What does "it fit" mean?
Our project no longer has anything to do with the original budget ideas.
The responsibility for this lies solely with us; no tradesman or service provider came up with unpleasant surprises. We knew that the extreme slope would pose a risk, and that has indeed occurred. Furthermore, we are aware that our many detailed decisions, which usually lead to a more aesthetic execution in case of doubt, are rarely budget-friendly.
Unlike many here, we are not young builders but somewhat older and have already experienced some financial development. Therefore, we act differently today than in 2001, when we moved into the current terraced house with parental support.
This summer we will have spent about twice as much as we initially planned with a different design just over two years ago after purchasing the plot, and we are happily moving in. In this respect, one can say: "it fits extremely well." Only the parents are a bit sad that we are leaving the area by about an hour's drive.
