Hanging house in the Southwest Palatinate - Our House Construction 2.0

Do you have some strange hobby, or why do you need two dishwashers? :D

The connoisseur enjoys, makes dishes dirty, and stays silent. :D

Seriously, I would say there are a few factors coming together for us. We are permanently working from home and therefore make cups, glasses, and snack plates dirty at home that others would make dirty in the office. Then some days we eat warm meals twice – either reheating leftovers or frying a few eggs for lunch – that also creates dishes. Then kids come into the picture, the cooking utensils in the evening, it all piles up a lot. And we almost never wash anything by hand.

I had that idea too but discarded it.

We also discarded it in the first house because we found it too strange. Back then we just said, “that would be somehow cool,” but it was too expensive for us. After living there for a while, we got annoyed and often thought, “all that’s missing is a second dishwasher.” Especially because I was bothered by the junk corner where the dirty dishes always stood when the machine was running or not running but something no longer fit in, etc.

Looks great ! It’s really crunch time for you now!
I’m a bit jealous, it will still take a while for us. So funny with your two dishwashers, we only have one, but two ovens…

I think that’s legit. Everyone as they need it. =)
With the oven, we had been eyeing that crazy thing from Bora, but it really was too expensive for us.

Yvonne has something to get worked up about again. After the second kitchen, now the second dishwasher is trendy. Of course, both raised so you don’t have to bend down.

I would never save money there again. In the first house we had a raised one, and now in the interim house one on the floor. My goodness, the bending down is so annoying. That’s also completely counterproductive for discipline. With the raised one, we emptied it much faster because it wasn’t so uncomfortable. With this one, we let it slide more often because we postpone emptying it.

Aren’t you worried about parquet in the kitchen?

No more than with the kids’ rooms. We chose a very rustic variety and assume the floor will simply develop a patina. We usually wipe up colored spots or similar immediately. From my experience so far, we don’t spill especially much in the kitchen, at least not on the floor. The worktop always has all kinds of stuff on it, but the floor rather little liquid.

When I cook bigger meals, I often wish for a second oven... How often do you actually use it? Is it worth buying?

We have an oven and a steam oven stacked on top of each other. We actually use them in parallel more often than originally thought. Spending that much money for it to be used about 20 times a year is quite a luxury. But if you have the option, it's pretty cool.

Edit: I also know people with two dishwashers. At work, we have that too – one machine always full and finished, and one empty and dirty. What doesn't get clean in the evening goes into the cupboard. Then the dirty one goes on, and the same game starts over again.

Even if I make myself unpopular because it's too late... but you have such great large tiles on the front side in the shower and then you piece them together?

And the kitchen is okay, but somehow looks out of place in the room. The wall side or the hanging cabinets could have been extended up to the window and the window pushed forward a few centimeters. And the corner shelf is so 90s to make use of leftover space. And the "hole" in the island will be a dust collector without purpose.

And yes, a second dishwasher is nonsense because for 2 hours a day that it runs, getting a second one is laziness when unloading.

Laziness (others call it convenience) is not nonsense.

I also think the kitchen is too open and gets a bit lost in the room. It might look different with full furnishing, but currently it’s difficult. Wall cabinets up to the window probably didn’t work because due to insufficient wall depth they would have protruded into the window, if my visual impression is not wrong. But if you can’t open the window anyway (which could be useful when preparing fish, right?), maybe it would have been possible.... :) What is definitely missing, is the tablet holder in front of the cooking plate, the head-up display for recipes, so to speak....

Laziness (others call it comfort) is not nonsense

Instead of the 2nd DISHWASHER, one could also have taken a built-in coffee machine...
