Congrats!
My first antenna around '91 or so was really restricted since we lived in an apartment: it was a 10m dipole that I'd hang up diagonally across my bedroom ceiling when I was on the air. Granted propagation conditions around early 1990s were excellent, but it still surprises me how well that antenna worked. Europe, Japan, Australia, South America and all across North America off an indoor dipole and usually <100W.
I was a broke high-school student then, so I couldn't afford a tuner. But, I'd scrounged together a few decent-sized air variable caps, wound a coil that I tapped with alligator clips, and built a tuner that was a bit limited, but got me down to 15m

Gotta get creative!
