Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Oh. My apologies; I can't really see much of the house other than it's very close, but this explains it.
Again, going back to my time in Espoo, I have seen places where people got their building permits before the beaches-are-for-everyone-rule, often the cycling/walking path has to go around them.
It's not so much that beaches are for everyone here. All the land is occupied by private owners all around this lake, and it's been that way for many decades. There are only 4 public access points around the entire lake. It's quite sad actually.
The reason they won't let new constructions take place close to the water's edge has something to do with nature conservation, pollution and whatnot. I'm not sure I understand. All I know is, when this cottage is gone, it ain't never coming back. So it's worth keeping in good condition.
