The power of tradesmen and a bitcoin pleb wanting a citadel home:

It will be bartered with blue collar plebs on the following:

Digging my own basement, installing driveway, retaining walls, backfilling, drainage install, landscaping myself, hardwood floors installed myself. Dad used to build houses and is helping me out along the way (epic).

1) Poured concrete foundation and flatwork traded for boulder walls

2) Custom cabinets traded for boulder walls

3) HVAC traded for boulder walls

4) Electricians traded for boulder walls

5) Roof traded for boulder walls

Only thing I haven't bartered for is framing, painting and well service. Obviously haven't touched on everything but those are some of the biggest expenses.

I plan to start next year, been a long time coming.

None of this was realistic for me before finding bitcoin. It adjusted my outlook and motivated me in ways I never could have imagined.
