Prices are high in germany… It’s next to impossible to even find someone willing to work on non-industrial jobs in my region (unless you’re willing to fork over like 300€/hr for someone working the weekend) and material costs are sky-high as well.

Replacing our old gas heaters with new ones (pre covid, around 2020 i think) was over 8k€ per apartment if I remember correctly. (4-family home) That’s without having to factor in new pipes or what inflation has done to prices here during/after covid.

That’s spot on. Freddy, the one on the right, is constantly chasing anything that moves, be it a piece of string, a toy, or even fast moving shadows, while his brother Teddy watches from a safe distance.
It’s honestly quite hard to animate Teddy to play, because more often than not he’d rather just watch his brother being silly.
