We also have huge availability issues over here in europe, and also pricing got a big issue. More and more projects are put on hold or are delayed, no builder can give any price guarantee anymore, which scares off future private home owners. I see piles of processed steel and parts at various companies, as well as processed wood, which are both short on order since months now. The builders that were able to hold/put material on stock will be the ones that survive on the local market, if the situation won't ease soon.

If i were you, i'd divide the project into subprojects, give priorities to each and define smaller steps from start to finish. Then try to realize them get them build by priority, step by step, if possible some parallel in time. This should deliver constant results that don't give you the impression the whole thing "just stops".
It would be good if you have somebody you can trust, who has some expertise, to look over and manage the process constantly.

If possible, let the builder give you a list of needed material. You (or the "manager") can check where you can buy the material from at a good price in time, so the builder can start when you have most important stuff available at site.
Where i live, workers and building companies have started to let the customer buy and organize needed materials, so nobody can blame them for "overpriced" services. This reduced the number of customers not willing to pay on time. Better for the companies to get work done faster, and also a reality check for customers pricing assumptions.

I caught a cold and i can only see clouds and wet surfaces all around my place  

EDIT: moved the reply to here from above:


Fuck...
Most contractors will probably tell you anything to get hired for a project. Before you choose them, look at their references and talk to the according customers. Most time, if you find a competent contractor, he will likely only rely on sufficiently skilled subcontractors, which he worked with successfully in the past.
Yes, it takes more time in the beginning, but generally saves a lot of frustration, time and unexpected cost later.
I hope there's a finished farmhouse already, where you and R can enjoy living and escape from the frustration of stuck projects a little.
Focus on the end result. Every day. Remember: Bad times are usually followed by good times. You know your goal, so you will get there  

Ahh schadenfreude

Define me technical analysis in the shortest way possible.

Remember when Bitmain and them were “burning in” the ASICs you purchased from them for you? Well, it has been happening with GPUs too…

But, are there actually patterns? Is it, indeed, a matter of probabilities?

Or, formulated more properly: Can you prove that it's a matter of probabilities?

Many things have happened, suddenly the fear of many was seized, but finally the price of BTC is recovering, some think that the BTC bearish movement was necessary:





Apart from these indices show the following:

I think this "capitulation" is only part of what can be come, some are preparing for a bullish oviment, when they expect a Bearish movement, most likely, the opposite happens. I was able to go up this time.

For sure I totally agree with you he's one of them , looking at the way he is buying Bitcoin recently, I guess if it's possible he acquires the largest portion of Bitcoin I believe he's going to do it.

If you said there is a cubic fucktonne of money tied up in fiat between $21k too, That is probably why the price could get to 20k level , because there is no big difference between those two price level so it can easily touch down to that level to ensure it retested the previous ATH.

Retrospectively.
Example: A distinct, defined chart pattern was followed by trend continuation, usually on a few selected timeframe charts,  more often than trend reversal.
So the probability is higher that the same pattern will be completed by a continuation move.

It's like winning/losing probabilities of a poker hand, but you can almost always be beaten with the strongest hand on the turn by your opponent when the river card is drawn. So if you play strict probability poker for a long time, you should be in profit, compared to high "volatility" when playing a little against these odds. But, playing short and loose agressive play, like daytrading, might get you bigger single gains.


That's one candle i was waiting for, if you followed my posts here.
Well, it could be orchestrated with some effort by a group of whales, but i think chances are better for a growing market again. We'll see shortly, anyway.
One thing is certain, there is buying interest and there is growing attention when it comes to Bitcoin. This may be the factor that didn't make this correction after last ATH as flashy-crashy as we used to see before, recover faster and build a stronger foundation for another rise. We didn't have that before, but Bitcoin always does the opposite of what most people expect it to do.
