Construction of a 144 sqm bungalow in Fichtenwalde (near Potsdam)

ask, ask, ask and always ask nicely, no false modesty, and my wife also had the reputation that the boss wants to know everything :rolleyes:

Yes, the (lack of) communication is what annoys me the most.

The culture of fathers going into the delivery room may now be familiar to the hospital staff – but the construction contractors still have to get used to it. In the past, "turnkey" also meant "passenger, shut up": one could rely on the fact that the client only recorded the topping-out ceremony with the video camera and did not show up again until the handover of the keys. By the way, the botched work that was plastered over back then is still perfectly intact today :) All this meddling, including permanently accompanying pre-natal diagnostics, nowadays makes the business of stacking stones that shape rooms a rather uncomfortable affair. Everything was better in the past! :)

And that’s what annoys me. Especially since, as a controller, I want everything discussed and calculated in detail. I have to get used to it, but still keep on top of things :-)

You don’t always have to bring your job into your private life ;) It would be a disaster for most people!

Little anecdote: once, when I was again watching a trade at work with interest, I was warmly asked, "Are you the client?" My reply "You can tell, I have my hands in my pockets" was only answered with "Could also be the architect" :D

It's not the job, it's my calling to plan almost everything down to the smallest detail. I also set boundaries privately on a separate account so that large amounts like car insurance and repairs can be saved up immediately. :cool:
