Country house made of pallets for 50 thousand rubles

There are many examples among self-builders who begin to build houses on their site from a bare field. It's tiring to come every day, especially if the site is located tens of kilometers from the city. There is nowhere to hide in the rain. Spend the night too. And I want to come on the weekend and devote full days to construction.

Where can you sleep? Especially with my family. The tent is not the most comfortable option. Some make temporary housing, small summer frame trailers. This is what my neighbor did:

I made a flooring on the used tires, put the frame and sheathed the outside with OSB sheets. Probably bought used windows from ads, a couple of sheets of roofing material and polycarbonate (for the veranda of this house). I spent the night there with my family on weekends (and even in winter) while building a house. How to finally finish the construction - will disassemble.

But for the frame, you need to buy boards and spend a lot of time on the construction of this frame. I met an example where a self-builder built a country house from used pallets:

The frame of the building and the roof are installed in one day. On the roof, the author used an inexpensive roofing material. Perhaps, when he has finances, he will cover it on top of something else.

The frame is sheathed with OSB sheets. Inside it is not known what. Can be a planed board. There were pallets on a part of the fence.

Where can I get so many pallets and, most importantly, that it is free or as inexpensive as possible? First of all, let's take a look at the ads:

Used pallets are sold at a price of 150-200 rubles. Buying up - 100 rubles / piece. For the house (you can count on the photo), the self-builder took about 33 pallets (taking into account one window and the entrance). This is a maximum of 6,600 rubles. He laid another material on the floor - shown in the photographs below. Plus shipping.

But you can go the other way. If someone is building a house from blocks nearby, then pallets remain there. Not everyone has the opportunity to take them out of the site and sell them (you need a trailer or your own truck). Purchase at 50-100 rubles / piece. can be taken from them or taken for free (if you agree).

You can follow the steps in construction in these photos:

Building materials were delivered and a used timber strapping was made (there are two beams inside the perimeter). As the base of the floors, the sidewalls from the power cable reels are laid. As a foundation - sand-cement blocks (cinder blocks). About 14 pcs. = RUB 560

The process of erecting the frame. You can pull off the pallets with self-tapping screws (but not black - they are fragile). The door is used or you can make it yourself from a board of pallets. Even in ads on avito, doors are often given free of charge with self-pickup. You can take it out on the roof rack of your car.

We count the costs. In addition to pallets (with costs from 0 rubles. up to RUB 6,600). Let's take the middle option - 3300 RUB You will need lumber for roofing, walls and floors. Let it be 2 m3 of board (18 thous. rub.) and OSB sheets. About 18 sheets (800 rubles / sheet) = 14400 RUB Roofing material - from 300 rubles / roll. Two rolls: RUB 600 Windows, doors are free. Fasteners, screws. Let there be more RUB 1000

Total: RUB 42,500 Taking into account the delivery of materials and unaccounted costs, we will round up to 50 thous. rub.

Yes, the house is not insulated. This is a summer housing option. For many summer residents, only the warm season is enough. If the house is not immediately sheathed from the inside, but insulated and laid with steam and windproof films, then the building can be turned into housing for year-round living. True, without communications, like water and sewage. But these are already other costs ...
