Sounds good. Well done. What country? What feels great? Being in natural walls that you built? Do you still have ongoing bills from debts or to run the place? Do u see any way that cryptocurrency and the blockchain can bring freedom to the shelter space? Since mortgages are the lynchpin of the global financial system how can crypto create freedom from industrialised shelter and support traditional shelter creation which is performed as a fun, gifting exercise?

Lots of questions... I'm not really an answer guy myself, the only one i can answer is the one about the house, otherwise I'm clueless. It feels good because of the factor you mentioned in the op: safety. And I'm not even talking so much physical safety. If anyone realy wanted to kill me it would be extremely easy. Wait behind one of the bushes I pass every day with my dog. I'm talking about the emotional and nental level. It just feels good to know that danger can only come from one direction in the place where you sleep.

The walls are cob straight from the earth. The mixture of clay and sand was good enough the way I dug it up. Mixed it with straw and water and made a thick u-shaped main wall.

Wow that’s some precise cobbing. Looks like rammed earth. Well done. So you built roof first and then cobbed up to roof?

Yes. It has pros and cons but I prefer it. I posted more pics but they didn't go through.

i see all the pros. What are the cons?

The closer the wall gets to the roof the harder things get. You are now constantly working above your head because you can't get up higher.
