Car: "I think before I leave this Earth, I will do something like this..."
EXACTLY the same thought I had in mind when I started this project: to leave something behind, that will be remembered many more years after I am gone. Something that people will say "oh look what that crazy dude did here, impressive work!"
If we do not leave behind something important on this Earth, why do we live on it? For Bitcoin I will leave behind my guides (that many will be obsolete in few years) that will be remembered. For me, my friends and family will leave this homestead behind, built by my own hands, with 0 knowledge about construction (just trial and error learn). I learned a lot of things from all this and I will write all of them in a new post on that substack. I still have to learn many more things, this is just the beginning of the project. The 2nd house will be even more impressive.

Star Wars makes sense now.
Darth Vader was just trying to leave behind a legacy, he was not a bad guy.

Well said, I like the challenge of it all. Looks tuff as heck to build.

All my life I've done many jobs. But now, after I see and feel how is building a house (by myself), I could say that is the most challenging and satisfactory job ever. Seems easy at first sight, but is damn hard. ofc when you are doing it in "darth style", without any machinery help.
Many people asked me why I do not pay somebody to help me or even build it for me, professional ones. Or I can even pay to bring me a whole house with the helicopter and land it there...
But my answer will always be the same: that will not be built by my own hands and sweat. The experience of building your own house change your perspective about the world.
It will be just another toy bought with my sats. My sats are extremely valuable and will be spent only when I cannot do it myself. Yes, somehow, I pushed this project to a unimaginable limit, where very few people will even dare to start such project. I saw many YT videos with guys building a house, but most of them are fake, with prefabricated parts and using advanced tools and machinery. My idea was to feel the pain of construction as our ancestors did hundreds of years ago, building their houses and roads, with bare hands, rudimentary tools and stones. It blows my mind seeing around in those mountains the remains of those roads, terracing walls and old stone houses, built hundreds of years ago and are still in place. But nobody in today modern world come to even repair those walk paths and walls. I will make some pictures of those old constructions near by and post them on SN later.

When I saw the pictures of the logs with the wheels, that’s when I knew Darth is doing it different. Is there anything else you don’t quite have the answers for yet to solve?
