Here’s what you have to do with your bedroom to improve your sleep: 1. Create a dark space with blackout curtains, no ceiling lights and no gadgets. 2.

My career goal is to create a 100 masons who free lance mass wall vernacular like this:

Timeless principles of architecture in the sound money era: 1. We will not build bigger buildings to lock in more equity. We will build smaller, more functional builds that will be more durable. 2. The buildings will have timeless beauty and age gracefully. Will need less maintenance 3. They will have healthier indoor spaces, with more natural sunlight, more fresh air and more energy-efficiency so excess energy can go towards other activities like mining cryptographically secured sound money. 4. They will have more functional open spaces to spend more time outdoors, like outdoor kitchens, porches, orangeries, covered open-air lounges etc. 5. They will be harmoniously embedded in the local climatic and cultural context and will be more biophilic - surrounded by gardens and closer to nature. 6. The economic value will be derived from utility and beauty, not fiat equity. 7. They will serve more than one generation.

Finally got professional photos of one of our latest projects. It's such a cool house. I looove how all the lighting turned out. All directional, lighting up the brick walls!

reminder that upstairs/in bedrooms you can simply use 5 to 15 watt incandescent bulbs and its easy and pleasant and low enough energy and there is no reason the bedroom needs to be bright enough to kill a cave of bats
