There are people who get pampered in life and act accordingly, maybe they don’t mean it badly, they just probably don’t know any different. We had to manage building the house completely without support and two full-time jobs including children. When I read such remarks, my pulse races.

Interesting how one can infer the job from the times. Just by the way: I, for example, work shifts and am therefore probably considered unemployed by my neighbors, but I have a "full-time job". This discussion here is nonsense.

This is probably the most sensible post in the entire thread. It is drifting off now, but before rumors arise: it is no secret here, I am self-employed and have an online shop, which of course is a reason why I am online all day. I work from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday and yes, I also have to pay off my house myself. Of course, I also wish the OP that everything ends well. In the end, one forms an opinion here from tiny nuances, which in the end may be quite different. I personally have the impression that in this case the good faith of the builders was already quite pronounced and thus their own fault in the dilemma cannot be denied.

Phew, slowly you can put your popcorn cup next to the keyboard here. Please don’t get me wrong, there are problems and little issues. In addition, there are also various original creations.

Well, at least we're reading something from you now. I'm reading your name for the first time. (But I've only been here for a few months myself.)

However, the general trend is towards cheap construction and hoping everything turns out well combined with experts, which is too expensive for me... savings are made everywhere.
It was probably similar here.

But sometimes also necessary. For basement or hillside construction, I would always hire an expert.

The timing with your husband was really unfortunate. It is very helpful if, as an employed client, you negotiate some flexibility with your boss to possibly check in briefly from time to time.
You were able to get involved well despite having children.
Unfortunately, only dealing with the laws...


No, exactly not.
Normal life has a phase where everyone has to participate and must get out of their home routine.
This phase is doable. But there are also people who hide behind their children.


Your second name must be exaggeration!
No one is talking about 8 hours. But measuring everything after work should be a matter of course. You can also take the children with you then.



It is now what it is. Look ahead, was advised here.
That is also my advice.
Make plans for how to proceed, possibly with an independent expert.
I can’t imagine a staircase at 1.30. So no advice from me.

But this is also a good example that despite long planning, garbage comes out.
As a layperson, you unfortunately only take care of one-sided things, because you don’t have an overview of what else needs to be discussed and checked.
