That doesn't mean that I come home at 18 degrees. The heaters are on here, even at 22 degrees, but for the coziness we turn on the fireplace, and logically turn off the heater. And we don't have to do that, we want to do it. Of course, everyone can do as they please. My opinion doesn't have to be yours. And if you don't want work and dirt, you should maybe consider a rental apartment without a garden.

I love my garden, but going to the forest to get wood, now in this weather or colder – never again. Just the thought gives me cold feet and I feel the cold coming up. Working on the slope, carrying the wood away, loading it,
then splitting, sawing, stacking. Mice and co in the wood pile.

Yes, some people like making wood and keep two logging horses.

Wood heats more than once after all
My wife is also fed up with wood. Therefore, only underfloor heating from now on.

Questioning things objectively seems to bother many people in our society, and being direct even more so.

That doesn’t sound objective at all. But that doesn’t matter. Of course, you can question the purpose of a fireplace in a new house, and presumably everyone will justify and calculate their own heating - myself included. No one needs a fireplace; you can save a lot of money without one. Many people like having a fireplace and gladly spend money on it. Some save very well, others spend very sensibly. Objectivity always has at least one purposeful reference – this can be monetary, functional, social, or qualitative – or a mix of these. It is objectively correct to build in a way that allows living in it with the highest possible quality of life afterward. It is objectively right to bring yourself joy. By the way, I find it extremely amusing when objectivity is equated with cost efficiency. In the end, from an objective point of view, a good way is simply to spend a little less than you earn and set aside a reasonable reserve that lets you sleep peacefully. Within that framework, many have a lot of leeway.

Is it now objective if I quote from those times that a house without a chimney is not a chimney, or am I venturing too deep into the cave of the "without underfloor heating you don’t need to build a house" friends

Sorry, that had to be said again before new photos are posted here

[…] a house without a fireplace no fireplace is […]

It is either way too high or way too low for me.

It is either way too high or way too flat for me.

I guess something else was meant, but the sentence is correct as it stands (unlike what she actually wanted to write).
