my quotes was about €1/t.

Regarding trailers, unfortunately, I made the mistake in the early construction phase of buying a used wooden trailer, which is quite spacious but unfortunately also quite heavy and has a low permissible total weight (700kg). And I hadn't paid attention to the fact that the unbraked towing capacity of my V70 is only 500 kg.

In hindsight, I would probably buy a trailer without a tipping function. I haven't used it so often that you couldn't unload it otherwise. But the tipping construction weighs considerably more. What I would definitely do again are folding sidewalls.
Braked is of course clear. It's not only that unbraked leaves very little payload. Handling a trailer is also much more convenient when you can just quickly apply the brake.

Yes, I was just too inexperienced back then and wanted to get it done quickly. But nowadays, I wouldn't buy a trailer anymore. You need them too rarely, and at least here in Berlin, you can get trailers from 25 EUR per day rental, so the whole hassle isn't worth it. If I had a chimney now, maybe. But then I might even rather get an old flatbed right away. They are already available for 5 TEUR and are even more versatile. Often you simply need the loading area. For 6m beams, a 2m trailer isn't enough either.

The postman earned only 6 percent more in 2021 than in 2011. I did not get this information from Telegram or Mr. Reitschuster, but from the economic discussion on DLF this morning. Anyone can listen to it later in the media library.

And DLF got it from a study by the Federal Statistical Office on the wage development of postal employees.

The study is not about postal employees (association with DHL/German Post), but about the entire industry, namely "postal, courier and express services."
