What cost you the most nerves during the house construction?

Still in the earthworks phase, but so far an archaeologist who massively delayed the work and threatened to shut everything down. Despite a 99.99% probability of no findings, every shovel was meticulously searched. Unplanned additional costs so far 4500€. Excavation company took twice as long as planned – plus extreme price increases due to expensive diesel.

This is one of the worst parties on the construction site. With acquaintances, they actually found some kind of plate at the beginning, and then they came with teaspoons and brushes... And these people have time. One break after another. You don't even have real leverage. Legal proceedings in the end take just as long and only cost even more. Unbelievable! Apart from the time delay (6 months), it is outrageous that the costs are pushed onto the private builder. If they are so keen and like old coins so much, they should please pay for it out of their own pocket. And the best part is that the scrap metal in the end doesn't even belong to you. :D

My condolences. Archaeological finds are the worst thing a building site can do to you

Yes, that was a good tip, because it then also recognizes that the throughput does not match the tariff and measures only to the router. The result was: 891 Mbit/s.

just as bad as nesting birds on the property, which delay clearing or earthworks for months...

Shard > mating, rare frog > dud

just as bad as breeding birds on the property, causing the clearing or earthworks to be delayed for months...

It certainly depends on the individual case, but with the bird you wait until the brood is there, possibly relocating it (see example of the frog). With the archaeologist, you wait months until they even arrive, then more months until they leave again. This period is additionally unpredictable. On top of that, the archaeologist also costs money, the bird little to none. Compared to that, the dud is easy, it is cleared within a few weeks and costs you nothing.
