Someone dares to make their first post in the forum, finds the questionnaire, shares their initial idea, and then realizes they are not taken seriously because no one even remotely addresses what they actually want to do. Then read my post #3. I am very willing to help. But questions need to be answered in return.

To me, it’s not really clear “what he actually intends” beyond building a non-bungalow bachelor pad as a retirement home in the mountains. What he should do is, first, respond to the follow-up questions and, second, clarify this obvious conceptual contradiction. So far, only users known here as willing helpers have replied. However, they also serve as good-humored reminders that questioners have a responsibility to contribute constructively. If someone simply posts “my first SH3D kids’ drawing,” there won’t be a thunderous applause, of course.
