After a long and exhausting planning process, I now feel that we were a bit too frugal with the width of the living room at 3.88m raw measurement.
First of all: You are in the best company here with what feels like a hundred aspiring builders, whose first threads start with being not quite sure about a single tiny point of genius in their painfully born design – and who then suffer being told: uhm, you have to be very strong now, go back to the beginning once more.
I had such a living room for a long time, and it was never too narrow for me, not even with a piano. The problem of "your" design is quite different, and the effort of the planning is connected with the torment you are imposing on yourself. There is blood in the shoe, the right bride is still sitting at home. Better build a house for
your family.
What you instead tried to do is: squeeze a Jette onto a Flair plot. That it hurts is not a bug but a feature: it is supposed to warn you to turn back.
In this respect, I do not understand how my predecessors can even give you tips on
individual p
arameters, when even a blind person should be able to see from the moon where the
structural problem lies:
You are trying to copy a Jette – stop it, or find the right plot for it. A Jette in a light version for those with statutory insurance does not work, it can never be anything but a struggle!
