content: I've been living in country side for most of my youth, which enabled me to have tools and materials around. I have been always been tinkering with stuff.  Whenever I need to do something a bit more advanced, I spend couple of hours researching what I am doing. Actually even reading research papers on latest techniques. Like when I built the living room wooden floor you see in the first video slides, I spent maybe 50 hours just reading up on how this type of floor is supposed to be built and how does the subfloor work. I actually had to rebuild everything up from the ground, as the subfloor wasn't in reusable condition. I also try to utilize my other tangential skills. Like I had to 3D model the stairs multiple times to get them to fit in that very tight space so I could walk them up and down without hitting my head. And sufficient slope as not to be completely like a ladder :) I have to admit, my jointery is appalling, but hey, I build the stuff for usage, not for looks. "Good enough, hide the crimes, etc." :P
