Graph paper from the USSR. I use it for drawings and plans, when building a house with my own hands.

If you are building a house without a project, this does not mean that everything should be in your head! I drew up a minimal, general plan of the house, on paper that I found in my grandmother's bins.

After all, everyone remembers how they drew something on such paper at school. I clearly remembered this, because everyone in the class had blue paper, and I was the only one who came with orange graph paper, even from the USSR (to make it clearer, I was born in 1988).

During my school years, my grandmother supplied me with it, who was a teacher of algebra and geometry (accordingly, graph paper she had "heaps").

✅ And now many years have passed, and the grandmother is no longer there, and in her house, I found more stocks of this "scale-coordinate" paper (as it is written on it). And now, just like at school, she helps me out when building my house.

I already wrote about why am I building a house without a project, but at the same time I do not just "mold" the first thing that comes to mind. I drew general plans and structures on graph paper, and it helped me a lot.

In the imagination, it is difficult to compare everything with reality. And so everything is clear.

Here I selected the required dimensions of the structures, and even did some financial calculations. And simply, as far as the future home was concerned, I simply marked it so as not to forget.

Of course, much of what I drew has been corrected in practice.
Not all calculations were correct, but a lot came in handy ...

So, with a small piece of paper and a pencil, I went from a wooded area to the box of a house (this is at the moment) ...

And again, these little things make this whole process so enjoyable.

The plot on which I planted potatoes with my parents as a child (then it was abandoned), the graph paper of which is more years old than me and my plot, and all this is now in my hands, gives rise to a new story, a new home ...

Although maybe it's just me, so sentimental ...
