🏠 Building my own house - makes me earn (not pay) €3000 a week - keeps me offline :90percent: of the time - builds something long lasting for my family :nostr: Building my own Nostr app - makes me earn :zap: 21 a week - keeps me online :110percent: of the time - builds something (lol, literally most accurate description) So, forgive me for not being all in on the latter for a few weeks :winkwithtongue:

It's :90percent: done, and that's what it costs these days to pay others to do what I did. High cost is because of taxes, specialization, etc... mostly. Although salaries of artisans are not be underestimated neither.

1) Youtube, building smaller other things, working with other jack-of-all-trades and trad-timber folks. 2) 70 square meter, 6m-ish high. Having so much fun with it, we are filling a permit for a larger ruin renovation on our farm for next spring. Going full trad for that one.

Nostr is a network of relays at its core. My project uses relays and the web of trust - not a social media use case.

we tested zaps on this note… your profile only specifies a nip05 nostr address, but not a lightning address, so we tried to zap your nip05 address.... we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at meshwell@nostr.land, over a period of 21 minutes. in each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address --
Rizful: Lightning Services
Free Lightning vaults, and instant, disposable Lightning Nodes.
 ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.

I'm honestly surprised at the precision we managed to get on this scale. Coming from a tiny-house build where I had 5cm errors all over. Now the biggest offset I can find anywhere is below 2cm. Even our (first ever) mortar and tennons are tight AF: image Very happy so far.

Do it pls quick, we are closing the gates, too many applicants. We had to switch up the usual process and instead of talking first, we want PoW from candidates so they can show what's in them. Only apply if you can throw a few ideas on paper this week. Doesn't have to be perfect, it's for us to see how you think and design. Will send you instructions via email.
