Hanging house in the Southwest Palatinate - Our House Construction 2.0

Hello everyone!

Thank you very much for your feedback and the many compliments. We are also blown away by the entrance area and how wonderfully the craftsmen managed to make it look so harmonious. The 45° cut on the corners was certainly not easy to do. But it already looks first-class. Even the construction manager likes it.

The first shower in the new bathroom was amazing, after living for a year in the musty 60-year-old bathroom. From the shower, I can look out over the whole village. :eek:

The photovoltaic system is running. Despite cloudy skies and a rather unfavorable roof shape, we have had good yield so far. On the first day, we fully charged the car right away. On the second day, we were already wondering what else we could turn on so as not to "give away" too much of our precious electricity to the utility. Car full, house battery full, washing machine running.
We were initially skeptical about the house battery. In the usual photovoltaic communities, it is always said that it is rarely economical. But we got ours quite cheaply, it has a long warranty period, and I think we will get more cycles than the average household. On the first two nights, we completely drained it each time. However, I also took two baths in the evening (I am in seventh heaven now that I have a bathtub again), and afterwards, the heater made hot water with the heating element. I still need to talk to the plumber about that. Actually, we shouldn’t waste so much electricity so that hot water sits in the tank again at night. Especially not with the heating element. But the plumbing introduction has yet to take place, and we haven’t got the app running yet either. That’s still to come.

But I think that with the base load and our gaming in the evening, we will almost drain it even without the water. And it would be nice if a few percent are left in the morning so that we don’t have to draw power from the grid before the sun rises. That was the case yesterday. We drew 3.8 [kWh] from the grid, generated almost 50 [kWh]. Most of it consumed ourselves. That’s how it should work.


Now that we have moved in, we can also admire the surroundings at all times of day and night. This photo was taken on the second morning at the breakfast table. The sun was rising, it was foggy, and it looks beautifully dreamy when the fog slowly lifts over the landscape but still hangs over the forests.
More pictures of the house will follow throughout the week once we are a bit better furnished. When unpacking, it's always utter chaos for me until all things have found their place again.

I can see the whole village from the shower.

And the whole village can see you showering :) Good luck in your new house and thank you that we were allowed to accompany you.

How much did you pay for the memory?

How much did you pay for the battery?

If I subtract it from the total offer, about 6800, for 12kwh

And the whole village watching you shower :) Good luck in the new house and thanks for letting us accompany you.

Thanks for accompanying me. <3 The village would need binoculars for that, we are higher up. So the direct neighbors cannot see into the shower angle-wise (and I can't see them), and those on the hill on the other side of the valley would need good binoculars :D

All the neighbors can watch us shower. I didn’t have that on my radar the first few months. Only in the evening over a beer did they once point it out to me with a smirk. So what. Living in a dead-end street and everyone diligently saunas. My wife says….looked away.

I also think, if someone really wants to go through the trouble of watching me shower - have fun. It's their problem, not mine. :D
