But at Karsten, it is about the company ,

even if you only buy material, it's already tight... I have paid more just for the material for the floor coverings than that, and we don't have mega high-end expensive tiles or designer flooring...

But with Karsten, it's the same as with me. In the construction service description, things like hallways, utility rooms, bathrooms, kitchens are already covered with tiles, maybe possibly an extra charge for more expensive tiles. If you deduct all that, then with 110 sqm not much is left. Maybe half, so if you then take a reasonably decent floor from the mid-range? You definitely get far with that.

Ah, it just annoys me.. You turn it on briefly and the temperature is different. Someone flushes, water briefly hot. Woman draws warm water, it becomes cold. Even when I turn it back on after soaping up, you have to adjust. In the currently inhabited house, I waited for the Aldi offer and got a faucet with a thermostat.

The single-lever mixer can't do anything about the fluctuations caused by other users of the water pipes, which is why I appreciate the single-piece counter-control instead of turning two taps to get the mixture right again. A thermostat is of course even more comfortable. And pulling the lever back up linearly after soaping up is easier for me than remembering the crank turns of two taps.

We are also building in a price range that many consider impossible. However, the amounts are now all fixed - not much can happen to us anymore (the screed is currently being installed). And our construction supervisor from the [Verband Privater Bauherren] is very satisfied with the work done so far - we have obviously and hopefully not cut corners in the wrong place. Of course, without a lot of frills, but with the things that were personally important to us and worth the price.

even if you only buy material, it's already tight... I have already paid more just for the flooring materials than that, and we don't have mega high-end expensive tiles or designer flooring...

I have to disagree, from my own experience.
