Arifas, things are really moving fast with you! You somehow just started recently...

Eldea: I like the washbasin! What brand is it and how wide is it?

@All those who are so "nice" to tear apart our kitchen here or mutter a ruminating "poorly planned"... why don't you simply ask beforehand?

Something like: Why...etc? Instead of: poorly planned!

The answer to the "why" would have been, for example, the following:

We originally planned the kitchen in a completely different spot, including the windows etc., but thanks to this great forum, we changed our minds at short notice (!), the advantages of the new placement completely outweighed the disadvantage "window cannot be fully opened," and I am still grateful to the forum members for convincing us to swap the spot.

In addition, the plan was still made (!) to extend the countertop under the window, unfortunately "forgotten" to prepare by the site manager, too bad, unlucky. By the way, the window can still be opened and cleaned quite well, the construction company made up for the "forgotten" part very generously in another matter, the kitchen fitter solved it visually perfectly for us, we like the kitchen very much, we are happy.

Taste (appearance) is hard to argue about, we like the color, so that's why we ordered it. Not because the neighbor has it or anything like that, after all, we are not 4 years old wanting his sandbox shovel.

And about the non-integrated fridge: please feel free to do it with a side-by-side if you have the space and the money for it. I love my fridge, wanted it absolutely, drink my Havana with ice from my dispenser, and am satisfied...

All good, can take criticism, but not asking beforehand is taking the easy way out for me.

Yesterday, the house connections were supposed to be done...
didn't happen after all
The appearance of the house is in the avatar

The main reason was the topic of soundproofing. A 12.5 cm drywall (filled and double-glazed) is better than a 17.5 cm Poroton and not to mention the space. We didn't want sand-lime bricks, although these would probably have been the best choice regarding soundproofing.

That only applies if you had used the same Poroton bricks inside as for outside. A heavy 17.5 cm Poroton brick, e.g. T8, has better sound insulation values, plus you don't have the critical transition from drywall to masonry regarding cracks in the wall covering.

We are now making good progress.
In the last 2 weeks, the electrician was in the house and I laid additional cables.
Yesterday and today, the photovoltaic modules were installed on the roof, and today the plastering crew came and primed the walls as well as set the corner beads.
Tomorrow, the interior plastering will begin.

That's how I like electrical wiring! But I'm afraid it won't be so nicely organized with us.....We're getting our photovoltaic system tomorrow! I'm already excited!
