Is that tiny round "thing" to the right of the front door handle the keyhole?

Yes exactly. You have to unlock the door somehow :)

In the past few weeks, things have also progressed quickly for us. Currently, the painters are in and applying the paint to the walls. I am so relieved that we are not doing it ourselves after all when I see how often small spots are being patched and painted again. The colorful paint is already on the walls in the living area and in the son’s room. The bathroom has also been fully tiled, and I’m already looking forward to standing under the new shower for the first time :D In the meantime, I have worked on the network cabinet and the roller shutter control. After two weekends, everything was installed and fully programmed. Starting next week, we will be able to lay our floors. I’m really curious how the house will look then. At the moment, it still looks very much like a construction site. Then the last electrical work will also be done, and since today, excavators have been rolling outside to fill in the area around the house so we don’t fall 1.3m deep when we go out the patio doors :)

Yes, exactly. You have to somehow unlock the door :)

Well ... we've had our (new) front door for a few weeks now. I haven't used a traditional key during that time :) I'm asking because I thought there would be more around it nowadays ... scratch protection, for example. Is there any other way to open the door?

In the meantime (one year after moving in), we have also paved and have a canopy.

At the neighbor's, nothing looks different yet.

There is still nothing at the neighbor's place, from what it looks like.

You are completely right. In the meantime, he has brought in some gravel to fill the height difference from the neighbor (2.90m basement depth) to us (foundation depth 2.60m), since, according to the court order, he is no longer allowed to underpin. Then a surveyor came on Saturday who measured the depth precisely.

He now plans, according to the new building application (the third one by now), to set his basement at our 2.60m. However, he will apparently have a height problem because he cannot meet the maximum total height of 11m – if you would go by the long faces at the construction pit. :rolleyes:

On Monday, the last or should I say penultimate house in the area will be erected – now only Bob the Builder with his competent team is missing.

In the meantime, more and more neighbors are annoyed with him because we still have a decent pile of earth lying in the garden, which will later have to go into the terrace hole unlawfully dug out by the neighbor – and that is now interfering with the neighbors' garden landscaping.

But everyone knows who is to blame. ;)
