en years ago, in 2012, I suddenly turned older and realized that I was ready to live in a Home of my own, a country house on the edge of the forest, in silence,
with birds chirping, a large lawn and a pond.

So, we started looking for our plot of land. Vika and I did not have much money, but we had the time and the will. There were some plots that were too far away, some that were too small, some that were noisy, some that didn't fit, some that had no forest, and some that were just depressing.

And then, one cloudy day, we came to Durlesti to look at a 10-acre plot of land, right by the forest.

It appeared to be a field showing no trace of life, the rain had turned it into a mess.

When I reached the forest edge, I leaned against an oak tree, took a deep breath of the fresh, forest air, and felt something inside me.

I had no idea then that this was a place of power that would fuel me for years to come.
I got in the car, removed the mud, and told the seller we accepted!
My next step was planning my dream house, along with a designer.

Ooh, designing with me is another story to tell.

I suppose that Prometheus and Sisyphus suffered less than my friends – artists, architects, designers and other creative people who dared to take me on as a client.
It was complicated, had to be revised a million times, but... Most often, people who found it difficult to work with me were proud of the result, and for some of them these projects became the best in their portfolio.

I take this opportunity to apologize to everyone who was fed up with my perfectionism and doubts about the projects. Thanks for believing that your suffering was not in vain!

So, my dream home had to be perfect, unlike anything else, with flawless design and comfort.

Yep, and at least 500 square feet. Hah!

We started with sketches, many different ones. I even modeled some designs out of plasticine.

And later the 3D renders followed.
Six months later I realized that if I didn't stop, the designers would make a Voodoo doll and I would start having health issues.
So, I gave my designers a hug, told them the home project was accepted, and asked for a rough estimate.

A seven-digit message came into my messenger and put a big end mark to everything, and brought me down to earth. To my little piece of earth on the edge of the forest.

The home got cancelled for an indefinite time... Well, maybe try to build a little vacation home?
