House Pictures Chat Corner - Show off your house pictures!

Are you a structural engineer again? That you are so sure?

Harvest helper.

But someone who knows about it would surely have been able to verify a 30x30 support without any problems and have the beams run through as a two-span beam, I suppose.

and run the beams as a two-span beam,

Statisticians do like two-span beams

What does a harvest helper actually do professionally after the harvest festival? - do they live off bad weather allowance then?

I understand the intention of an image thread to be that the subject should be a collection of images. But not in the sense of just posting pictures and keeping quiet, rather that the depicted subjects may also be discussed. So that essentially houses or construction sites should be the topic, as opposed to floor plans or calculations. But if I just want to like pictures, I can do that on Fb&Co.

I see it exactly the same way. A forum lives precisely from such discussions.

However, some have to be a little careful not to misuse the anonymity of the internet.

Criticism is good and welcome and fortunately mostly very constructive here. On the other hand, one has to be a bit careful not to be too harsh on the builders. For many, this is one of the most important projects of their life, so sharp criticism can sometimes "hurt."

In the end, of course, everyone who puts something on display and/or expects feedback has to deal with that.

Better the criticism in the forum hurts than my head (because I put the shower under the stairs or something). For many, it is above all a project for which they have not yet had a dress rehearsal – most house builders already know the residential form of a single-family home as tenants or because they have built before, and the parental home was built a generation earlier. After all, we are talking about an investment on the order of a decade’s salary. There are sycophants who, flattering, let you sink the money with your eyes wide open, friends of whom you have little joy.

I absolutely agree with that as well. Therefore, clear statements during planning, such as regarding financing questions and floor plans, are very important.

However, the decisions have already been made here and can rarely be corrected. You can package it a bit more nicely then.

Lay the ceiling flush into the I from the right and left, then it would even be an invisible beam.

It's then called a "flush beam" or also a blind beam, as I have just learned, although our architect pointed out at the same time that the term is itself a paradox. But it exists and is built that way, among other places in our home.
