Couldn't update for a long time because things are really hectic here at the moment with everything. House closing, moving soon, Corona, home office, difficult time. Everything will be very tight until the end of January, but progress is being made:

I have been wondering for some time why the downpipes do not disappear into the walls. That must be possible too. Does the insulation become too thin at that point? Is it not feasible due to structural reasons?

Looks great

Have you ever revealed the house color?

In my opinion, it is not worth it for the appearance... Water can be so dangerous... I would never let them disappear into the facade.

There are many pipes in the walls of the house. Otherwise, all water pipes in the house would have to be surface-mounted. During our renovation, I also found that some downpipes, especially for the WC, are installed in the facade. In the bathroom upstairs, for example, the drain pipe runs across the front facade to the other side of the room because it goes down there into the small bathroom, where the toilet is connected (picture). After the renovation – we moved the toilet and turned it 180 degrees to the opposite side – it goes straight down there. Certainly, the original pipe is unfortunately still in the facade, but at least it is now dry.

We suspended the ceiling on the ground floor so that a floor-to-ceiling shower could be installed above on the upper floor. This also allowed me to install LED RGB spots that require a slightly greater installation depth.

A downpipe should of course be maintenance-free if it is to disappear into the wall. Maybe that is also one reason?

Inside is a completely different story than outside, topic condensation, noises and tearing open a facade is certainly also much more complicated to repair than quickly cleaning an interior wall, usually also much larger areas. Honestly, a downpipe is easy to look over
