build my own house

I designed a house that will be both classic and modern, but enough classic to be considered modern. Not a spook place. But special place will be my study, I’m a writer and find it difficult to work in same place but scattering furniture all over the place each day is pain it the…khm… well you got the point. So I will be half 2 store library half a green house the other half will be like a green house so almost the whole ceiling will be glass, its good cause during day light comes trough and during the night all stars will be visible. Sounds childish yet this kind of things were not build for some time, around 100 years ago or so it was unusual too but it was something you do for status. I live once so the heck with it I deserve the study room to my taste, and should have fun if I can afford it.

I’ve got the property. I bought this February. Within 3 years is my realistic goal to build a house. Next year is my not so realistic goal. I’ve already got lots of plans and ideas for it. :)

We are on our way to a dream home !

I’m good with prefab modern, in fact I prefer it. In the country, in California.

I wannt have my own house which is in my dreams.

I want to build my own house, have it designed and built to my specifications!

Got the first sketches of the plan done…

I wnat to work really really hard so I can buy my estate…then build my house on it. With a huge tree on a hill overlooking the house. :)

For anyone who’s interested, there’s a place in Maine that teaches you how to do this. You go there for a 2 week class, and even if you know nothing, they teach you what you need to know to get started. It’s called the Shelter Institute. Here’s their site:

I hope to go there eventually.

Right now I’m not in the position to even buy my own house, never mind build one. But the way I look at it if I don’t think it can happen then it definitely won’t. So here goes, I’m throwing it out to the Universe now and am just going to see what happens…..
