Dream castle realizable with a financing amount of €390,000?

As for the travel time: you won’t be the only ones trying to get through "before the big traffic." I’m noticing on my route as well that the times when it gets congested are starting earlier and earlier. Sure, it’s not yet the classic "school commute time" – being on the move at the same time as many pedestrians always means you can’t turn, pedestrian lights are red more often, etc. – but if the one-way trip is 45 minutes, it adds up. Apart from that, it gets interesting how to manage childcare later if normal working hours still come with so much travel time...
