Of course with the boss, according to him 1.50 m at the ridge would have been more than sufficient. The equipment is almost set up right under the ridge beam so that you can walk exactly underneath it, not at the edges.
To be honest, this goes a bit too far for me. I don’t design my house with the priority of creating a comfort zone for the craftsman, but rather I provide enough space with my limited financial means to accommodate everything needed, but no more than necessary. By the way, with a height of 1.70 m, you can stand and walk upright there.
Would I like to work there? If I were the craftsman, I would probably prefer to duck my head a little for a while rather than having my arm stuck up to the shoulder in a clogged pipe. There are definitely much more unpleasant places and jobs I could encounter there.
When asked about the location for the heating system, two companies proposed the basement and two companies proposed the attic (despite the basement being available).
Maybe the boss will just send his small employee.
