Introduction

After 20 years of stressfull work  as technical manager on a private company from Bucharest ( capital of Romania) I decided to find a nice and quiet place and built a home with no future expenses. My childrem  (two boys and a girl) had finished their school, have jobs and need their own home to have a family. Me and my wife, always dreamed to have a home in a village with our own garden with trees, flowers and vegetables and our own chikens, ducks, gooses so we could eat bio. In 2007 I found a place of 10.000 square meters at an incredible price (0.3 $ per sq.m.) with the perfect orientation (N-S) and all facilities (water, electricity, natural gas and good road) at the border of a beautiful village (Filipestii de Padure). We bought a trailer, and on the autum of  2008 we started to build what would become our house foundation.  In May 2009 we came back and decided to finish the build and move permanently here. The construction was finalized in 6 months, by a small team of builders supervised by me. Throught the process many new issues apeared from the original plan but i managed to integrate them in the project without changing the foundaments from which i have started.

Overall I can say that building this house was a dream came true and also a life experience, that proved to be  also  a great investing.
