Just fix the errors, ignore the warnings. You'll be fine for a while.

The error was that my house is apparently being build in a swamp... The whole block sank a few millimeters into the ground cracking some walls etc.
They fixed it, but then it happened again 
Don't know much about that though. I'll be hearing more next week.

Why would you build in a swamp 
Sometimes you have to sink pilings down until you hit something solid, or build the whole thing on a big raft, to provide a stable base to build on. I'd prefer just building in the right place to start with

Well, it isn't literally a swamp. Except for the fact that the new row of houses sunk in the ground. Maybe it's quicksand. And of course we're talking about millimeters...

I recently moved and, although I was just in a rented flat with really hardly any stuff, it's still amazing how much accumulates in three years. Moving was difficult enough and I ended up throwing away a lot of things that I never quite got around to doing that with before. I'm sure next time (I bought my current place so I'm getting furniture and plan to be there a while) it will be much worse. So I can imagine how much stuff you have over 25 years.
Actually I can do more than imagine as I know how much stuff there was to sort out from my grandparents' houses when they died (after about 25 years there in both cases).

I dream of a house with a huge basement (that's not common in the Netherlands, we already live below sea level as it is!) or attic where I can store stuff indefinitly 
And of course I'd never need to move.

Most houses here have a pretty big space in the roof to stash stuff and forget about it for 30 years. That's dangerous if you ever do move though, it's a pain to clear out.

Meshuggah is yiddish for crazy or insane, and a fitting description of Thomas Haake, the drummer in the band with that name.
While Progressive Metal isn't my style I can't help being anything but impressed[^].
An upvote to the first one getting the reference 23/16 without cheating. (not that hard)

23/16 is the time signature in which he plays. Probably he does that a few times while the first guitar player plays 423876/123485 and the second plays 239846/12459 and then the singer just sings 4/4 and after 2.463 rounds they meet up and are synchronous again. That's what I think they do anyway
Great band.

Yeshhhhhh!
Believe it or not, but that upvote really is the highlight of my day so far and it's 10 pm / 22:00 over here

Well I meant that upvote not just for the promise I made, but you made me laugh because there really is more than one time signature in the tune. well, I don't know about the guitars but figuratively you're spot on.

In that case I demand another upvote!

I remember reading an interview with those guys back when that album (ObZen) was released.
They really do play different time signatures and they play them at the same time.
The drummer plays it four or five times, throws in an off-time signature, and they all finish at the same time.
He also plays sixth and fourth notes in the same count. With his feet. That guy is unreal!

Farpotshket from Yiddish:

Oh, I know that Demon well: it surfaces too often in code I have written, and re-written !
