Floor plan planning shortly before submitting the building application

Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like this will ever be a truly harmonious neighborhood with you, and personally, I find that sad.

That remains to be seen. With my parents, it's like this: they live in a semi-detached house and haven't spoken a word to the neighbors for 15 years and don't even acknowledge each other with a glance. The neighbor interferes everywhere. He once called a neighbor who lives across the street (!!) (I think about 30 meters away in a straight line from his house) and yelled at the people that the lady of the house was sunbathing naked in her garden. That was offensive and unacceptable, that he had to see that (retirees and the woman is a fit Latvian aged 30).

That's why an apartment, a terraced house, or a semi-detached house was never an option for us. You have no influence on who the neighbors are or how they behave—and even if you do, they can move away.

Do you like nosy neighbors who immediately ask all kinds of "intimate" questions, want to know everything, and through their remarks also make it clear that they see everything, know everything, and at the same time consider themselves a moral and regulatory authority? I find that difficult. I prefer people who behave more reservedly.

Restraint is sometimes not a mistake. Everyone knows everyone, and that for generations is not always great.

that the lady of the house sunbathes naked in her garden. That is offensive and unacceptable for him to have to see that (retiree and the woman is a hot Latvian aged 30 years).

Presumably his dear wife found it offensive and unacceptable that he was staring. That caused a commotion at dinner.

But back to your original question: that the wall build-up is perfect in only one percent of the wall area is probably factored in and tolerable. This is not a huge wormhole for heating energy if the bricklayers do not handle the Poroton bricks as delicately as Ming vases. And that something gets adjusted there sometimes also happens on other construction sites. The world does not end because of that (and it does not even invalidate the energy demand calculation).

We originally wanted to install a flush-mounted mailbox standing in front of the entrance, centered on the right side of the wall. According to the site manager, this is not possible because the insulation would no longer be guaranteed. He suggests installing the mailbox at the very bottom on the wall bracket, where there is no interior space on the other side. However, I think this would look absolutely terrible.

Now we are considering what alternatives there are. I think surface mounting does not look good. We also can’t quite get used to the idea of a free-standing post.

Anyone have any ideas.

We definitely want a mailbox solution that is compatible with the Gira 106 door communication system.

On the topic of neighbors, here is an anecdote from our current neighborhood. Our landlord parked a deregistered car on the roadside. A few days ago, a neighbor complained to me about it. I told her that I was the wrong contact person and that it didn’t bother me. On Friday, the police came to my landlord and told him to remove the car. It’s really intense what you can experience with neighbors. People are too proud to just ring the doorbell and speak up if something bothers them and instead call the police directly.

According to the site manager, we cannot do that because the insulation would no longer be guaranteed. He suggests installing the mailbox at the very bottom of the wall bracket, where there is no interior space on the other side.

Apart from what I consider a somewhat overly sanctimonious justification, the proposal seems sympathetic to me.

Really? I somehow find that box out of place.
