Woops! I guess I should answer my own question. Its important for me to be free to screw up. By that I mean having the freedom to try doing things in a manner harmonious with my nature. In many places today, most, I'd guess in the states, I couldn't have moved my family into the rough shell of a house without a knock on the door from child services or some housing inspection agency. Thus far my wife and I have been free to show our daughters how to act on a dream, how we are willing to sacrifice for something that is our own. I was free to do that here mostly because my neighbors are more concerned with their business that mine and noone yet is overly concerned with instituting codes or code enforcement (marrying a woman of rare patience also helps). The mistakes, except for the sand mound, are my own.
