Title pretty much says it all.. Each time you think you understand the aesthetic he’s going for or think things are turning around and it’s starting to look cool, he ruins it leaving you scratching ur head. I’ve never found a custom-built nature home or temporary shelter in one of these videos to be ugly, no matter the quality of the video or materials & tools used.. but this guy had access (as well as professional training..) to tools, materials & a budget most creators in this “genre” of videos don’t have.

He managed to turn a really cool concept, into an ugly collage of holes carved into the side of a mountain as well as a super tiny living space that’s tight, has no bubble space and you’re always inches away from essentials like the bathroom/shower, the bedroom & the “hangout space” - that is if it isn’t another tiny hole carved into the side of the mountain thats disconnected, that he has to leave his “house” to access.. It’s super inconvenient and looks like he just did shit as he went along without thinking, and the guy spent over 4 years on this shit and it’s still not done yet - almost. It came out super ugly, he could’ve made this into a really dope home but idk what he was smoking.

Still an interesting watch to see the process, what he does, how his “plans” change over time, and what it ends up looking like... it amazes me how cramped it is, how sloppy everything, including the cement work (which he uses for everything, including the bathroom “counter”) looks, & how he managed to turn something natural that could have easily kept its natural feel, into a cramped dungeon from medieval times that was just discovered & is half-caved in.

What a waste of almost five years lol.

Look at what these motherfuckers are capable of in 30 days; imagine if they had access to his tools, budget & materials?!

Agreed. It was technically fascinating, but his choices of what to do were pretty weird.
