Location of city villa or single-family house on 500 m2 plot - rectangular

Very nice man, very pleasant contact, even though I had imagined him differently from the forum. Many thanks again @pagoni2020, gladly again!

What??? EVEN better looking???
Oh dear, I last read so much positive about myself in my self-written memoirs. For the sake of completeness, however, it should be said that this first impression is deceiving.....

That is surely meant positively (for @pagoni2020), right?

That would be my dream! I’m definitely showing it to my wife already..... although she already knows all these great things about me.

Honestly, I like to write here depending on my mood (and usually a lot :D) but ultimately, for me, direct or personal contacts are always especially pleasant. I have already had some of those here and they were always extremely helpful! To me, it always shows that communication is possible only to a limited extent through pure texts.

Your project is already impressive! rentschler-lüftung de

I would say the same if I didn’t have to live in the house and just wanted to get done quickly.

Just to emphasize this again: My HSL master really still has the claim to deliver proper work, and if a necessary preliminary work was botched, he would say so.
He said the main thing is north. Whether northeast or northwest, it’s really not such a big difference, he can manage that. Today’s heat pumps are “adjustable” enough.

Are you sure that’s really a problem? The adjacent boards should actually, uh, lie flat, namely firmly on the ground, shouldn’t they?

Well, as I said, with very narrow pieces I had that problem in reality during installation already. I could also well imagine that with pure EPS on top it could still happen after the screed over the years, vibrations, etc. would already shake out the perlite. That can’t happen with hard wax or bitumen-coated perlite because as soon as pressure is applied it sticks together to hold its shape, i.e. it is bonded. But before I had boards on it, it was also still the case for that type that the perlite liked to slip under the pieces while installing. At first I taped the joints and later used mounting adhesive because that was faster. With large boards that didn’t happen so easily.

That’s certainly meant positively (for @pagoni2020), isn’t it?

I can gladly expand on that.
So my idea of from the forum was that of an older, settled (and maybe also somewhat stocky) man of medium height, with snow-white hair and an equally white full beard.
Nice and with the flair of a good-natured uncle who tells stories.
I met a tall, slim, vital man in his prime, with youthful charisma and energy, combined with the aura of a worldly professor who lectures at international conferences and a hint of a French bohemian. Add a bit of Swabian wit and the savoir-faire of a Cuban casino owner and you get a perhaps somewhat exaggerated picture of .

So, now go ahead and blush!

Back to my construction project:

As I said, I was pretty done and that the exterior plaster was already finished down to the base only comforted me a bit...

View from the street


View from the side neighbor to the large stairwell window and the main entrance as well as the guest bathroom; you can see the core drilling for the controlled indoor ventilation


View from the rear neighbor to the garden side (through the window you can see some of insulation)


Once again the backside of the house from the rear neighbor’s perspective. Kitchen window and side entrance door (main building door)


Again the garden side (also in the house pictures thread)...

So, I would have liked to show you pictures of the sub-insulation. But I was actually so stressed out that the idea didn’t even come up. Also, I simply didn’t document the intermediate stages. Crazy.

Here now follow pictures of what rests on the sub-insulation. I think I must have done something right...


Guest bathroom – nice small underfloor heating also in the shower


Living area – larger underfloor heating, but also a much larger total area. Approved by the poodle...


The utility room with the heating circuit distributor has no own underfloor heating. That was not really planned that way, but apparently it should be enough. I will ask the master again if that really stays that way and if a centered routing of the supply lines wouldn’t have been more sensible...


Hallway with recess for the foot of the stairs (according to the stair builder not necessary, but a precaution and porcelain nut and so on).

Impressive project of yours! rentschler-lüftung de

Thank you very much. It was a bit stressful the last few days and also whenever my GÜ annoyed me, but I definitely learned a lot for the next house and am happy if my contribution here helps other builders or those who want to become one.

So, here are a few more pictures of the underfloor heating:


Main bathroom with recess for the tub, otherwise a nice small VA


Again main bathroom, nicely into the shower...


The HKV on the upper floor is in the big kid’s room. He will be nice and cozy. Probably that’s why the VA is also a bit bigger with the real heating circuits...

Here’s the rest of the kid’s room


Small kid’s room, which will initially be my wife’s hobby room.


Hallway, that doesn’t need so much...


Another kid’s room, initially chosen by my wife as a dressing room...


Bedroom, or in other words, my wife’s room...
The installer said he hadn’t laid piping this tight for a long time, but he knows why – heat pump etc....

To be continued...

with the Heizi it looks good, only when the big one sleeps with the window open does it knock the heating efficiency down by 0.003 points

with the heating guy it looks good,
only if the big one sleeps with the window open, it knocks the heating efficiency down by 0.003 points

That's why I have lockable olives. He doesn't get the key... :p
