Looking out the window of a house that cost you
nothing to build has got to be an amazing feeling.

When I heard this man wanted a helping hand with his next project I jumped at the chance.
We are on a mission to buy some land and build an Eco-community, the only thing is we have no idea what we are doing.
The great thing is, in the area of Portugal that we are looking for land, there are lots of people who have already been living the simple life for years, and they have a good idea of how to get shit done!.
Todays lesson, how to build a house.
the right choice for an Eco-build.
By removing all the bark, insect and termites have nothing
to burrow under and the wood lasts much longer.

Drill 3 holes, 1 in the ground & 2 in the wood, then you hammer
in 2 steel rods and cut at an angle.

Slot the poles into positions and secure with tripods
Once the cross-members are in, then it's time to put in some
support beams and then repeat the process.

The first part of this build is complete, the frame is up,

I have lived in many a house, but I have never felt at home, until now.
Lovely!!! Once u get used to smaller spaces you start to enjoy the many benifits, and there are many... cleaning the house is a breeze, and heating and cooling is so much easier and cheaper. Everyone is forced to be coZy and close which is very intimate and nurturing.
Loom forward to seeing how it turns out!!’
Yes @eco-alex
I love the cozy aspect, and the cleaning too :)
Going back to continue this build tomorrow so stay tuned :)
nice! cant wait to see more.. where in Portugal are you exactly?
Hey @markwhittam, great job you're doing over there, might join up with you some day... been thinking about Portugal for a long time...
Congrats on the delegation from @fulltimegeek. Can't think of anyone more deserving! Thank you for all your support, much appreciated! :)
Thanks @reko
When we have found our land then your always welcome Bro!
Haha! Yeah I was blown away by this act kindness from a guy who has already done more than enough to help my blog grow.
Shout out to @fulltimegeek
It has had a great effect on me, I am already looking at how I can pay it forward.
I love this place!
Thank you, it's getting crazier here in Sweden by the day but also some good change happening behind the scenes so we'll see... It seems these delegations are a new trend and I know people are working behind the scenes to get it to people that really deserve it which will really strenghten the community and the value of the Steem blockchain! Good times are coming our way! :)
This looks really nice. Because of @eco-alex, I have started taking better interest in eco-homes. Looking forward to the next part :)
Thank you @sharoonyasir, I shall be going to continue this build tomorrow :)
Bless.
In life, a person will come and go from many homes. We may leave a house, a town, a room, but that does not mean those places leave us. Once entered, we never entirely depart the homes we make for ourselves in the world. They follow us, like shadows, until we come upon them again, waiting for us in the mist.

Well at the end of the day all we need in life is water, food and a shelter where you can live with our family!
All the rest is greed!
