In the early spring of 2006, I came to work in Moscow. Like other people who came in large numbers, he started with rented housing. By 2008, I was already pretty fed up with the prices and condition of this housing, as well as the “services” of realtors. I started looking for an alternative.
I will not bore the reader with a description of all the options and factors I considered and calculated, but by the fall of 2008 the idea was formed in its final form:
- buy the cheapest garage in the place closest to work and comfortable for living,
- design and build housing (the project will depend on the specific conditions of the construction site),
- costs should be minimal (since it is unreasonable to make large investments in a pilot project) and phased (since it is unreasonable to spend the entire budget at once),
- the planned budget of the project is about 300 thousand rubles. Yes, that's right - approximately the annual cost of renting housing in Moscow.

With the choice of a construction site, everything is simple. I looked through all the advertisements for the sale of garages, chose the cheapest options, inspected them (immediately with an eye to the possibility of rebuilding them into housing), carried out reconnaissance of the area and interviewed the aborigines (for the presence of other interesting options, the nature of the environment, possibilities for connecting to electricity, prospects for demolition and etc.). As a result, on September 27, 2008, a metal garage was selected and purchased for only 45,000 rubles, a 10-minute walk from the metro, in a prestigious area of the capital, 9 km from work and only 10 km from the Kremlin.
Construction was carried out on weekends, on their own (1 human). A great warm-up after a week of office work at the computer! So the advantages of the project include savings on visiting the gym. During the active phase of construction, the phrase that was relevant to me was: “Oh-oh-oh, it’s finally Monday!!!”
1. We disassemble (and in some places we simply break apart) the old garage. The released metal is carefully stored nearby - it will still be useful to us.
2. Rear view.
3. Clearing the construction site for the new building…
4. ...and level the ground.
5. We bring KAMAZ sand...
6. ... and align the sand cushion to the design mark.
Oh, I’m already describing the progress of construction, but I forgot to introduce the inquisitive reader to the project. So what am I building here?
And I am building, no less, a two-story modular cottage with completely autonomous life support systems. Two-story - understandable. Modular - Consisting of modules that can be quickly and easily relocated. At that time, I didn’t know all the risks of the project, so I preferred to have a backup option in case of, say, the demolition of garages, problems with the environment, etc. If problems arose, I would load the modules with a crane into two trucks and move to another site.
Completely autonomous life support systems mean complete freedom from all centralized communications and “ties” to a specific place, using only its own and imported resources and, therefore, not owing anything to anyone.
My project was impeccable, including legally: the site was allocated to me as a member of the garage cooperative (which is documented), I will install on it, without a foundation, on the ground, two modules, which are essentially steel cubes (this is the permitted use of the site). I have documents for the cubes and their contents. These cubes cannot be subject to any laws regarding real estate or housing (since they are simply neither one nor the other).
Thus, to the question about the legality of living in a garage, I answer - no laws have been violated, no one lives in a garage, and no one has the right to in any way limit the owner of an iron cube in his right to be inside this cube or to store various objects and liquids in it. With the exception of those expressly prohibited by law - such as weapons, drugs, explosives, etc.
That is, the complete autonomy of life support systems is also a factor in the legality of placing such a structure on a site that is not equipped with either water supply or sewerage. However, for 5 years no one has made any claims against me, asked any questions, or checked the legality of my residence. But nevertheless, I was ready for any surprises. Probably, the reader has already guessed that with such a serious approach to business and careful consideration of all the details, the project was doomed to success? Yes, that's right. But a little later.
7. In the meantime, the future successful Muscovite poses after a hard day of work throwing sand with a shovel and leveling it against the backdrop of a future lair of luxury and comfort. I asked a passing pedestrian to take a photo. I hid my face - why do I need extra popularity?
8. We lay sheets of metal from the roof of the dismantled garage on the leveled sand. The result is a perfectly horizontal platform with a hard (steel!) coating. You can install the first module.
In addition to a detailed photo report, I also have a detailed financial report and timekeeping. How else? An investment project is not a piece of cake! An accurate assessment of its economic indicators is necessary.
Thus, reader, very soon you will receive an accurate and comprehensive answer to the question “How to build yourself a house in Moscow for 300 thousand rubles?”, which has been troubling “Muscovites, spoiled by the housing problem,” at least since the creative heyday of the author of the quoted phrase.
Here is the chronology and costs at the time the site was ready (I apologize for the destruction of formatting when transferring data from Excel):

13. We sew up the gaps between the neighboring garage and mine with galvanized steel, and lay out the area in front of the gate with marble (found in a landfill, of which there are plenty near the territory). The site of the future main entrance is still a steel panel from an old garage, supported by a rusty barrel.
14. Assemble the back wall using parts from an old garage. By the way, the exit to the backyard is ready - the gate in the gate from the old garage is quite functional. And the former gate itself is now just part of the wall.
15. Top view of the fenced area. Now my construction site measures 7 x 3.5 meters.
16. We are transporting the second module.
17. Installed. With a cantilevered projection from the facade - both an increase in area and a canopy over the gate.
18. Rear view.
19. This is what the top module looks like from the inside.
20. So, the second module is a factory-assembled block container BK-00, external dimensions: width 2.45 m, length 5.85 m, height 2.45, supporting frame - welded metal, frame - wooden, roof - flat welded made of 0.8 mm sheet, external cladding - galvanized corrugated sheet C10-40-1150, internal finishing - plastic panels, plank floor, window with bars, door.

Total costs for module 2 - 80,014 rubles.
The total construction budget as of December 7, 2008 amounted to 186 thousand rubles. It looks like we’ll meet the planned budget!
By the way, as a piece of advice: never buy ready-made block containers. The quality of their manufacturing and especially their insulation is absolutely stellar! I had to remove the sheathing and practically re-install the heat and wind insulation. I added a 5 cm layer of ISOVER 11 to the crookedly placed, IN PLACES, 5 cm foam plastic. As a result, the total thickness of the insulation became 100 mm and all the cracks were eliminated. The result is an “Arctic” modification of the block container!
In general, it was necessary to buy only a frame with external cladding, insulate it yourself, lay the floor and make wall and ceiling cladding from plasterboard and cover it with wallpaper. In terms of price, the result would be almost the same, but in terms of quality - incomparably better.
So, the core of the structure is ready, the fate of the project now depends only on the creation of reliable and autonomous life support systems. The issue with the heating system was resolved unexpectedly simply - it turns out that the European bourgeoisie have long been producing on an industrial scale the ideal solution to the problem of autonomous heating of small buildings - a gas convector. If you are interested in technical details, google them yourself, but I’ll be honest - they shocked me!
22. This convector + propane cylinder = reliable, stable, comfortable heat in any shed for mere pennies. Piezo ignition, thermostat, burner extinction protection. Air intake and exhaust of combustion products are from the outside, through a coaxial pipe, which is also a heat exchanger that heats the incoming air with the heat of exhaust gases (+10% to efficiency). The combustion chamber is completely isolated from the room, so even in the worst (almost incredible) case, the gas will not penetrate into the room, but will exit through the pipe and dissipate.
I applaud the bourgeois engineers and manufacturers and buy this miracle of engineering for 10,000 rubles. Isn't he beautiful?
23. We install, strictly following the instructions and showing our own ingenuity and ingenuity. By the way, as it turned out, covering (even a plastic!) wall with galvanization was unnecessary. This device does not heat up the wall it hangs on at all. I put a galvanized sheet under it, misunderstanding the word “convector” in its name.
Note: Wikipedia kindly informs us that “a convector is a heating device in which heat from a coolant or heating element is transferred to a heated room by convection. Natural convection, in which warm air, already heated by contact with the coolant or heating element, rises to the top, and its place is taken by colder room air, is enhanced by the design of the convector.” I stand up and once again applaud the bourgeois engineers!
24. And finally the long-awaited moment! Turn the knob, click the piezo ignition button - through the viewing window we watch as a blue light flashes above the burner.
25. The heat exchanger (black housing with an inspection window) began to heat up. It's already scorching hot. I put the beautiful white case in place - a stream of warm air begins to flow through its holes. After about half an hour, the sweatshirt gets hot, and I undress. After another half hour, the room temperature reaches room temperature.
26. Windproof grille at the end of the coaxial pipe of the convector (coaxial means the exhaust pipe is located in the center of the air intake pipe).
It's minus 10 outside. The heating system is completely ready and has been tested. I will no longer have to change into wet, frozen overalls in the cold.
27. December 27, 2008. New Year is coming soon. I’m leaving for my homeland for the Christmas holidays and will continue my Moscow construction work after returning. Happy upcoming year everyone! Good luck to us in 2009!
31. I pump up the furniture. I'm making the bed. Judging by the size of the bed, I am an optimist and am confident that Muscovites will appreciate the comfort of my home and my own merits and will be frequent guests here (at a minimum) or roommates (ideally). As it says: “A man’s self-esteem can be judged by the number of condoms he takes on a date. Even if this is a first date.”
The heating works, there is a bed. I'm doing a test overnight. Alone. In a steel box in the middle of a strange, deserted area filled with assorted garages. Fine. The house warmed up well during the night, and in the morning it was warm and cozy.
I have breakfast with cookies, washed down with water from a bottle. If you want hot tea, you urgently need to get a stove. But it's not a problem. The most critical issue for the project is on the agenda - autonomous water supply and sewerage, functional shower and sink. If this issue cannot be resolved, this is not a residential cottage, but just a heated barn.
I solve the problem with the sink simply - I use a time-tested, “village” system. It should be noted that I was born and raised in a village, so I don’t experience culture shock when I see a washstand. The advantages of the washbasin are its simplicity and extremely economical water consumption. After all, for the first 17 years of my life I only used a washstand; millions of Russian villagers and summer residents still use it, and no one complains.
With a shower, the issue is more complicated. I am an office worker - a daily shower, shaving and a clean shirt are a must for me. I know that for a person with short hair, 10 liters of warm water is enough to wash. In order to effectively wash yourself with such a quantity of water, it is necessary that its thin stream flows from above and can be quickly adjusted and blocked. A compact shower stall appears with a tank of warm water on top and a faucet.
Storage electric water heater under the ceiling? Not an option - you cannot count on uninterrupted power supply, the low ceiling and high shower tray do not leave space for a water heater, and you also need to ensure that water can be easily drained from the system. To be able to completely turn off the heating in winter for periods of my long absence.
I choose a simpler, ultra-reliable and energy-independent option: water is heated to the desired temperature in a 15-liter enamel tank on a gas stove (ready time 15-20 minutes), then pumped into a compact supply tank above the shower stall, from where it is consumed by gravity as needed. When it runs out, an additional portion is pumped from the tank.
So, per week per person you will need 60-70 liters of tap water and about 10 liters of drinking water (I have breakfast and lunch at work, in the evenings only tea. And soup on weekends). Thus, to ensure water supply once a week, I have to purchase 2 five-liter bottles of drinking water from Auchan (for 100 rubles) and fill 2 twenty-liter canisters and 3 ten-liter cans with tap water for free.
Bullshit question - at the nearest shopping center I load the cans into a cart, fill it with water from any water tap I can find and roll the cart to the car. I reload the canisters into the trunk, then carry the canisters 15 meters from the trunk to the house. A little physical activity is very beneficial for office plankton! You can also refuel with water at work or with friends, or anywhere. One “but” - the car becomes part of the water supply system (and gas supply too), its loss for a long time is very critical - you will have to bring gas and water by taxi.
32. I buy a shower stall and start assembling it. The pallet and walls are assembled.
33. Other components (sink, washbasin, gas stove).
34. We fashion a consumable tank with a faucet “out of what was.” We connect the components with hoses.
35. The “heart” of the system is a country shower-treadmill. Its energy independence and the highest technical and economic characteristics make it the undisputed leader among all other possible pump options. Pumping 10 liters of water means just 20 times (without being distracted from washing) to massage your elastic red “boobs” with your heels (which for a man, you see, is not at all difficult, but rather pleasant :)
37. The washstand, sink, and gas stove are ready. The hose hanging behind the washbasin is connected to the pump. You need to lower its end into a tank of warm water standing on the tile. And you can go to the shower.
38. You ask: “What about washing?” I answer: “As long as there are self-service laundries in Moscow, it is easier to go and do laundry in rented washing machines than to build an autonomous one and supply water for it.” 200 rubles costs 1 machine wash for 8 kg of laundry. I just bought 30 shirts and 30 pairs of socks and only did laundry once a month. Loaded 3 machines at the same time. In total, the cost of washing was approximately 600 rubles. per month.
39. Watched TV a little while waiting for the laundry to finish. He put the wet, washed clothes in bags and took them home. I hung it up, fully opened the ventilation and added temperature with the heater thermostat. After a few hours the laundry was dry. Imagine the amount of moisture evaporated from THIS volume of laundry and estimate the power reserve of the heater and ventilation system of the house. In the photo - about a fifth of the usual washing volume is dried.
40. Sewerage. Initially - in cans. From the washbasin: in winter - into a 10-liter container standing under the sink,
...in the summer - into a 30-liter shower canister standing on the street. Why not go there in winter? There is a one-time powerful discharge of warm water from the shower, and the pipe will not freeze - all the water flows out of it before the heated pipe freezes. The washbasin has a sluggish drain - the pipes will not warm up, and the water in them will gradually freeze.
As I wrote above, draining sewage into canisters allows me to declare the autonomy of the building and the absence of its influence on the surrounding area. In the event of attempts to claim against me, I could demonstrate the tightening of sewer cans with plugs, loading them into a car and removing them for disposal in an unknown direction. However, since no claims were made, and soapy water is not classified as highly toxic waste, there were no problems with its disposal on the polluted territory of the garage cooperative.
About a couple of times a week (and only in winter) you need to empty the washbasin canister. Once every 2 days (in summer) - a shower canister. In winter, instead of a canister, place a plastic bucket and kick it along the bottom, in the nearest snowdrift, and ice is deposited daily in the shape of this bucket. It will melt in the spring.
For chitoplubbers who want to talk about the topic “Moscow has been polluted,” I recommend taking a walk through the garages and admiring the puddles of machine oil, dumps of canisters from under it, used filters, bottles, bags, corpses of stray dogs (and their future followers, also busy not cleaning territory), etc. This is really a problem. And given that garbage containers are placed everywhere, its reason is the banal laziness and indifference of the natives.
I repeat once again, the design of my building provides for the removal and disposal of waste. Of course, haha, I took out the liquid waste and handed it over to a specialized company for disposal. If necessary, I will even provide supporting documents. Law and order come first!
41. So, the main life support systems are ready (in addition to those described, there is also a ventilation system and later there will be an air conditioner). I won’t describe the toilet, since I don’t see any problems with its design. There are dozens of ready-made solutions - from a basic plastic bottle and bucket to dry closets of various designs, shapes and volumes. After all, if you, the reader, cannot independently solve the problem of disposing of several hundred grams of your own excrement, then what, baby, are you doing on this site? 🙂
42. Since the end of March 2009, I began living permanently in my new home, while simultaneously completing construction. Everything is the same - only on weekends. Internal situation in 2009.
46. ...and construction intensified.
50. I decided to practice making steel doors from the emergency exit of the 2nd floor (to my neighbor’s roof). Considering that I just learned welding on the Internet, it’s not bad for the first door. Only after welding a kilogram of electrodes did I begin to feel a little of the essence of electric arc welding - to understand the dependence of the set current on the thickness of the metal being welded, the position of the seam, etc. It seems that experience is important in welding - the longer and more you weld, the better the quality of the seam.
51. General view of the emergency exit door.
52. Summer landscape from the backyard - is it not a rural idyll?
53. Having practiced welding, we move on to the main facade.
54. The main entrance door from the inside...
To build a country house, most people choose budget house designs. There is no point in overpaying for expensive building materials or ordering a project for a huge mansion if this living space will only be used occasionally. A good option for residents of Nizhny Novgorod can be frame houses up to 300 thousand rubles on a turnkey basis. This is not a myth, but a reality - one-story economy class houses have gained popularity due to their cost and comfortable layout. Ready-made housing projects for construction include extensions in the form of a garage, attic or terrace.
Ready-made house projects up to 300 thousand rubles
There is an opinion that building a house is an activity that requires a huge amount of money and time. But that's not true! The catalog presents several options for cheap country houses made of SIP panels. A low price does not always mean the use of poor building materials or a small building area. BASKO specialists are trying to make suburban housing more affordable by optimizing production and logistics costs. You can build a house yourself for 300 thousand rubles, using ready-made house kits and design documentation. The house kit includes everything you need:
- Set of SIP panels
- Interfloor ceilings
- Project with a finished layout
- Accessories, all necessary fasteners
Available options include an attic, a garage or a summer terrace. For three hundred thousand rubles you get a complete set of materials - you can assemble the dacha of your dreams in a matter of days! All you need is a plot of land and the desire to carry out the finishing work yourself.
Turnkey construction of houses up to 300 thousand rubles
Cheap country cottages can cost only 300 thousand rubles - they are perfect for summer living, and their appearance is in no way inferior to modern mansions. How did this become possible? Thanks to SIP panels! This high-tech material is actively used in the construction of budget frame houses. It easily tolerates the harsh Russian climate, is resistant to external physical influence and is durable. The production company BASKO sells frame houses up to 300 thousand rubles in Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod region. The catalog contains more than a dozen different options that can satisfy the most demanding customers.
Construction is carried out as funds become available.
Plot. Weeds, no fences. There is an iron garage and electric. pillar on the border of the site. The plot itself cost 400 thousand rubles. Bashkiria district, area 2 km from the city.
We made a fence, bought pickets for 5 rubles. pcs., crossbars 30 rub. Painted the garage, paint (drying oil + bombaluminium) 300 rubles.
The result was a strip foundation, 120 high and 40 wide. Kamaz PGS was purchased for 6 thousand rubles. and about 10 bags of cement. Since purchasing the account, approximately 15 thousand rubles have been spent.
We took out a loan of 40 thousand rubles. We bought 10 pallets of aerated concrete blocks, about 36 thousand, and used the leftovers to use glue and cement for mixing.
Masonry work has begun. So far 55 thousand rubles have been spent.
The box is ready. They didn’t lay out the whole thing (the back wall behind the frame will be framed, to make it possible to expand the house and bring it up to the planned 9.5x9.5).
We bought mother lumber for 10 thousand rubles.
Frame back wall.
Started to deal with electricity 10kw. Shield, 3-phase 2 tariff meter, grounding. I assembled it completely myself, the electricians just hooked the vulture to the pole.
It cost 10 thousand rubles. So far 75 thousand rubles have been spent.
The foundation was waterproofed. Friends drove a used door. We bought OSB tiles, for 7 thousand rubles.
They hired a front loader for ground work. 2 thousand rubles
The foundation was sprinkled.
We started making a temporary roof. We bought bars for 7 rubles. and roofing material 2 thousand rubles. Croakers for sheathing for 5 thousand rubles. Almost 100 rubles spent. approximately.
They pulled up wooden windows. I'm around 22, my dad is 53 years old. Workers. I get 10, and my father gets 14 thousand rubles. I am an electrician, and he is a mechanic.
Winter has begun. In late autumn they made a well, bought 5 rings for 1,200 rubles, half was dug by the drunks themselves, the rest. Pipes for communications. We bought 6,000 worth of boards for the ceiling and a concrete mixer for 8.00.
120 thousand rubles spent.
We made a rough ceiling. Then I plan to use plasterboard or tension ones.
San. node Also in April, water supply and sewerage were installed. The concrete screed was poured. We bought 2 pallets of bricks, 10 bags of cement, forest sand. We started making the bathroom.
Spent since the purchase of the plot, 130 thousand rubles.
Spent some good money the other day:

Civilization is slowly coming. We bought a picrelated Ariston storage water heater for 9,000. And a pumping station, according to the promotion, cost 3,800 rubles.
The most important.
General form.
Garden. In the garden, cabbage, potatoes, raspberries, currants, grapes, corn, beets, apple trees, sloe, carrots, mint, onions, parsley, cherries and more. And now the expansion of the house. Living in the built part is quite comfortable.
I drew a sketch of the future expansion.
The expansion will be carried out using TIS technology.
They dragged the pillows under the foundation. We made a 2-meter formwork and poured 4 batches with the remains of cement. The beginning of the second part of the construction of NICHEBROD INC. CORP. it's supposed to. We are expecting a salary in July for cement. They also filled in something like a septic tank.
TISE and the site.
The window was installed the other day, pictorialized. We poured 9 meters of the foundation, there are still 9 left, but this year I don’t know if it will work. Window sill 300 rubles, two cylinders of foam 200 each. Roll of foil insulation 50 sq. m. 1300 rub. One of these days I’ll buy Kamaz clay for 2500. Our Internet connection is fine, I’ve just downloaded the first season of Dexter.
I’ll write a shopping list before I forget:
Polystyrene foam PSB-15 10 cm - 51 sq.m.
EPPS 5cm – 21 tiles 10.500
Underlay for laminate 50 m. 800
5 cylinders of polyurethane foam 1300
Foam gun 500
Chinese metal door 3000
Electric convector 2kW 2000
Apple and Plum seedling 1200 It’s +7 outside, raining. I set the convector at 18* during the day and 22* at night because... two-tariff meter. I paid for electricity and it turned out to be 1100 rubles for two months.
On our street a plot with a foundation is for sale for 900 tr. So my farm is already easily 1.2 mults
As I wanted: Lay EPPS, Folgoizolon, TP pipes, Buy two batteries of 10 sections, an electric boiler and later a wood-burning boiler.
It turned out: the ceiling is insulated with foil insulation and 10 cm of polystyrene foam, there is a laminate underlay on the floor) 1 convector, you will need to take a second one. I think I’ll spend the winter like this, but people in SIP houses live with convectors. So it goes...
Bought: RUR 12,000 Wood-burning stove Teplodar TOP200
+250 Polyurethane foam
+200 Mailbox Approximate expenses each month:
Gasoline 1000
Elvo, internet, phone numbers 1200
Credit (2 months left) 3000
Food and household goods: 5,000 approximately.
And 8-10 are left for construction every month. Normal
The stove is cooking, it's +1 outside. at home 20+ While I’m burning pallets and rubles. waste.
This month I plan to take slabs and a Makita electric chain saw. I also owe 10,000 on my credit card for EPP and PPP.
The main thing is to start. You never know what you can do till you try. Our finished timber houses are sold from 1 million (farther from the city) with plots. In general, if a business sells such a house, then its profit is at least 500 kopecks. The work is very expensive, so if you do everything yourself, it turns out to be very affordable. I bought a washing machine for 10,000 and an LCD TV for 9,000 rubles. EVERYTHING IS LIKE PEOPLE. In total, since the beginning of construction, approximately 250,000 rubles have been spent. (Including a typewriter and TV.) In February, I will probably connect IPTV and ADSL Internet. Meanwhile, gas was installed on the street. If it works out, I'll take a loan in the fall and start it. They also promise water in the spring. The cadastral value of the site is already 850 thousand rubles - a good investment, an increase of 200%. The average electricity bill is 1100 rubles per month, with a price of 2.40 per kW during the day and 1.40 at night. During the whole winter, two Gazelles of slabs were bought for firewood at 1,500 rubles each. The temperature in the house is kept at 23*C, despite the three-meter ceilings. Aerated concrete holds heat very well. So it goes. Here.
You can evaluate the future front of work. Approximate plan until autumn:
Finish the foundation
Build the second half using TISE-2 technology
Make a new big roof
Register a house
"Register"
Get a tax deduction
Connect the gas, make gas heating.
Quit and find a new job.
If I suddenly get rich, I'll build a foundation for a garage.
Stone fence.
Once again I refused my vacation and received compensation for unused vacation pay of 12 thousand. Lol. Purchased:
Kamaz PGS, 5000 rub.
Submersible, vibration pump, + hose - 1600
12 bags of cement, 3200 rub.
total: 10.000
So far, about 260 thousand have been spent.
Today I poured a meter of foundation.
Today we finished the main foundation, there are 2 bags of cement left. Tomorrow they will start pouring the foundation under the veranda.
The layout of the extended house needs to accommodate 3 small bedrooms, a staircase entrance and one bathroom.
The "height" should not be too high. 5 meters, for example, is clearly a lot. But at the same time, you need to find a balance so that the usable area is sufficient for the rooms.
It will be a big plus if you don’t have to dismantle the old rafters and build them in somehow.
I chose the cheapest version of the TISE machine. The machine costs 30 thousand, and the TISE walls will cost me the same amount.
6 rows have been laid out, 14 remain. The cement and cement are slowly running out.
Fence and area.
About 260 thousand is all the money invested, I don’t know how much is left, in principle it doesn’t matter, it’s done for yourself.
Who wants to look for plots of land on Avito and in local newspapers, of course, you can also through realtors, they sometimes buy in bulk, then cut into pieces, but I don’t want to feed the system, the main thing is that the land is owned, the type of private housing construction land. And whoever has the opportunity, then come and look and find out on the spot. Accessible all year round and good electricity. That's enough.
I have an individual housing construction type of land, owned land. (No building permit is needed, neither is the project) So, the report. We got a little pissed off and bought another 25 bags of cement and 6 cubic meters of sand using a credit card for 5,000. Corners for the lintels cost 1,000 rubles. Now you can calculate approximately how much (20 blocks left to fill) the walls cost: 2 KamAZ ASG trucks were purchased, half of the first batch went to the foundation, half of the second batch remained (will go to the floors).
It turns out that 1 KAMAZ was used up, (6 cubic meters) clean 5000 rubles
55 bags of cement, delivery RUR 13,500
Grid masonry 500r
Ruberoid 300r
Total 20,000 rubles.
Excellent result!
Finished the walls. They frothed. We started plastering and whitewashing.
Mounting foam 500 rubles
Lumber on the roof, delivery 18.300 rubles:
Edged boards 18x5x600 23pcs (rafters, mats)
Bars 10x5x600 7 pcs (wombs)
Edged boards, 2nd grade 2x10x600 1cube (crate)
And the only money left was for food...
Meanwhile, the boletus is mutating.
On Saturday we called relatives, dismantled part of the roof and installed 3 rafters, we plan to install the rest next Saturday.
Costs: 500 rubles for screws and nails. Also today I ordered corrugated sheeting, 156 sq.m., 10 meters of skates, 750 screws, 140 sq. meters of membrane for a cosmic sum of 42 thousand rubles for me. Paid by Sberbank credit card. So it goes...
We bought a Hammer screwdriver for 1,700 rubles.
Hardware products: staples, nails, screws 500 rub.
According to an approximate calculation, funds in the amount of 345,000 rubles have been spent so far. A lot of money.
Meanwhile, roofing work began.
There weren't enough boards for sheathing on the other side. We can purchase additional items in advance. We have 2 km or 20 minutes walk to the city. 10 minutes on the bike.
There is a bus.
This is how we get to work: we get up at 6.20.
At 6.50 we drive to the city by car (my father and I have the same schedule).
At 7.00 the working livestock truck leaves for the plant, the shift starts at 7.45.
The shift ends at 16.20, at 16.50 the livestock truck takes us to the city (15 minutes drive). We get into the car and go home, at 17.30 we are already there. If you drive straight to work, you’ll be home by 4:50 p.m., but this is an expensive proposition.
We don't have a project. Wiring is different. The bathroom is hidden, there are already all sockets there on a permanent basis. The rest of the cables are currently lying along the wall; in the future they will be packed in corrugation and remain under the drywall. Ventilation will be built into the false ceiling.
I bought a cherry seedling "Bessey" for 500 rubles.
The roof was almost finished, and along the way it turned out that there were not enough skates. Money is tight for now.
Two used 3x6 advertising banners for the gables 1000 RUR Two cans of foam and a new gun 1000 RUR 3 bags of cement and paint 1000 RUR Total: 3000 We installed old wooden windows and doors, tinted the paint by hand. We started pouring the floors. We are slowly paying off our credit card debt, we have 24 thousand left.
It took 7 bags of cement worth 1,800 rubles to fill the floors.
+ paint and brush for windows total 2000 rubles.
Today we bought 6 meters of d114 pipe for the chimney. 2350 rub. Cheap galvanized steel burned through.
Tomorrow I will cook and start plastering inside.
Since birth, I lived in an apartment for 22 years, now you can’t force me back there with a stick. Although if I sell the house I will have enough for 3 units in a new building. There is freedom and silence here. More space for recreation, for example you can buy a motorcycle or a motor boat. The garden is at your fingertips. In the meantime, we finished the roof - we bought additional skates for 2000 rubles, cement for 600 rubles. We are plastering the back wall. A lot of other small work was also done. Covered apple and plum trees in case of severe frosts and so on.
Make up your mind. The last word to adequate people: Thank you to those who supported, 2 years flew by unnoticed.
All in your hands. The idea was to help people who want to deprive themselves of the housing problem with their own hands but did not dare. Make up your mind. Don't feed the system with mortgages.
Short list of construction solutions from 200k-poson:
Try to do everything yourself. It's not difficult, fortunately there is the Internet. The margin for work in finished houses is up to 300%. Choose the right land - Owned, the type of land is preferably individual housing construction. Road and electricity are the main thing. The rest will follow. Cheap foundation: TISE, MZFL If you don’t know what material to build from, choose concrete - a classic. Kindergartens, hospitals, houses - basically everything is concrete.
Always insulate from the outside (dew point) Read: “Wet façade” insulation technology.
Don't get carried away by "modern solutions" from "advisers". Foundations cost 500 thousand rubles, and other excesses in theoretical calculations make the price of construction astronomical. Pay attention to old houses.

Next you will find the story of the construction of one house from an ordinary family. A modest and very limited budget did not stop them from achieving their dream of owning their own private home. What came of it, what difficulties our heroes faced and what solutions they used to reduce the cost of construction, this post will tell you about all this.
Construction is carried out as funds become available.
Plot. Weeds, no fences. There is an iron garage and electric. pillar on the border of the site.

Since the purchase of the account, approximately 15 thousand rubles have been spent
We took out a loan of 40 tr. We bought 10 pallets of aerated concrete blocks, about 36 thousand, and used the leftovers to use glue and cement for mixing
Masonry work has begun.
So far 55 thousand rubles have been spent.
The box is ready. They didn’t lay out the whole thing (the back wall behind the frame will be framed, to make it possible to expand the house and bring it up to the planned 9.5x9.5).
We bought mother timber for 10t.r.
Frame back wall.
Started to deal with electricity 10kw. Shield, 3-phase 2 tariff meter, grounding. I assembled it completely myself, the electricians just hooked the vulture to the pole.

They pulled up wooden windows.
I am 22, my father is 53 years old. Workers. I get 10, and my father gets 14 rubles. I'm an electrician and he's a mechanic.
Winter has begun.
In late autumn they made a well, bought 5 rings for 1,200 rubles, half was dug by the drunks themselves, the rest. Pipes for communications. We bought 6,000 worth of boards for the ceiling and a concrete mixer for 8.00.
120 tr spent.
We made a rough ceiling. Then I plan to use plasterboard or tension ones.
San. node
Also in April, water supply and sewerage were installed. The concrete screed was poured. We bought 2 pallets of bricks, 10 bags of cement, forest sand. We started making the bathroom.

I drew a sketch of the future expansion.
The expansion will be carried out using TISE technology
Video shows TISE technology
5 cylinders of polyurethane foam 1300
Foam gun 500
Chinese metal door 3000
Electric convector 2kW 2000
Apple and Plum seedling 1200
It's +7 outside, raining. I set the convector at 18* during the day and 22* at night because... two-tariff meter. Paid for e-in it turned out 1100 rubles for two months.
On our street a plot with a foundation is for sale for 900 tr. So my farm is already easily 1.2 mults
As I wanted: Lay EPPS, Folgoizolon, TP pipes, Buy two batteries of 10 sections, an electric boiler and later a wood-burning boiler.
It turned out: the ceiling is insulated with foil insulation and 10 cm of polystyrene foam, there is a laminate underlay on the floor) 1 convector, you will need to take a second one. I think I’ll spend the winter like this, but people in SIP houses live with convectors. So it goes…
Bought: RUR 12,000 Wood stove
250 Polyurethane foam
200 Mailbox
Estimated monthly expenses:
Gasoline 1000
Elvo, internet, phone numbers 1200
Credit (2 months left) 3000
Food and household goods: 5,000 approximately.
And 8–10 remain at the construction site every month. Normal
The stove is cooking, it's +1 outside. at home 20+ While burning pallets and other waste.
This month I plan to take slabs and a Makita electric chain saw. I also owe 10,000 on my credit card for EPP and PPP.
Our finished timber houses are sold from 1 million (farther from the city) with plots. In general, if a business sells such a house, then its profit is at least 500 kopecks. The work is very expensive, so if you do everything yourself, it turns out to be very affordable.
I bought a washing machine for 10,000 and an LCD TV for 9,000 rubles. EVERYTHING IS LIKE PEOPLE.
In total, since the beginning of construction, approximately 250,000 rubles have been spent. (Including car and TV.)
In February, I will probably connect IPTV and ADSL Internet.
Meanwhile, gas was installed on the street. If it works out, I'll take a loan in the fall and start it.
They also promise water in the spring. The cadastral value of the site is already 850 thousand rubles - a good investment, an increase of 200%
The average electricity bill is 1100 rubles per month, at a price of 2.40 per kW during the day and 1.40 at night.
During the whole winter, two Gazelles of slabs were bought for firewood at 1,500 rubles each.
The temperature in the house is kept at 23*C, despite the three-meter ceilings. Aerated concrete holds heat very well.
You can evaluate the future front of work.
Approximate plan until autumn:
Finish the foundation
Build the second half using TISE-2 technology
Make a new big roof
Register a house
"Register"
Get a tax deduction
Connect the gas, make gas heating.
Quit and find a new job.
If I suddenly get rich, I'll build a foundation for a garage.
