I have officially started building my house that ill be living in once its done. Ever since I moved out from home Ive been living in a smaller house aprox. 50m2 that is on the same plot ill be building the new house on. That living space size is manageable but not ideal especially with kids.
The interesting thing about this house is that the cost of construction will be entirely funded from my crypto profits last 4 years.
Since I only ever invested a 1000 USD into crypto, all the funds basically originate from Steem and thus Hive, later reinvested into Splinterlands, CUBfinance, ETH, LEO and stuff like Solana, BNB, IOTA, various shortlived DEFIs.
Everything originated from Hive, which is why I call it a "Hive house."
Im considering adding a stone plaque on the entrance with the Hive logo and a few words. If ever happens to Hive what happened to Steem, I can always bash it with a sledgehammer lol.
A lot of the work, Ill be doing myself. Basically everything but the basement that will be poured concrete and the roof. The electrical work and waterworks. You never want to be doing electrical work yourself. That can end very badly.
Ive had experience working in construction when we were building the family apartments and thats going to save me a fair amount of money.
Material prices went up almost 50% in the last 2 years, especially construction metals so any money I can save is good.
Anyways, thats why I havent been active last few months. Dealing with paperwork, looking for workers, arranging construction phases, etc.
Sweet! I too hope to eventually be uplifted from poverty with Hive, or at the very least be able to own a house of some kind.
But at the moment hive is providing a nice bit of wealth that I can tap into if needed.

Congrats on your achievements and wish you to fulfill this project flawlessly. Whoever reads this story, should be an inspiration to how crypto can change someone's life and the great things he can achieve from it.
nice!
Well done bro. If I didn't have to leave Nigeria, I would have actually been constructing a small house as well.
Anyway, that is a very sexy design and I'd definitely be paying you visits when we move to somewhere close to you.
Have you guys decided where you are going?
(When visiting bring beer😉)
We're weighing our options at the moment but when my wife's passport is sorted out, we'll apply for a couple of schoolsin a couple countries including UK, Portugal and Spain.
Sweet stuff...goodluck building this.
I’ll be needing a space to one my chopper. #justsaying...

Time and commitment wins the day. :)
Absolutely, I can't agree more.

That's great. Especially when knowing that you're building it in profits made from a $1,000 investment. I wish I'll be able to have my own as well in the future. I'm planning for a wooden one.

1000 USD and a lot of time. Lots of time. :)
But it can be done. Good luck on your journey to a wooden one.
This will be a very beautiful house. I guess congratulations are in order! Where will it be located?
PS: I am all with you with electrical work and waterworks, although I must admit I have started to dig into that (but only for the minor parts), and I also know to who I can ask for help in case something bad happens ;)
Thank you. 10 mins away from Split, Croatia. I own some land there in a building zone.
Once something bad happens, it might be too late to ask for help. yikes. hehe
I remember Croatia as a very beautiful country. I spent 20 days there 8-9 years ago. I imagine things have changed in the meantime, and I hope nature is still as amazing as it was.
Which is why I only deal with what I know I can deal with. I am not that crazy ;)
Cheers!
You lucky son of a Hive, you're living my dream :). But good on you and I wish you as smooth building experience as possible
