Every man, as the well-known proverb says, must build a house, raise a son and plant a tree. If you can somehow cope with the last two points yourself, then with the first it’s not so simple.
Building a house always requires certain knowledge and skills. Getting down to business without having the slightest idea of what is being done and how is absolutely not worth it, especially since you are not planning to build a sand castle. In general, people who decide to build a house themselves can often be compared to piglets from a well-known fairy tale - someone is very limited on a budget and builds from the materials that are easiest to obtain; and someone else is building an entire impregnable fortress.
Home is your cozy nest, your haven, in which everything should be harmonious. You need to treat the construction site with all responsibility, because then you have to hide behind these walls and take shelter from bad weather under this roof. And above all, you want everything to be beautiful... The series “Everything According to the Mind at a Construction Site” will tell you how to correctly implement all your ideas and with the help of what technology.
