It's not a flex to build something 10000x times stronger than it needs to be, it's just bad engineering. Good engineering is building what you need with enough padding to avoid trouble, and thus costing only what's necessary. It's a huge waste of money to build something that'll last a thousand years, or even a few hundred. No one wants to waste that kind of money.

    After helping design and build buildings and houses for 52 years, I am amazed you guys put raw wood supports surrounded by dirt. Even con crete is a bad idea. My suggestion is to pour a base such as a minimum 12" diameter concrete with a Simpson base plate adapter and bolt in the concrete. The Simpson base plate has an internal galvanized U-shaped plate that raises the bottom of the wood post up about 1/2 inch above the base, and helps prevent rotting. Based on your work I'm sure you know this.

The process, the mistakes and struggles, the visitors, the jokes, the rain and indecisiveness (which varies from employee to boss), except for the brands, materials and some strategies used this mirrored a typical work day.

    This is so interesting! I live in Germany, in a wooden house as well. Not a traditional one, but a modern, timber frame construction one. However, the walls are easily three times as thick, and the floor joists are not 1x12 like in this house, but something along the lines of 4x12 (although the spacing isn't as tight), just to give one example.
    Seems like we like to overbuild over here, or you like saving money a little too much.

My grandfather was a great builder never cutting corners the houses he did are all over and still standing strong.

    My grandparents had a house like this. The BIG problem, is that the hillside slides out over the years and eventually undermines the foundations. You get these big cracks that grow wider and wider, it's quite scary to see. You really want to spend the extra money to stabilize the build site, including deep downhill pilings and terracing, if you aren't planning on just burning the place down when you are too old to live there anymore.

In fact, I think the building will be just fine for hundreds of years. Forest fires, however, are a common and even frequent natural occurrence brought on by a simple lightening strike; burning millions of acres in forests EVERY YEAR. Once they start, almost nothing can stop them. That forest will burn several times in years to come.
