When is it sensible to connect utility lines to the house?

We would like to do that too, but I find it a bit too voyeuristic and intrusive. ;-) I actually intended to stay unobtrusively within sight and watch from there, incognito so to speak.

Why shouldn't the client watch directly? You are the principal and paying for the whole thing.

I can only comment on the interior once more of it has been completed. I am not showing a photo here now so that your thread is not accidentally hijacked.

Then I will reply to you in the most recent of your threads:

At least with the exterior shape of our house, I am satisfied, apart from the already recognized wrong decisions (roof pitch too low) and too few, too wide windows instead of more and narrower, taller windows (that couldn’t be done with my husband ;-) ).

I do not see a wrong decision regarding a too flat roof pitch in .

I do not see any wrong decision of a too shallow roof pitch in

I had wished that when I stand in front of the house or approach it, I could see more of the roof. Ultimately, it is a matter of taste, but I live well with it. :-)

I had wished that when I stand in front of the house or walk towards it, I could see more of the roof.

Then build the house again as a scale model – as a mailbox or a birdhouse: with this different relationship between the eaves height and your eye level, the wish can be fulfilled. This phenomenon, that the roof pitch in reality appears flatter than in the plans, has a simple explanation in the size ratios "human ./. house ≠ human ./. house photo". This balances out again – for example, with the help of such a miniature copy.

That will sort itself out again - for example with the help of such a miniature copy.

just has to surround themselves with bad karma, and then it will work even at ant or similar size ;)
