House construction costs, how were they for you?

The question is whether you realize that you are making a mistake. The expert came in through the front door and saw it immediately even though he was actually not supposed to inspect the shell construction. Back then I still thought like Silke. I had noticed that the masons worked slightly outside the tolerance, but that someone could make such mistakes...

Topic trailer hitch: It cost me €600 from the factory. Cars without a trailer hitch are possible but impractical. And I’m not just saying that because I, as a sailor, tow my little boat twice a year from winter storage to the berth (used to be more regattas ;) ). You can also use it for many other things, and you can always rent trailers cheaply, especially without mileage limits. In addition, you can put bike racks on it. Next time, though, I would tend to choose a fixed hitch; kneeling behind the car is annoying, and 50 kilos of tongue weight is very tight for the heavy trailers.

I find the mistake obvious. You can see the gaps, after all. And if you had done it yourself, you would have done some research beforehand and the mistake would have been clear to you. By the way, I recently built a raised bed for the first time. Now, that’s not comparable to a house and it was only a few rows. But I managed it. Of course I made mistakes, because I hadn’t really read much about such a little wall. I think I would now dare to build a small garden wall. And maybe more after that? No idea. But you really grow into it.

Just out of interest: How did the story with your walls end?
