From a Dream to Your Own Home: The Story of a Female Construction Site Part 5 Final

Many city dwellers dream of having a country house or at least a summer cottage. The path to this dream is different for everyone - for some it comes true, and for some it is not. Participant FORUMHOUSE under the nickname ST_00 told the story of how she paved the way to suburban life. The uniqueness of the story is that the heroine did absolutely everything with her own hands. What she did in the end - read on.

This is the final, but intermediate ...

The construction process of the change house was gradually coming to an end. This small house should become the main base for the continuation of my construction of the century. There remained work to insulate the building and give it an acceptable appearance. This is the final, but intermediate ...

Outdoor decoration

We decided to sheathe the change house with 9 mm OSB boards, and then, over time, insulate it with 2 mm foam and sew it up with an inch of natural or chamber drying. I was looking for a cheaper option, but the plans changed, and we just sheathed the OSB change house and went through the impregnation. These are temporary measures - so that the winter will stand.

Sheathing is not difficult, but tedious, and even when there is no electricity and a good weather forecast is only for two days. First, we marked the racks for the future veranda. When everything was sheathed round, they immediately inserted a window: they bought it already equipped for installation. And they also made a homemade door with a lock. This is the first time I made the door: there are a lot of jambs - well, okay, let it stand like this for the winter, and redo it in the spring.

Interior decoration

Outside, everything is more or less decent: the finish has come to an end and you need to go inside. There is nothing particularly interesting about the interior work: everything was insulated with mineral and basalt cotton wool, and isoflex on top. I chose it because it is the most versatile: it is a heater, a sound insulator, and a vapor insulator.

The insulation went on for a long time - the vacation came to an end and the work did not allow me to devote enough time to construction. In addition, there was still no electricity, it was getting dark early - you couldn't do much. There were only hopes for the weekend, more precisely, for one day off - Sunday! In parallel with the interior decoration, a veranda was made.

Results of the first stage

Still, the change house has come to its logical conclusion - it is possible not only to continue construction with comfort, but even to live in it. This intermediate stage was the first step towards a dream - a country house. Now my site is a fenced, well-groomed area with a temporary dwelling. I am attaching photographs of what happened in the end.
