RE: Finding your Place in the Interstices - Reflections about Housing [EN - FR]

in ecoTrain3 years ago


Those are exactly the same wishes we have and questions regarding housing.
You are a woodworker too. Me too… hahaha I studied engineering and could build a house from scratch. Hands on. Very cool.So great to stumble upon your thoughts here about housing @anttn 🤓😎

We would like land and a garden far from all. But still close to public transport or at least a shop and restaurant. But that is hard to find a location like you say. Especially when the “in what country” part isn’t clear at the moment for us. Hehehe

Have you looked into earth ships?
A wooden house would be better than renovating an older one. It also depends on which climate you are in. As new you put in all you want and is needed. And old house can be a money pit.
At this moment we don’t know our choice yet. But we know we move out of Spain.

Great to see what you will choose and the direction your path will take.
Have a lovely last day 👋🏻😁

Sort:  

Yeah, this is really difficult to make wishes and needs matching !!

Have you looked into earth ships?

Yeah, indeed ! It would work for me, but my companion is too picky haha ..!

The more I think, the more I’m convinced that a little wood house one a little land would be really enough if close to the wild !

Thanks you dear, take care and have a very pleasant evening 😘

Yep, it’s difficult. Finding the right spot and combine those 2.

A wooden house does sounds lovely in many ways.

An Earth ship would be my first choice, maybe I build one, one day 🙂 depending on the country I end up and what is allowed.
Nature is high on the list too like you have. We need it more in our lives…

You are so welcome, you have a wonderful evening too 😘

The building restrictions are drastic here in France, it is not the best country for this type of project... But it's going to be complicated to do otherwise for us haha !

Can't wait to see all these projects come out of the ground and take shape !

😘


I only have personal experience in the Netherlands with them. While I worked as a draftsman (woman)
But I watch building programs/ documentaries from other countries. They are great to get a glimpse behind the scenes there. Building from scratch or renovation projects. Just cool to see.
I think I have many things I like… subject wise.I can imagine @anttn… some countries are crazy tough, restrictions wise.

Have a great day my friend. 👋🏻😘
