As many of you may have experienced, I usually reply on forum topics a number of times each day.
But the last 2 - 3 weeks, this has been not as frequent as I would like.
The reason for this, is that I'm finally moving back to my rebuilt house.
So I do expect to be settled and "frequently online" again by the end of this month.
For those who want to see the process of demolition and rebuilding the entire street: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwusMq ... 6UQ/videos
N.B. the photo on top of the YouTube channel is from the temporary houses where we've lived for the past 28 months with our entire street.
The demolition was needed because of the damages caused by the earthquakes which are a result of gas extraction here in Groningen.
As soon as we're back, the next street will be housed in these temporary houses.
Rough estimate is that upto 20'000 houses need to be reinforced or rebuilt. But these estimates vary a lot, depending on who you're asking.
But now that the energy prices have gone through the roof, there is already a lot of debate on whether the gas extraction should be increased to no longer be depending on Russia for gas.
If the gas extraction will be increased, I expect other countries like Germany, Belgium, etc. also want to get gas from Groningen and then the volumes needed may exceed what is considered "safe" and then a lot more houses may need to be reinforced or rebuilt.
