Overwhelmed by military conscription - Alternatives?

I cannot recommend installing mirrors :/ those things are heavy and don’t forgive mistakes. One of them broke while fiddling with the cable (slipped onto a corner). It wasn’t such a big deal since the pieces only cost 150€ and you could cover it up very well, but still annoying.

So yes - it also looks cleaner if the tiler is good

But not in your example picture

Our base cabinet hangs on regular screws/plugs - two pieces and the thing feels like it weighs 10 tons. In reality probably more like 50-70 kg, but it is heavy

Our tiler didn't prepare anything for us - probably just the holes for sockets and plugs - according to him he has never made so many holes in one building

Not in your example picture then

How do you come to that?

Yes, crooked and uneven - not only the mounting holes, but also the drain. That doesn't matter at all and you won't see it later anyway, but you emphasized that it should look good.

When using drywall stuff on the pre-wall, the mounting has to be attached beforehand and the tiler has to be involved - in solid construction at that point, drilling/plugging is sufficient. Which is not only faster but even looks nicer/cleaner.

Good evening Sebastian,

there is nothing crooked or bent about the facade; your impression might come from the recording angle. But I am also too tired today to discuss with you the charming peculiarities of a renovation or how a cold/hot water pipe has to adapt to the conditions of an old building. I have been bent and crooked all day today; at least it feels that way.

Rhineland greetings

I didn't say either that the cover is crooked and bent - it's the holes
