My contribution on the topic of heating was rather symbolic, also for all other topics of this house construction, namely to actually align oneself with one's very own preferences and sometimes decide against the perceived current, as long as one simply prefers something. For example, a gallery entails considerable (heating, cleaning, etc.), but I do not want to miss it. The same goes for huge, tall window surfaces that need cleaning, the high-hanging chandelier – all completely impractical and labor-intensive but beautiful. One can continue arbitrarily with elaborate garden layouts or flower beds or expensive, work-intensive pets, etc., the respective benefit/yield lies elsewhere and can be worth it to me despite high costs, annoyance, and work. Maybe the fire thing is more of a men’s thing, although my wife lights the fire in the evening, even though it would be easier for her to operate a switch; she enjoys it. The financial "club" can always be raised and justified, but if it is enriching for my individual feeling, the resulting necessities become secondary, because I want to have it nice at home and beauty/comfort often costs money and/or work. I would have my fireplace even if the wood were twice as expensive because it gives me joy; a fence or expensive technical installations around the house, by contrast, I have never needed (my neighbor in total about €20,000), and I do not drive unnecessarily or prefer using light switches rather than automation. It is different for everyone, and I like it when one boldly implements one's things for oneself. So I can always understand if someone does something differently or maybe even "strangely" because it pleases them personally exactly like that; I even find that admirable. What I find "bad," on the other hand, is when one always just does the same as others because one feels safer doing so and prefers to do more of it, which sometimes comes to my mind during walks through residential areas or in discussions here; little real individuality, although we are all so different. So for me, it is by no means about compulsive being different here, but only about illustrating how I see it or how one could do it. There are arguments against or extreme negative examples for/against any construction method, any technology, or design. Very few things are really necessary when building a house, even the house building itself is extreme luxury. In this respect, financial reasons apply to me only there, but then consistently, where I do not need something or do not like it (fences, too much automation, stylish trend products in the outdoor area, tiles, floors, etc.) in order to then be able to spend generously on things that make more sense to me. Some things in our house are quite simple, second choice, or used (facade, floorboards, furniture), whereas other things could be more expensive; I find this targeted weighting more sensible than having "mediocrity" everywhere. Bam.
