Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Here is a very concrete offer from a Polish supplier. They are 8/6/8 double rod mats, hot-dip galvanized and powder-coated in gray. The price is net, but I was able to negotiate a little :)

Yes, from Poland, ask in M. The triple is not enough there!

And? The nice thing nowadays is that you can choose where you want to live. And with the shortage of skilled workers and the possibility of home office, job hunting is also quite easy.

And now tell me, how much is the plot + house of the person in M who wants to buy something like that worth? I suspect triple :-)

Well, you are the one who was looking for a privacy screen for a semi-detached house. The pictures show (ugly) galvanized railing, :rolleyes:

mmmhh, well. Below there are indeed unfortunately the ugly balcony supports and above the railing is also "only" galvanized. My wish would have been stainless steel here or powder-coated and dark green. But I couldn’t prevail. You can hardly see the railing because of the rather dominant glass panels. The posts below will probably be mostly covered by the future wooden privacy screen (hopefully) It’s just not always easy in real life to get everything your heart desires :rolleyes:

It fits semi-well here, but it's quite interesting regarding the pricing of hardware stores. I looked at a Makita lawn trimmer at the local hardware store...119€ without a battery. Of course, I compared and, with a 50€ saving, bought it online through a building supplies dealer. It was then delivered by the same hardware store as ours, just from a different location. Next time I'll try to negotiate right away.

Since you mention it. I got a 36 V battery lawn mower and grass trimmer from Bosch because there was a 4ah battery promotion, which hardly any lawn mowers have. You really have to compare a bit, as the prices varied quite a bit.

I received an email today from "our" container service with prices adjusted downwards (!) from August, after they had increased them in spring – with the energy surcharge introduced in spring remaining in place. I was still surprised by the lowered prices.
