Building your own dwelling is something everyone in the world except kings in castles experienced in their lives at least once. It is a core part of being human, like making and wielding tools, decorating our bodies and improvising language, a creative activity that is part of our form and being. And nobody does it anymore. We pay some guys to slap together some generic structure according to laws. We are all missing something fundamental. I intend to experience it and understand the feelings, of having to get up and do the work, of wishing it was done, of finally having it, of knowing every detail and having things the way I want them, of decorating and improving the little things as I live inside.
