I Changed My Mind: 5 Massive Blueprint Adjustments To My Liberia Build | Building in Liberia 2026🇱🇷🌍

What looks perfect on paper doesn't always work when your boots hit the soil! 🏗️🌍 When I first designed the blueprints for my legacy home in Liberia, I thought the layout was completely finalized. But once we broke ground and I stood on the actual plot of land, I realized that to build a home that lasts for generations, I had to make some major pivots. In this video, I am taking you behind the scenes of the 5 critical blueprint changes I made on the fly—from flipping the entire orientation of the house and extending the ensuite windows, to making heavy-duty structural upgrades like 16-foot high walls and raising the concrete foundation to protect against the tropical rainy season. (Plus, if you watch until the end, I share one bonus layout change I made specifically to protect my daily peace and mental health!) 🌿 Building a house abroad is a masterclass in adaptability. Let me know in the comments: which of these layout changes do you think was the smartest investment? ─── 🎥 CATCH UP ON THE LIBERIA BUILD FROM DAY 1: 👉 [   • Building Abroad | Building In  Liberia 202...  ] ✈️ WHY I TOOK A SABBATICAL TO BUILD IN AFRICA: 👉 [   • Building Abroad | Building In  Liberia 202...  ] ─── If you are loving this journey of building a home in West Africa and designing a life of total freedom, hit the "Super Thanks" (the heart icon below!) to support the channel.
