Do you have a tendency towards perfectionism when it comes to the house?

Could/can one find you anywhere in the professional world? It would fit if you supported your husband at home in the classic traditional female role.

That was never an option for me. On the contrary, I have been continuously employed since I was 17 years old. ;-) However, we shouldn’t delve any deeper into this here, unless you come to our open house day, which I have already announced here several times. :)

So, with our house, we achieved 99.x%. It was over 2 years of meticulous planning and then just over a year of the construction phase during which I was on site almost every day for several hours or the whole day. Due to the concrete construction method with exposed concrete, you have to plan accordingly…

I personally am usually on Team Pareto and get along well with that :) But there are things that are (important to me) and there I make sure that they turn out as well as possible. It’s the same with our renovation. Important rooms (and the technology - but not by me) are, for example, planned precisely. We are spending quite a bit of money, so I want the result to be the best possible.

With you, I have honestly sometimes wondered why you are building new at all. Because you had a house, if I remember correctly, right?

Best regards

What is perfect? My best friend bought a truly magnificent existing house which, however, is rather suboptimal for a life with three children and the home-based profession as a graphic designer. His office is now the sauna in the garden shed... but he still wants to move into the pantry. For him, that is perfect - the five of them are enviably relaxed and overjoyed in their house.

I have honestly sometimes wondered with you why you are even building new. Because you had a house, if I remember correctly, didn't you?

... and if I remember correctly, about a four-hour drive from the new place of residence ...

We moved from Baden-Württemberg to Saxony at my request.

... and if I remember correctly, about four hours drive from the new place of residence ...

It was always clear to me that when I achieved financial freedom, I would move somewhere else. And that it became the Leipzig district is a happy coincidence; I could never have planned it to turn out as great as it has. :)
