Writing 1 Article A Day For My House I used to write to have something I could add up to my HODL wallets. Now, I have to set aside my goal to reach 10BCH and focus on my house first. As much as I wanted to save more BCH for this year, my house is important, too, and it has been delayed for about 2 months already.

It was around in May when I decided to use all my cash to start my tiny house. I used up all my savings for that and even loaned some to add up to my budget. However, the cash I had was still not enough. Although I did save up some BCH for my house a few months ago, it's not ideal to use those because of the current price. I had those BCH when the price was around $1000, so imagine that if I would convert them now. I would lose half of the price. So now, as I've mentioned before, starting this October, I will use all my earnings from read to fund my house again, so I can finally finish the construction. I think I need at least $2000 to complete the house. And based on my estimation, I earn at least $200 a month from writing articles. If I get lucky, I could have $300 or more. Of course, I won't be expecting for the more part because as I've said, it's not always Christmas here.

Now, I plan to convert them into fiat at the end of the month. My priority now, according to my sister, is to use the money first for the *marine plywood* for the double walling. I hope I can earn enough to complete the entire wall, though. Then, my next priority after the double walling will be the *bathroom/toilet*. I think I might need more money for that because of the flooring, tiles, toilet, shower, and extra faucet. After those, the third one will be for the *sink*. I think the sink won't cost that much. The next one will be for the *floor* I guess, and then for the *ceiling*. Oh my! I've just realized how much money would spend on all those. Not to mention, I also need *4 sliding windows, 3 doors, and another 1 for the bathroom/toilet*. After all those things, I need to *furnish the outside part of the house and paint the inside* too. And lastly, the *porch*. Yeah, a house without a porch is quite a boring one for me. Based on things I've just mentioned here, I think I need at least $4000 I guess. So far, I have spent $2000 already, which includes materials and labor. I wish I just build a studio-type room, though, so I won't have to be spending so much. Honestly, before all of these, I did my research but relied only on YouTube and Facebook. They mentioned that even with $2000, you can have a decent house already. I never thought I would have to spend a lot. Oh well, it's a house so what do I expect. And I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end.

*Closing thoughts* Since I will need a lot of BCH for the house, I might soon review my scholarship and remove the inactive ones. I will also reduce my share to the community. For now, I won't aim to have the diamond badge until I can finally finish the house. Don't worry, I will still do some upvotes but maybe, not as huge as before. And I hope I can really achieve that 1 article a day so I won't miss any opportunity to earn BCH. As for noise, they will stay in my wallets for HODL to ensure that I will still have something to save.
